Neurotic Neologisms Nicole Lee’s random sputterings

This Thanksgiving

Give thanks for the life you have, but don’t stop reaching for the life you want.
Give thanks for the food you are about to receive, but don’t forget to resume a healthy diet after that.
Give thanks for friends and family, but remember it’s okay not to get along with them every once in awhile.
Give thanks for your health and wellbeing, but remember not to slack off too much.
Give thanks for the holidays, but remember you have to get back to work soon enough.

I’m kind of a realist. Sorry.

Chipping away at debt

In reference to my previous entry on financial juggling, it looks like things are looking up. My credit score just increased by 13 points. Booyah! Yay.

That’s all I wanted to say.

Why tonight’s Simpsons was so awesome

There are five reasons:

1) Jack Black as the Comic Book Guy rival.
2) Animation of Tintin and Snowy, with red rocket.
3) Alan Moore, Daniel Clowes, and Art Spiegelman make an appearance as themselves. If you don’t know who these people are, please get thee to the book store immediately.
4) Alan Moore, Daniel Clowes, and Art Spiegelman, as ripped super heroes who can fly.
5) Alan Moore singing the Little Lulu song. Also, Milhouse showing a mock comic book entitled Watchmen Babies in V for Vacation. So. Awesome.

Seriously, it was a series of inside comic book jokes that completely reward those who care about independent comics and graphic novels.

Oh, and if I may suggest some books to read to completely school yourself on the awesomeness of these comic book geniuses and pioneers:

• Maus
• Watchmen
• V for Vendetta
• Ghost World
• Eightball

Happy

I find it harder and harder everyday to do this Nablopomo thing and actually post something of substance. But hey, it’s about quantity not quality right? Right.

Anyway, right now I’m buzzed off three beers and a sip of some horrible cough syrup flavored drink. So I’ll keep it short.

Happy anniversary Laughing Squid, and congratulations to Andy Baio for leaving Yahoo and working on Waxy.org full time. Yay to everyone!
