twitty mays

I thought it was strange that Billy Mays wasn't in the trends list on twitter, so I did a search for his name. I found some people's tweets(?) amusing.

Adesto: I tell my sister Billy Mays has died. She says "Isn't that a Michael Jackson song?"

DaanDobber: out of respect for billy mays i will leave this stain in my shirt

maryhannah99117: Why couldn't it have been the Sham Wow guy? R.I.P. Billy Mays!

Steveskin: It doesn't seem like anyone is mourning the loss of Billy Mays...

VictoriaKesoma: I HAVE 3 MORE MINUTES TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS IN MEMORY OF BILLY MAYS. RIP <3

seanmoneynyc: I mean 4 real Who the hell is Billy Mays most of you white people never cared about MJ so why should I give a fuck about some dude who sells

cHRIS_gREGORY: RIP BILLY MAYS, d never heard of u, but sounds like u were respected alot

fill my heart with song

So AIM ain't working tonight so I can't talk to the dude. Thinkin 'bout him though. And this song was running through my head all day, I thought I might share it. Dedicated to you, my donkey.

Fyle? Kysh? Olivyle? Kyliver?

What will they call the much-anticipated (by me, anyway) gay couple on One Life To Live? Here's a shot of today's episode, where we get to see Oliver Fish and Kyle Lewis in the classic I'll-turn-to-the-camera-and-you-talk-to-my-back soap opera pose. That's how you know it's legit.

They're so cute. The writers are dragging the gay stuff out a little more, which is fine with me. Fish just asked the black chick out again, but she's already all "I wonder what went down between them in college?" I love when seeds are planted early on and have time to grow. Buffy did that a lot.

a new listerine

You know, for the gays.

padi-o

I been doodling with my Bamboo pad tonight. I love it, it pretty much looks like i drew this shit on paper. And no scanning.

officially the stupidest thing i've ever seen

The title says it all.
Got this from A View of the C.

for kc

I know I used to draw a lot of robots that had "I am a robot" written on the chest in those days for some reason, but you have to admit this picture's sending a charge to your brains pleasure centers. Aside from the rad quote, there's some weird Final Fantasy thing in the corner. What the hell is satonic? Was that from biology? I don't even remotely remember.

the terrible thing on alpha-9

I got this fun cartoon from Drawn! It's by Jake Armstrong. I like the clean yet crude feeling of the animation.

do you like fish sticks?

My boyfriend is the best. He just gave me the best news today. My recent favorite soap opera, One Life To Live is FINALLY getting a gay storyline! As soon as he told me, I knew exactly who it was going to be. Officer Fish. And perhaps the gaydar I didn't know I had was working in his case because he's a total homo in real life, which I also just found out today. Officer Fish is played by super-cute Scott Evans , brother of studly Fantastic Four star Chris Evans, and he's only been in Llanview for a few months.

First, Officer Oliver Fish went on a date with this one chick and it went ok, but he broke things off when he was seduced by disgusting skank, Stacy, but then Stacy blew him off. That's was it for his personal life UNTIL, while at the gym,and in the midst of a serial killer investigation, Fish runs into an old frat brother. This is Kyle Lewis, played by Brett Claywell, a hospital lab guy involved in two non-related stories. They seemed to have a moment and that's when I called it! They are so gay together!

Now even though I called it I think my credibility might be in question since I always hope that a new male character turns out to be a gaymo. I've always done it on the soaps and I'm always wrong! I'm so excited, not only was I right, but it's going to be hot and here's how I know. Fish is a cop. Lewis is a criminal who just got busted for blackmail and other junk. And, they are casting for a third male character to tear their relationship asunder. It's all so exciting to me!

Speaking of fish, there were a couple of pictures from KC's family trip to Palm Springs I wanted to put up, and one has fish in it. But I need to locate my little memory card adapter so that will have to wait. In the meantime, here's pretty much everything I just said in a youtube video. Keep in mind, these scenes were spread out over months, so it wasn't all so obvious in the beginning, save for maybe it's cuteness.

batman and robin

I don't understand Grant Morrison.


How come sometimes he writes really great stuff and sometimes he writes total gibberish? The recent Batman R.I.P. storyline was confusing and poorly executed. Not only did I not see Batman die at the end of it, I wasn't even sure if the story was suggesting that he died. I had to read in another title altogether that Batman was considered dead. (Oh God is he going to come back in the Blackest Night storyline?!) The Invisibles was admirable but still convoluted and hard to follow. The key seems to be pairing him up with artist Frank Quietly. They won me over with their classic work on New X-Men and I loved their superb work on WE3. Now, after his last Batman stint left a bad taste in my mouth, Morrison delivers an enjoyable (so far) Batman title.

As I said, Batman is "dead". So, after the Battle for the Cowl storyline, Dick Grayson, the original Robin, who has gone by Nightwing probably longer than he hasn't, has assumed the mantle of Batman, a rite he has shied away from his entire post-Robin career. And the new Robin is Bruce Wayne's biological son, Damian (I don't know what happened to Tim Drake), making him the fifth Robin. Morrison writes Damian, a highly-trained brat with a superiority issue, really well. You just want to smack him when he talks down to Alfred.
The villains are just plain creepy. Mr. Toad, someone called Pyg, who wears a grotesque mask, and his red haired minions. They're gross and I can't wait to see more.
There were still a few akward places in the script, like this quote from Grayson Batman:


Crime is doomed? What the hell is that? There's a couple of times it seems like NightBat is taking a Spiderman-smart-alec approach to crime fighting.

At any rate, I dig this book and I'll keep picking it up. Plus, lesbo-hero Batwoman will be the main character in Detective Comics coming up here soon. That ought to be fun.

just all ten of my children

A character recently returned to All My Children cast with a different actress. The odd thing about the casting is that it seems to be a case of reverse-SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome). Commonly, characters will come back way older, leaving a child or teenager and returning as an adult. In this case, however, she seems to have gotten younger.

Liza Colby was portrayed by Marcy Walker until 2004. She returns now played by Melrose Place and Just the Ten of Us alum Jamie Luner. Luner is about nine years younger than walker in real life so, after a five year absence, the character has anti-aged by nine years. It doesn't help that her daughter has gone from a baby to a college student in the same amount of time. I think usually this would bother me, much like the SORAS inflicted upon Elivs Aron "EJ" Dimera on Days of Our Lives. Originally the son of the AWESOME Susan Banks, EJ went from infant to 30-year-old in about eight years. His return also failed to even address what happened to his mother, Susan Banks, played masterfully by Eileen Davidson. Watch here for classic Susan.

Where was I...? Oh, yeah, while it would normally irk me, I think Luner is doing a great job. OF course I remember Just the Ten of Us, but those memories have long been misty and water-colored. Melrose Place I totally remember and she was great in that too. I like how she plays the character and I think she's pretty and sultry and gives the show some sexy backbone. I hope it lasts!
