An old love revisited

Saturday night I spent a great time with a friend who reminded me that just hanging out can be fun. He brought up Invader Zim, a cartoon I was not familiar that was created by Jhonen Vasquez, a name I was very familiar. There was a time where I worshipped at the altar of "Jonny, the Homicidal Maniac." Not having cable cause me to miss out on Invader Zim, but it is available on DVD.

This friend also informed me that Mr. Vasquez has a blog on livejournal: http://chancrescolex.livejournal.com/

Read and...be translated.

Granted, it was interesting to hear news about Charlestown that did not concern the usual hard target search for bank robbers and to witness Channel 7 boldly preempt its daytime programming to provide the most coverage out of the three major stations of both events (not seeing 'Passions' and most of 'Days of Our Lives' was no huge loss).

Well, if the school deities are upset, I'd say that Charlestown ought to light a candle, listen to them, say they're sorry and fix whatever it is.

(I know-the last sentence makes no sense but what the hey?)

On Saturday, December 14th

 I spent a good portion of the day watching the Flintstones holiday marathon (with some breaks for “A Christmas Story,” “Knots Landing”-the...
