Just got back from a screening of Adventures in Babysitting. First time I've ever seen it on the big screen. The show was way, way out in Oakmont. We took the station wagon, but how else could one go to a showing of Adventures in Babysitting? Well, in a big, old Cadillac, I guess. Or crammed in a tow truck, maybe. There was a Q&A after the movie with Anthony Rapp. Daryl Coopersmith! Pretty damn slick.

Translate this into French and put it on a t-shirt: No good can come from putting toothpaste in your ear.

I call and raise you Lindsay Lohan as Liz Phair in the Exile in Guyville movie.

I watched a long, pointless movie today, but it really isn't worth talking about.

I seem to have grown another nipple.

In regards to nothing in particular:
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Ug.
A birthday should be a day for big things.
Anyone want to go knock over a convenience store?
A birthday should be magical.
All the pretty girls should whisper "happy birthday" as you pass.

The moldy cheese has been thrown in the garbage.

Fun time's over, baby.

Philematophobia.
Fear of kissing.

Declaration:
One of my favorite books: The Zoo Where You're Fed To God by Michael Ventura.

In 1893, Brickyard Kennedy pitched 40 complete games for Brooklyn.
He finished the season with a record of 25-20.

Went to the Pittsburgh Comicon on Saturday.
Spent a lot of money.
The Amazing Cynicalman paperback by Matt Feazell.
The Amazing Cyniclaman Vol. 2 #8 (which I got for free by drawing a picture of Cynicalman on a Post-it note).
Also from Matt Feazell, a Stick Figure Masterpiece of Roy Lichtenstein's WHAAM!
Issues 1-3 of Marc Hempel's Naked Brain.
A sketchbook from Adam Hughes.
The Great Taste of Deep Fried by Jason Yungbluth.
Also from Jason Yungbluth, a mini-comic, Deep Fried Suicide Note! (thrown in for free to sweeten the deal). The last story is heartbreaking.
And finally, the Top Shelf table:
Beach Safari by Markus Mawil Witzel.
Peanutbutter & Jeremy's Best Book Ever! by James Kochalka (who was at Bennington this weekend. But did Bennington have STORMTROOPERS?!?). Picked this one up on recommendation of a girl who was working the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund table.
Van Helsing's Night Off by Nicolas Mahler (also recommended by the girl at the CBLDF table).
And from Andy Runton, who was working the Top Shelf table when I was there, all three of his Owly comics, The Bittersweet Summer, Stories of a Little Owl, and The Way Home. Very cute stuff. A new Craig Thompson?
