The demise of the neighborhood comic book shop

For 10 years I was a loyal customer of Sky High Comics in San Marcos. The owner knew me, and knew what kinds of comics I was interested in. I didn't have to request books, he knew what I wanted and would order new titles for me.

A few months ago, the owner sold the shop. The new owner doesn't even seem to be trying. I've gotten maybe 2 comics in the past 3 months, and it's been over a month since I've gotten anything. Not even an Usagi Yojimbo.

And so, after a decade, they've lost me as a customer.

Short bus kind of special

Watching the Star Wars Holiday Special

Oh dear GOD this program is painful. Episode 1 is a masterpiece in comparison. The whole program is basically 90 minutes of Wookies growling. But at least it has a good Wilhelm Scream.

Even a miracle needs a hand...

One of my all-time favorite Christmas programs was on tonight, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. Lousy bastards at ABC Family cut out Father Mouse singing "Give Your Heart a Try"
