Current Ramblings

While Mike Allred's art does not exactly evoke Rob Zomble for me, I can't help but get a chuckle when "Living Dead Girl" comes on the radio.
Today was my first day at work after the vacation (I say "the vacation" in the same way one would say "the loss", as though to distance myself from some great tragedy. I don't know why I do this.), and I was immediately reminded of my love for my job when I was greeted by not only an excellent Brave Series art/story/guidebook thing of the sort that tend to accompany anime series, but also a set of GI Joe young adult novels that included the one written by popular sell-out R.L. Stine. Any author who would write not one, but two books about an actual roller coaster presumably entirely because the owners of the theme park paid him to is quality kitch by my standards. He also wrote the immensely popular for two weeks "Goosebumps" series, for those who have never worked at a book shop, and an impressive number of exactly the sort of young adult horror novels that I skipped over entirely in favor of Stephen King. I was thrilled to death, especially with the Brave book. I spent most of the day giddy over the character sheets for my beloved Ryujin, who I swear I will someday make into the Autobot soldiers they deserve to be.
