That really sucks! So if you had know beforehand, you could have planned everything out perfectly. Man... I don't even have anything cheerful to add now! That whole situation just worked out 100% against you!<br /><br />As for Levitz, I think he's best known for his work on the Legion of Super-Heroes(but not MY version of the Legion). I know he is/was some sort of big-wig for DC(pres, executive VP or something)too. I'm pretty sure he's doing the current LoSH series, but since I hate that version of the Legion, I really don't have much to say about him.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-22709778755461880162010-12-18T01:20:47.333-05:002010-12-18T01:20:47.333-05:00First, let me say that I love my bosses too.

Did I mention that we went to Vegas last weekend for our Xmas party? :D.<br /><br />Yes, my professor offers the final 4 times that week. If I had know a day or two before, I could have e-mailed him to arrange for a different time for me to go. The main problem is that Tanchen closes at 9pm, and Mapquest said it was 1 hr, 24 min drive from my work, and so even farther away from my school. I just couldn't do both. Bah!!!!<br /><br />P.S. How do you feel about that writer? I don't remember hearing you ever talk about him and I'm not good with remembering writers myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-2282241596262645662010-12-18T01:02:17.769-05:002010-12-18T01:02:17.769-05:00My thought, comment and suggestion are all the sam...My thought, comment and suggestion are all the same here... ARRGH!!! With a capital ARR, capital GH! I mean the signed book is ULTRA cool, but actually being there would have been... Well, a step up from ULTRA cool I guess! Man, that is a tough one. <br /><br />I gotta ask though, even if you would have known before hand, would you/could you have skipped the final? I mean missing a final would be REALLY hard to rationalize(for me at least!), because they're usually, you know, final! :D I think the way I'd look at it is to say that even had I known, I wouldn't have been able to make it, and as such, I wouldn't be TOO bummed over it. Sure I'd be upset, but not ranting, raving, pissed! BTW, your boss sounds awesome! I want a boss like that! :Dx-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-77540412893271897612010-12-18T00:41:59.357-05:002010-12-18T00:41:59.357-05:00Hey X & Co.,

I missed an opportunity of a lifetime Wednesday night because I had a stupid final and my boss was trying to surprise me. This was two days ago and I am still pissed at myself for missing this. What is it that I missed that I am talking about?<br /><br />"TASCHEN invites you to join author Paul Levitz and other featured DC artists and collaborators for the Los Angeles launch of 75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking<br /><br />Wednesday, December 15th 7:00–9:00 PM<br /><br />TASCHEN Store Beverly Hills<br />354 N.

As for me, I usually swing between the hilarious type of terrible, to the enraged type of terrible. Let's hope for your sake you see it as the hilarious terrible!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-56887954009204685022010-12-16T14:52:04.733-05:002010-12-16T14:52:04.733-05:00If I'd had a choice in the matter, I definitel...If I'd had a choice in the matter, I definitely would have told the library to get something else. But since that's what they did get, I figure I'll make the most of what I can get for free!

At least I know the mental anguish I undergo as I read them is well worth it!<br /><br />I've got to agree with Lisha here, Marc... You're asking for trouble if you read that Brightest Day hardcover! Don't say I didn't warn you, my friend! :Px-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-37940806417917219102010-12-15T20:48:33.635-05:002010-12-15T20:48:33.635-05:00The ONLY thing I'm looking forward to this wee...The <b>ONLY</b> thing I'm looking forward to this week, is Brightest Day. Lol. You're not reviewing anything I'm reading this week but doesn't mean I won't be around to stick my nose in and say my two cents :)<br /><br />But, Oh how I can't wait until the BD Rant. Lol. I can hear it now. <br /><br />And Marc, lol, you should've warned your library of the terrible garbage they just purchased!!! lol. I can't wait to hear what you have to say either when you do get a chance to read it. Lol. <br /><br />Let the fun begin!Falisha Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298555562761767317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-2133538193543087722010-12-15T18:49:45.116-05:002010-12-15T18:49:45.116-05:00Haha, I can't WAIT to hear what new depths Bri...Haha, I can't WAIT to hear what new depths Brightest Day has sunk to this week! I'll be really sad when that series is over, because that'll mean an end to your and JT's hilarious reviews of it. And speaking of Brightest Day, guess what new hardcover I just found out the library purchased a copy of...that's right, Brightest Day Vol. 1! I promptly placed a hold on it, so hopefully I'll be able to read it soon without having to give DC my money for it.<br /><br />Also, just one more paper left for me before this semester is officially over!! I'll be doing lots of comic-reading, including most likely getting caught up on issues 2 and 3 of Uncanny X-Force. I can't wait!Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.com
