I've cultivated the ability to keep reading despite almost anything going on. If I were into the book enough, I could probably read through a Bernie Goetz incident.

Sorry that is what I was saying, I literally was putting my bookmark onto the page as I was getting off the train. I have very nearly missed my stop the last 2 days as I was trying to get to a point where I could finish.

Anyway, jesse, how was TFcon?

It was great! The con floor was big and had a lot of variety, they had room set aside just to display 3rd party figures. I caught the tail end of a couple of Beast Wars voice actors, and then got to listen to an uncensored Aaron Archer which was really good,he answered a lot of questions, and surprisingly most of them were about Alternators. My last event was the 3rd party panel, and it was ok, a lot of crap is coming, and 2 seperate companies are making Defensors, Masterpiece sized Dinobots, and Megatrons. At the very end of their panel, they closed the doors and told us no pictures, and then took out a protype mold of a combined Dinoking, it was really cool looking, I cannot wait for them to start releasing the limbs.

Also on the show floor I saw one of the 2 different masterpiece sized Astrotrains, now I need to figure out which one to get.

Nice little animated tribute to the G1 Autobot ladies by Randall Ng and DrSmoov:

Ohhhhhhhh, that. Yeah, that's the downside.

Awesome! Sounds like a great time. Did you nab any more figures/toys to add to your collection? (not talking about the Astrotrains)

What I do when I get close to my destination, is finish the page where I know that I won't be able to finish the next one; that's where I place my bookmark. I don't have much trouble picking up in the middle of a particularly entertaining/exciting chapter; I just jump right back in again.

Well it looks like my group in my government is called the Avengers. I hate it when people who don't like or don't read superhero comics talk about superheroes.

Some 3rd party made this little set:



A friend is big fan of Blurr so we split it and I kept Ironhide.

So you have never almost missed your stop because you were in the middle of a page.

I like it, because it means I can join in for once.

I get annoyed when they berate for not liking a movie like the Dark Knight by saying that I'm too much of a "fanboy" who can't appreciate Nolan's genius.

I just enter speed-reading mode and glance over the paragraphs.

Wow, that's so silly.

Okay, this is making me squee and squee and squee uncontrollably. Before, I was worried that Marvel was oversaturating the movie market with these superhero flicks. Now I say fug it, open the floodgates!

I'm actually growing tired of the entire genre. Let's see something new in theaters every summer.

Hey, j-j-jaded, you got your mama's style
But you're yesterday's child to me
So jaded
You think that's where it's at
But is that where it's supposed to be?
You're getting it all over me and serrated

My my baby blue
Yeah, I've been thinking about ya
My my baby blue
Yeah you're so jaded
And I'm the one that jaded you

Hey j-j-jaded
In all its misery
It will always be what I loved and hated
And maybe take a ride to the other side
We're thinking of
We'll slip into the velvet glove
And be jaded

My my baby blue
Yeah, I've been thinking 'bout ya
My my baby blue
Yeah I'm so jaded
And baby, I'm afraid of you

Your thinking's so complicated
I've had it all up to here
But it's so overrated
Loved and hated
Wouldn't trade it
Love me, jaded

Hey j-j-jaded
There ain't no "Baby, please"
When I'm shootin the breeze with her
When everything you see is a blur
And ectasy's what you prefer

My my baby blue
I'm talking about ya
My my baby blue
Yeah I've been thinking about ya
My my baby blue
Yeah, you're so jaded
Baby, jaded
Baby, you're so jaded
'Cause I'm the one that jaded you

I personally like every superhero movie, to a certain extent. I never really cared if they did the character perfectly because that's what the comics are for, or at least were for before the New 52. Superhero movies are long past due, but I do agree that there needs to be some actual good movies beside superhero movies.

Well, that's what the smaller arthouse theatres are for, and the film festivals.

I schedule to take the next two weekends to visit the Leiden International Film Festival, and see a bunch of movies that might be good.
