Verisimilitude

I got my final set of Lantern Rings today!  WHOO HOO!!!  Kneel before the my rings!

Seriously, I love this promotion.  This month, DC gave away multi colored rings to promote the Blackest Night books.  The books themselves are really fantastic.  Add in the bonus of owning 8 rings representing the multi colored Lantern Corps and it's badass. 


Yellow=Fear
Red=Rage
Indigo=Compassion
Violet=Love
Orange=Avarice
Blue=Hope
Black=Death
Green=Willpower

I now can kick all your asses with cosmic retribution, so be good to me.

Idea #4

I've always had an idea for some kind of comedy routine where you play to comic conventions.  In this performance, the comic does the same kinds of stuff you'd do about real life events, things etc. but put it wholly in the comic world.  

So the commentary would not be breaking the 4th wall, but stepping behind it.  So you'd talk about, say The Legion, as if they were totally real.  So the thought for this would be to comment on the comics of the week, which I get at least 7 every week, so that wouldn't be a problem, and provide commentary as if I were a citizen of the universes that they occurred in. 


So it would essentially be a topical blog about fictional universes.  I like the idea, but it's real unformed.  However, I think this has the best potential for some creativity and making something unique and entertaining to a specific crowd.

Thoughts?

MotD: Adventureland


A quiet, understated and well made movie about the summer before college where he's forced to work at a theme park.  I like this kind of movie, very character driven, funny but not slapsticky funny.  It's kinda opposite of the more recent comedy style of lots of improv, crazy non-sequiters and what not.  There's a place for that, and it's fun, but there's something appealing about enjoying the stories of real people who just happen to be funny too.  Recommended for all.
