Ok, so I just spent waaaaaay too much time designing an infographic for a SINGLE slide of the presentation I am doing this weekend. Like, literally, I just meant to throw something together and then I went overboard. So now that I have, I’m wondering does it even make sense. I’m sure it will with…
I always forget to pimp my academic appearances. I’m trying to be better about that. So I hereby announce that I will be speaking at Mr. Aloysius College’s Charity Con, this Saturday. I’ll be talking about the nature of continuity in comics and superhero narratives and how as comic fans we care way less than…
Yesterday was a good movie watching day for me. I already posted my review of Happy Death Day earlier, but since I finally got my Movie Pass card, Steph and I decided to make it a double feature and went to another movie that I had been really looking forward to right after. The biopic…
Every once in a while it’s nice to go see a movie just to have fun. Usually when I write these reviews I have some concept in mind that I want to get across, and I have a pretty good idea of what that’s going to be from the trailer before I even go to…
Kat contemplating socks…. (©PhotoKat 2007) So there‘s thIs weird thing that’s been weighing on my mind for the last month. It started as one of those deep philosophical questions that one just ponders from time to time but over the last 24 hours or so it has become something of an…
As I said in my review of The Mountain Between Us, which I knew no-one was really going to care about except for me, I saw the big movie everyone cared about yesterday too and of course I’m going to review it as well. So lets talk about My Little Pony. Oh, that’s not the movie that…
So a big movie was released today and I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for me to talk about it. I’ve been waiting for it for quite a while. Ever since the trailer first came out and it just looked awesome. Obviously I’m talking about The Mountain Between Us. What else were you thinking? Wait, there…
My friend and former wrestling tag team partner Donté posted a link on Facebook to an article a little while ago. Before I share the article I want to share my initial reaction. This is what I commented to Donté: “ oh for…. you’re fucking kidding me…. I mean, wow…..” that was my initial reaction.…
Once upon a time I used to take lots and lots of pictures. It was something I really enjoyed. I still really enjoy it but I don’t have as much time anymore. Brooke came to me and said she had an idea she wanted to try though. She was looking to do some cool shots…
I actually never saw the first Kingsman movie in the theater. That was a mistake; once I watched it at home I loved it. It was ridiculous and simple and yet in many ways completely brilliant in the way in which it reinvented and flipped the tropes of the spy movie into something fun and…
I don’t actually like horror movies. I’m not afraid of them or anything like that. I mostly just don’t care for them. It’s actually kind of weird that I don’t. I tend to actually like genre fiction a lot. And in fact I find the genre conventions of horror fascinating (and in fact, if you’re…
A lot of times when I write these little political blogs I’m very confrontational and frankly downright mean to the other side. I do this on purpose. I like making fun of people because I’m a horrible and spiteful little man. But this isn’t one of those times. Every once in a while I realize…
Another con has come and gone and I am exhausted as always. Thanks to Max and Steph for all the help. Anyway, just like yesterday, we did some cosplay photos in our booth and I thought I’d share them here. The Imperial Stormtrooper probably requires some explanation. He came by the booth and was excited…
Max, Steph and I went out to West Virginia to work at WVPopCon 2017. In addition to selling the comic book, I decided to also run a cosplay photo booth: Quick edits of cosplayers where I photoshop them onto covers or into scenes that make sense for their character. Here are some of the shots…
For the record… the KKK are bad guys. Also… the Nazis are bad guys. #BLM are the good guys. I just want that to be clear. You know… if you’d asked me ten years ago if I’d ever have to write a blog like this, I’d think you were crazy. If you’d asked me two…
