kybearfuzz | More Odds and Ends (Reply)

Here are a few odds and ends of the week so far (and it's only Tuesday):

Saturday, I went to see a matinee of Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension. The reviews have been poor for the flick, but since I've seen all of the others, I wanted to watch it. And not subject others to it. It's not the worst of the series, but far from the best. The only positive was the eye candy, as the two guys playing the lead brothers were very hot, both sporting facial hair and had good bodies.

Since the matinee was a bit of a bust, I opted to watch my favorite movie Saturday night, Black Christmas (1974). It being November, it seemed appropriate to watch a movie that's a mix of Halloween and Christmas. I do love that flick. Part of me wishes that the awful remake in 2006 had been a sequel instead.

On Sunday, the Kickstarter for the first issue of "The Crime Fighter Inquiry" closed. It was written by boomerz1 and drawn by yours truly. The issue has been sitting on the shelf for a few months, but because of our busy schedules, we've not been able to get things moving on it. The Kickstarter finished at 214% above the set goal, which was very exciting. So, we'll be working on finishing up the issue (one of the incentives offered was to have yourself drawn into the comic) and then we'll be working on printing and promotion.

One of the things I've seen in the news of late was the Starbucks cup debacle. Debacle is a strong word for what essentially stupid, overly religious nutjobs trying to make drama and a name for themselves. The relatively plain cup doesn't have any major holiday symbols, so one particular douchebag has decided that this is Starbucks taking Christ out of Christmas, or some other tired rhetoric. He even thought he was clever for telling the barista that his name was "Merry Christmas" to get them to write it on the cup. He was proud of that. Ummm.. they'll write whatever you want, and often misspell it, and you PAID for the coffee, so... yeah... you showed them. *snark*
