Yet another minor update!

Just wanted to let you guys know a few things.

First off, this week's reviews are going to be late. I've got to go be in a commercial today, woo hoo! I'll try to have it up tomorrow. Some good stuff this week, continuing and deepening a lot of stories. (Green Lantern is, I think, particularly good this week.)

Also, I've been thinking about how I want to do things and I've come to the decision that, after the first arcs, I'm going to cut back severely on reviews, and only do 3, 4 a week. Simply put, there's too much good stuff to read from DC right now, and as much as I'd like to review them all, it's going to be a lot easier on my sanity to pick what I think are either the best books or the absolute worst one of a given week. I'll still try to do other, non-DC reviews, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9. (Very good this week.)

That said, I'm also going to regularly put up those family life posts. Or, at least, try to. :-) I'll also try to get my to cents in on various comic book related stories that float around in the aether.

Which reminds me.

Another chain has pulled DC comics from their shelves, Books-A-Million. Now, BAM did that because they're owned by Barnes & Noble, so it's not like companies are jumping on a bandwagon yet, but it is a slippery slope. I'm hoping that Local Comic Shops sieze this opportunity and advertise that they're carrying DC books. Anything to pump some money back into their stores. Although, given the prevelance and popularity of online sales, and the fact that these stores still carry DC in that format, I'm a little doubtful as to how much this will hurt Barnes and BAM.

Be interesting to see how this plays out.

Also, if you needed an excuse to buy something like Trix or Lucky Charms, I suggest you read this story and drool: 'Justice League' Comics Getting Packed In General Mills Cereal Boxes Through The Fall I'm really looking forward to eating the heck out of some cereal! :-)

Keep reading and see you next time!

These are the Star Wars, they never end!

Two semi-big things to talk about this time. First, the truly important one: I got at least one kiddo watching Star Wars! Yay!

After some false starts in watching it, I got the elder of my children to watch Star Wars with me Sunday. At first, despite earlier in the week having agreed to and said they were excited about watching it, when it came time to watch, they seemed reluctant. Can't say I was surprised, but I talked them around. And, at first, I thought it was going to be a little different, with the elder not wanting to watch and the younger sitting around for the cuddles. But, no. The younger child's reluctance showed up right as I stuck the movie in. She went off to play upstairs and do other, thoroughly important things. :-) Can't blame a guy for trying.

Elder, though, seemed to get into it. She said that her favorite part was at the end, when Leia was dressed like a princess, which, I gotta say, doesn't even surprise me a little bit.

All told, though, neither of the girls really sat down and watched it, so I can't really say whether or not they enjoyed it. Maybe another time.

That's one of the things with children. You can't force them to like the things you like. My daughters geek out over different things. Younger, right now, loves Starwberry Shortcake. Elder loves reading. Whatever keeps them happy and learning is fine by me.

Besides...we'll always have Phineas & Ferb. :-)
