the perils of

A lot of my close friends are boys. Boys who like comic books. I hang around them a lot, and usually we talk about random things like physics and foreigners and lobsters having no pain receptors. We went to watch The Amazing Spiderman on a whim just recently. It was fun. Sometimes it's not so fun. I used to get a lot of sandwich jokes until those stopped being funny. Now I get "d'oh you're a girl so of course you hate comic books" jokes. I don't hate comic books. I love Neil Gaiman's Sandman . And Walking Dead, too. And Scott Pilgrim!!! But I don't read superhero comics. It's hard to be interested in them when most, if not all, of the superhero women 1.) have gigantic breasts, 2.) wear sexy clothing, and 3.) are always in stereotypically feminine poses. What if the male characters posed like the female ones? (c) Kevin Bolk And look at that. Why can't the men wear clothes as revealing as the women, or women wear clothes as concealing...

Check these out! Collectible Boys of Block XX playing cards! (I mean the playing cards are collectible, not the boys.) And, no, they're not really playing cards. They're just cut-out pieces of cardboard with pictures of two different Block XX boys pasted onto each one of them. They're supposed to be played like dominoes, where you a line up the pieces in such a way that the same pictures are adjacent to each other. In this case, you line up the cards so that a boy's face is right... next to... his own face. :| Right. Anyway. It was Jani, Karl, Arthur, Deo and Andy's group that came up with this idea for their report in Chemistry. It was all about stoichiometry, the study of the quantities involved in chemical reactions, which you probably don't care about, so I better stop yapping about it now k thx bye. (scheduled post)
