Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm well aware of Blue Beetle's sales numbers. Hell, it's lucky to have made it past 2 years.

I'm just living in my own fantasy world where quality and critical acclaim mean more than profit.

Oh, neat! How is the seventh season of Firefly ?

You're asking the wrong person, my friend. I'm the heretic who didn't think much of the *real* episodes.

S9 of Farscape rocks, though.

I just finished Ocean, by Warren Ellis. Has anyone read it? It's pretty neat. It reminds me a little of Sunshine in that it's intelligent science fiction that ends up turning into an action movie.

I liked Ocean a lot. Which was nice because Orbiter was kind of a letdown.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Spectacular Spider-Man was actually good this morning. Or maybe it was just that I liked how they handled the symbiote so much better in the cartoon than the film.

Did you watch the cartoon in the '90s? They did a good job too.

I caught what I think were the first two episodes of Spectacular Spider-Man in a hotel a few months ago and was pretty impressed.

I must have missed that. I'm surprised D hasn't gotten it from Netflix. The last Spidey cartoon I watched regularly was Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. I used to watch the 60's one in syndication when I was a kid. I loved it but Mom would watch it with me and critique it to death. I thought she just didn't get it until we bought the whole series a few years ago. Another lesson that Mom is always right. I think we've only tried to watch it once.

The Spidey and X-Men cartoons in the '90s were where all my comic book knowledge came from before I got into comics. I loved them.

I'm told it's obvious I learned about X-Men from the cartoon since Gambit is my favorite.
