Some quick notes
May. 13th, 2010 09:39 pmLooks like I'm going to be on unpaid leave for a week longer than I expected. Means more time for the illustration, writing and house chores, though.
I saw tonight's FlashForward. Good installment, the night before the season-ending Cliffhanger. From what I'm hearing on Facebook, next week's installment could be another one of those cliffhangers ordered to remain unresolved by network decree. I hope that rumour's wrong, partly because I'd love to see more episodes like last week's "Course Correction" written by franchise founder Robert J. Sawyer his own self. Yes, having said "Hello" to Rob's face yet again this past Monday at the Clocktower Pub, I am bloody well biased on this point.
Bat-stuff of note: I am liking Damian Wayne more and more as time goes on. Last week, in the pages of Batman and Robin # 12 and Red Robin # 12, he had two very good moments. No, I will not spoil them for you here. Go forth, buy and read the stories in question yourselves.
Out in our world for a moment: I suggest that you keep an eye out for one book in particular over the next little while: The Armageddon Factor The Rise of Christian Nationalism in Canada by Marci McDonald. It builds on an article for The Walrus under her byline a couple of years back, "Stephen Harper and the Theo-Cons". I intend to lay hands on it via the library soon for a closer look-see.
