Simple things make me happy. I’d love to see a kid’s show today as awesomeGeotarget

Y’know, as an aside, I think of the 70’s New York as the Definitive “Spider-Man” setting… possibly that’s when I was reading the comics of the time. Wide Collars, brown vests over flowery shirts, Girls with ironed hair and wide hair-bands, bell-bottoms. Heck, Morgan Freeman as Easy Reader.

When I think of DC comics, my mind rewinds a bit to the mid-late ’60s. (Unless it’s war comics – Same goes for Captain America/Wonder Woman, set in the late 30s, early 40s.) – But Friendly-Batman is linked inexorably to the 60’s or 90s as “hardcore guy” , while Superman is the ’50s… almost Archie-style. Team-ups between the two, or JLA stuff flashes a bit forward to 80s-ville.

TV and movies are part of it, but more is the comics themselves.

I got a lovely postcard from Aieysha! Thank you!

It was a picture of the Qasr Farid Tomb, Carved from Single Large Outcrop of Rock, Madain Salah, Al Madinah, Saudi Arabia


Set up a Wireless network over at MW’s house last night.. .I didn’t get cookies, but was given a nice check and some pizza for my troubles, so that worked out just fine. MW’s hubby is a comic book geek, and I think he was happy to be able to discuss assorted nerd-stuffs with me. He’s a nice guy, and I think he was surprised that I could identify the golden age Red Tornado pvc on his computer desk.


I saw Hal Linden on whatever the current Fran Drescher sitcom while flipping channels last night. I’m glad he still gets work, but even Barney Miller isn’t enough to lock my eyes on a “Nanny” spinoff.


I’m not a fan of the Friends TV show, but in that same flip, I heard a cute lyric sung by Lisa Kudrow –

Little tiny Tarzan,
swinging on an nose hair,
swinging with the greatest of ease…
