I watched a movie last night on netflix, Jug Face. So yeah there's that. Not really sure what to say about this movie. Some things happened to some people and then the movie ended. I'm not disatisfied with the movie but it's one of those "one time is enough" movies.

I had double fusion back surgery in 2008 and drove up to Lincoln to my nephew's baptism, over 400 miles each way. Since then I've had terrible pain in my right buttock, thigh and knee. After trying everything I could think of, including stretching, acupuncture, deep tissue massage and TENS-unit therapy, I went back to my neurosurgeon.
After MRI's, CT scans and x-rays, we find out my L3 disc is crushed on the right side and my spine has severe curvature he's going to try to correct.
Surgery will probably be in the next month and I'll probably be off work for about 3 months, like the last fusion.
I've been working since then and told my manager I'll work until the day before surgery, just not as quickly as normal.
Just ordered the Hurry Cane off the internet, with the quad base. Getting up and down is extremely difficult and my leg is weak. Anxious to see if this works as well as I hope it does.

Got pulled over by John Law for an expired license sticker. I thought that when I bought the car new, they were supposed to give me a sticker good for 2 yrs from the time of sale, but the dealer now claims that it was supposed to be from the time the car went on sale. Yet I know of one person-- also a resident of my state-- who bought a new car and got a 2-yr stickers from the date of sale, so I have a feeling my dealer is ****ting me. If it's true that in my state dealers are free not to supply such stickers, I guess my only way to beat the ticket is to ask for a jury trial and try to delay as much as possible so that the officer won't appear. One last question for the room and then I'll shut up about this-- Has anyone ever bought a new car and not received a sticker good for two years' inspection from the date of sale? Assuming that your state requires new cars to be pre-inspected for such a period... Registration in Ohio is for 1 year only and no matter when you buy the car or register it, it is only good until the month of your birthday. I f your birthday is in June and you buy the car in May, you have to register it again in June. Full price for registration both times too. -M

Mark Waid has announced he is doing a new creator owned series for BOOM! with "one of the most revered artists" in the industry as the artistic collaborator-a good friend with whom he's never had the opportunity to work... in the background of the video announcement was a Batman cowl, a Batman action figure and a poster-sized print of the Superman vs. Ali cover...could they all be hints pointing to the identity of his collaborator-I know Mark likes to do things like that..so I am guessing a few of our Neal Adams fans may be seeing new work from him soon....we should know by San Diego... -M Mark Waid and Neal Adams? Here's that video announcement by Mark... -M PS BOOM! is going to avoid the SDCC news crush and do an announcement a day leading up to SDCC, so hopefully more will be forthcoming. Also, the solicitations for George Perez's new creator owned series from BOOM! were in this past month's previews so they have been working hard to bring big name well-regarded talent to their stable for creator-owned work.

I didn't even notice the adjective "new" in gothos' inquiry. Only time I've managed to buy new was an '88 Dodge Colt for $6,000 or so. That apparently represented the peak of my financial existence, since my next car, bought in 2000, was a '97 Hyundai Accent with something like 14,000 miles on it (an actual example, evidently, of the stereotypical "owned by a little old lady who only drove to & from the store on weekends" vehicle), followed some 3 years ago by a '96 Maxima with 140,000ish. I'm clearly going in the wrong direction ...

It played out exactly to my pessimistic side despite a hope for some justice. But it was written the way it was. I guess when it's fiction you hope for the better rather than a documentary on human behavior.

Speaking of movies with strong reactions, I just have to share...everyone loved The Departed, and it won all kinds of praise...I was not impressed. There, I said it! It was overlong, bloated, and the ending was horrible. I have no idea why it got so much praise.
On the topic of "once is enough," has anyone seen The Road? Excellently-done. Brutally depressing. I would be happy to forget that movie existed, but it was good at what it set out to do.

One of the problems with The Departed is that if it makes it into the top ten films directed by Martin Scorsese, it just barely does. So that it feels wrong that it's the film that finally got him his Oscar when it isn't nearly as good as whole lot of other films he's made.

A few site statistics I'm excited about and felt like sharing:
1. Did a google search from a strange computer today and found that, while the CCF is only the third search result for "classic comics discussion" and other similar terms, it's the first search result that actually works. The first points to CBR's independent forum, and the second points to the CBR main forum page.
2. This site, on average, has 55 members and 250 guests visit per day.
We're still not getting a lot of active new members, but hopefully that will change with time. With a high google search ranking, so much daily traffic, and a new frontpage, we're bound to keep attracting new blood to the group and, in the meanwhile, this is still the most active I've ever seen this community, even two months after the initial excitement of the move has died down.
