Ever Have...

...One of THOSE days?
You know, where you keep opening the Internet Refrigerator, hanging on its door, letting all the cold and trolls spill out, hoping that each time you open it something new and delicious will magically appear?
And you check to see when the light goes out? (Lisa does.)

And oh my god did we suck at Guild Wars tonight. Went on a mission, and were immediately kacked. I have a Necro Barbie, and I'm good at killing 8th Level Gargoyles and trading their skulls for candy canes (WOO HOO! 400 candy canes!), but I'm always the red shirt on missions. So me getting killed, is just SSDD. Lisa's warrior getting killed? SHOCKING I TELL YOU.

Tonight, when I said goodnight to King, I walked out of the bedroom, saying, "Watch! Rooms get brighter when I leave! See?"

Did I mention anonymous posts were off? They are. Trollish anon posters will now have to go somewhere else to be twats.
People registering to be trolls, people already registered who are planning on being trolls: you might as well fuck off now. Don't bother posting, ever. You're not welcome after you come into my house and piss on my carpet.

How to Change the Comic Book Industry

Heidi Meeley wrote a great series of articles at Comics Fairplay about improving the comics industry, and they address the chain from top (the companies that make them) to bottom (retailers).
She talks sense. You should go read them because there will be no hair-pulling in my LJ today.

Quit Comics: The One With the Ass Grab

Ronee Garcia Bourgeois is the VP of Friends of Lulu, and columnist at Buzzscope. Two weeks ago, "What a Girl Wants" was about a young female comics professional who was assaulted by a male professional. After reading that, I wrote to Ronee for particulars, and agreed to talk about my own experiences for this week's WaGW.

Also talking to Ronee were Colleen Doran and Beatrix Kyle.

Let the fan hit the shit.

A side note: I thought everyone this week would be naming names. I look like the sucker who stood there staring into the sun while everyone else took a step back after the request for volunteers to take a step forward. That's okay, though. This is part of why I quit.
