What America Needs
Oh, thank God.
I know so many young children who have chubby, not-yet-grown-and-formed bodies that should read this. I see them running around parks, full of laughter, and think, “UGH, look at how their chubby little arms flob around!”
This book will finally dumb it down for them and let them know that they should be more aware of their body shape and how it is simply too round in...

Seriously people?
It seems that the people who are negatively saying that the new half-black-half-hispanic Spiderman looks like Obama are the same people who think all black people look the same.
Of course, Im making assumptions and could be wrong. KIND OF LIKE THE PEOPLE MAKING NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT BOTH A FICTIONAL COMIC CHARACTER AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Let's Be Real
Reboots are about money. Movies, comics, games… it is all about the benjamins. Your “breathe new life into ‘X’” or “Update X for more modern times” belongs in the garbage.
If you truly believe that you are updating a story or a character for today’s audience or some other pish-poshy reason, you are kind of saying, “Hey, our original writings...

Breaking News for Nerds
Studio Animetropolis has partnered with best selling author Tad Williams. The will be creating an animated feature based on William’s first novel, Tailchaser’s Song.
Yes, that book about cats is being animated.
This is why I go to comic conventions. Totally. Really. I mean, duh.

Phil Hester
Houston’s Comicpalooza is this weekend as a member of The Press, I will be allowed to drool all over people that I admire.
However, as I am planning out my convention schedule, I am stuck on what I should do when I approach Phil Hester.
Currently, my top choice is to run up and punch him in the face for his WonderWoman writing and then dart away crying. I feel that this may be too...

This has no real point
For some reason, I thought life would smoothen out after the wedding. I honestly believed that somehow getting married meant I could relax, that moving in together would help relieve stress, and that somehow my job would get better.
But it didn’t work like that. After the wedding, I had this new relationship, meals to avoid cooking, a job to quit and an awesome job to acquire, a new puppy...

When is it ok to suck?
San Diego Comic-Con is hands down the most popular and richest comic convention. Every time I visit their website, I am in awe of how bad it is. As the page loads, I am teleported back to 1994 and AOL. If you listen closely, you can hear a, “You got mail!” chime, I swear!
Why don’t they spend the time and money to update their site to something amazing? Something that equals the...

My Opinions About Superman. Because You Care.
If you have not picked up a copy of Superman #900, you may want to skip this due to MASSIVE SPOILERS. Then again, it has been posted everywhere already.
In issue #900—a very topical issue—Superman renounces his American citizenship. Naturally, people have a problem with this.
While the old’n days of comics never officially stated that Superman is the American hero, you must...

This is my life. This is what I do.
You know how you spend an evening Photoshopping a picture of the Immaculate Heart of Mary surrounded by machine guns while holding a taco and think, “THIS. This is why I got into design!”
But then your Catholic mother calls you out of the blue and that’s the end of that feel good feeling.

Resolutions and Goals. The Suckage.
Yeah, it is a new year and you are trying to be a new you and that is just fantastic because the current you totally sucks. And that smell, oh boy, do something about that smell.
A lot of people are either all talk about their new goals and resolutions or are yammering on about how resolutions are lame and/or how they always ditch them. Well, I am here to convince you to not make any new...

Another answer.
brienis:
Why Helvetica Neue? What do you have against old Helvetica?
BRANDI. I know this is you. Stop questioning my font choices.
And anyway! What’s wrong with Helvetica Neue?!
I love you Brienis, but that was NOT me.
But the statement still stands. As a designer, you should know the differences and why the original Helvetica was created in the first place-therefore determining how you...

I'm about to order my wedding invitations.
My mother has denied ALL of my suggestions for the wording on my wedding invitations. Quite frankly, I think she is being a little too mother-of-the-bride, if you catch my drift.
What do you guys think?

It really isn't that long. Seriously. I write like...
We are ignoring the fact that I am not good at blogging frequently, right? Yeah? Ok then.
While I have a slew of odd tales to tell, I am going with a classic, heartwarming Christmas story. This is one that is great to tell in person but really deserves to be online. This is the story of… my eye. Oh, and it really doesn’t involve Christmas.
What many people don’t know about me...

This post took a weird turn because I honestly...
Look, I am trying really hard to not talk about this wedding stuff. In fact, I’m pretty much past wedding stuff and have headed straight into nesting. But not domestic nesting. It’s more like a “all-of-my-crap-and-none-of-your-crap-because-you-have-poor-taste” kind of nesting.
So, since Mr. Man and I are getting married, we are getting pre-marital counseling. I like...

You know how you start running off at the mouth? And then someone tells someone else and then your own boss has to publicly declare that he doesn’t know why you hate cats. Even though you never claimed to hate cats?
That’s why I have this thing. Because if I am left alone to Twitter and Facebook, people assume I hate cats. True story.
Now that I have my own place to talk about it, let me...
