Guess Today was a Good Day. Also, Meowth & Pikachu Ice Cream

August 24, 2010 Jeff Ayers Other Topics Comments Off

This is what I’m reduced to to keep the Daily Planet daily these days… Links to and pics of Pokemon-shaped ice cream scoops, incorporated with references to moderately-forgotten and totally off-topic but nonthe less pertinent songs by Ice Cube in the face of a schedule so hectic as to make a Marine tuckered out by dawn while trying to maintain some semblance of a personal life. I’m not kvetching so much as exposing what random geeky crap runs through the mind of a happy FP manager.

And it was, very much so, a good day.

‘Specially cuz I didn’t have to use my AK.

February 8, 2010 Manga, Shonen Jump Comics Comments Off

Why is this week so awesome? Well, it is the first week of February and Viz has decided its time once again to avalanche us with titles. And I mean that in a good way. First and foremost, Naruto Volume 47 is here, and you know you fans have been fiending for it. Pain is attacking Konoha and they’ve taken heavy damages. The toads are doing the best they can but it won’t be enough. Even Toad Sage Naruto can’t handle all the death and destruction, and no one can tell if it’s for better or worse when one more death causes him to sprout 8 out of his 9 demon tails. […]

This is our special Pre-Christmas issue, which I know might sound like it’s coming late, considering you have been listening to Christmas music on the radio and watching Christmas shopping commercials on TV for weeks now, but I believe that the Christmas Spirit shouldn’t hit until December…or at least after Thanksgiving. And here we are. Besides, this is the first week of December, which as usual means a ton of stuff is coming out, and quite honestly some awesome stuff to boot. […]
