LIEK OMG HARRY POTTER IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS!!!!!!!!

hehe, I'm so excited. I hope the next few hours go by fast! I'm at the library until 9pm, then I'm going to dash home with zauber_vz in my car and blu_harvest on my tail, change into some comfy jeans, then put both of those guys into my car and zoom off to The Senator where hopefully destertale and verdatum will be waiting and dstntpl1grm not too far behind. I MUST remember to grab my camera for I feel photographic hijinks will ensue.

So, I had this little idea, inspired by one of my co-workers who has started her own reviewing blog the Brown Book Loft, to start a blog for reviewing comics. I've been cheating with my sources, asking vertigozooropa and blu_harvest for things to read, but what about people out there who don't have these two wonderful gents to give them ideas? How do they find out about 'Y: The Last Man' or 'Transmetropolitan'??? I've googled a few times, trying to find a site with decent reviews that didn't look like it was run by a publisher or distributer and that doesn't sit well with me. I want to make something that can appeal to a new reader, someone like me who sorta stumbled into the whole thing and has now become a little addicted. Also, I'd like it to be something that a media specialist/librarian could look at to find graphic novels for their collection.

Of course, this task is far too much to handle alone. I'm only capable of reading the TPB/collected versions of these comics. But I know many of you make that weekly trek to the comic shop and seem to have your ear to the ground about these sort of things. I want this to be accesible to anyone and everyone.

so, who wants to help? You dont have to be an aficionado, just someone who enjoys reading comics and would be happy to have an intelligent discussion about them on a semi-regular basis.

the hotness runs in the family

My brother is adorable so very very cool

I wish he'd post those pics to LJ though, I freakin' HATE MySpace sooooo much.

zaubervz, if you're reading this - GET A FREAKIN' SHUTTERBOOK or FLICKR ACCOUNT!

Okay, like, half the librarians in this branch have MySpace accounts now, it's ridiculous. And, of course, I'm friending all of them. But I truly hate MySpace. Why can't they all get LJ accounts. LJ is so much prettier. No ads or pop-ups. it's free and pretty. And I hate logging into it while I'm at work cuz they have Internet Explorer and it doesn't block pop ups like Firefox. Ugh.

HARRY POTTER IN 6 HOURS!!!!!!! w00t!

EDIT: okay, you have to have MySpace to see those pics - but don't worry, I did teh evil hotlink below so you can see them without signing up.

( so you don't have to sign up for evil myspace to see what I'm talking about )
