Gah! Busy!

No time to properly blog. Have some argumentative bullet points, instead.

• Last night I threw my arm out playing Boom Blox on the Wii. This is officially my lamest injury.
• Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was good. If you disagree with that statement, it’s likely because you’re a deeply jaded cynic for whom there is no hope for personal happiness. You probably haven’t enjoyed anything on an un-ironic level since you were nine years old and you deserve to be pitied.
• Guess what? I still write comic books! Big announcements coming soon, but in the meantime, here’s the cover for OUTLAW TERRITORY, a new western anthology coming this fall from Image. I have a story in it, with newcomer Melike Acar on art.
  
• Last week Jill’s boss got us VIP passes to the Portland Roller Derby. Holy God, that was fun.
• The new Ladytron album is terrific, although I’m a little disappointed they didn’t continue in that weird techno-goth direction they seemed to be going in on Witching Hour.
• I get to hear that album live tomorrow night. Hooray!
• New site design. Yea or nay?

More bloggings when I have time.

Whether they do or not, I’d like to take a moment to give some props to my lovely wife Jill, who, in addition to having recently survived the horrific experience of having a power-mad doctor stab her repeatedly in the stomach, was also officially hired last month by the excellent Oni Press as an Assistant Editor.

Attagirl.
