Belated Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ This week, Grendel #1 (1983) Alas I came to Grendel too late to find this contemporarily. This was a late 90’s eBay bidding battle win. #TopShelfFriday #comicbooks #comics

Pocono Peddler village booth B13 They have Rescuers glasses! Underdog!

Morning viewing: Re-Wind (1988) on the Criterion channel as part of their VHS Forever collection. I am not going to lie I went in with just the description which led me to believe it was horror but it’s more like soft core porn with some arty violence. #filmsky

Upgrading books in my Avengers Vol 1. #1-50 run. First up #33. Not as clear an upgrade as I had hoped on submittal but I think the 5.0 presents nicer. #comicbooks #silverage

Evening spin: Wendy Carlos - Clockwork Orange(1972) Wendy Carlos is a pioneer in the use of Moog and other synth instruments and I bought this from eBay as I thought it unlikely I’d find locally. #vinyl

Depluralize a movie. A Crow on the Orient Express

35 years ago I saw Clash of the Titans at Great Woods. Alice In Chains Slayer Megadeth Anthrax July in MA was really hot. We had seats under the pavilion for a change so we had protection once the sun went down. Layne Staley was stoned, we were close enough to see he was out of it. 1/3

Happy Zombie Jesus day! (If you celebrate.) As a kid, Easter was about the Catholic version of this Christian holiday (I was raised Catholic). Which meant a big stuffy holy Mass & a basket filled with eggs, candy, &/or a few gifts if my mother wanted to avoid us getting too much candy.

“My double vision always seems to get the best of me..” Two new arrivals back from CGC and two older ones. These all have fairly high grades on the inner covers! Love them!! #comicbooks #doublecovers

Spinning: Steve Miller Band - Greatest Hits 1974-78 (1978) I had this record as a kid and it’s as good as I remember. #vinyl

First photographed observation of the spring 2026 season! Best guess: Barn Funnel Weaver (Tegenaria domestica) #spiders #invertebrates #photography

Pearl & my wife got home earlier today, I’m on dog duty tonight while my wife goes to meet her new horse as it arrives at the stables. Pearl is now 4 years old. It’s been about 18 months since her ARVC diagnosis, we consider all the time we get with her since then as extra bonus. #dogs #boxerdog

Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ This week, a survivor (I bought this on publish date). 'Mazing Man #12 (1986) I was deep in the throes of full-on fanboy love of TDKR at the time. #TopShelfFriday #comicbooks #comics

Recovering from the procedure this morning I’m watching this on Blu-ray. I’ve always been fascinated by bison. www.imdb.com/title/tt2713...

Had a procedure at the podiatrist for an ingrown toenail. The process itself was pain free but still not fun for me. The end result will hopefully be worth it. Another round of antibiotics too, what fun.

Holy crap. This is a .. grail probably too strong a word but I haven’t seen it since .. well it’s been a long time.

In the early 2000's there was a boom of remixes & mashups out there, many were shut down or went silent due to rights etc. I have a lot of them & I realized there's little way for them to be heard by streaming customers. I see the Kleptones survived on SoundCloud, that's encouraging. 1/3

We are going to have the (20+ years old) garage door motors in our garage replaced. I am getting excited about this. I think this means I’m old??

Second half somewhat better but still, 6/10 for me.

I am watching a Monday matinee on Netflix: Anaconda (2025) I’m about half way through and I wouldn’t say it’s “bad” but it’s not very good. I had more hopes for laughs and/or a snake eating people. www.imdb.com/title/tt3324...

Moving on tonight: Foreigner - Records (1982) A best of album with an awesome concept sleeve. #vinyl

Now playing : The Pretenders - Pretenders (1979) A staple of rock radio then and now a staple of “classic rock” stations .. #vinyl

Conan the Barbarian convention sketch, 2016, by Tim Truman. I picked this up off Heritage for $134 which I felt was a steal for Truman art of one of my favorite fantasy characters! #comicbooks #art

Grendel original art post: All art by Matt Wagner Not new scans today, just first time I've ever put them up together. #originalart #comicbooks

GrimJack Killer Instinct (2005) issue 3, page 6 Art by Tim Truman I managed to get this off eBay for less than I expected, and I treasure it. I would love to find some Truman from the 80's! #originalart #comicbooks

Elektra by Josef Rubinstein #sketch #art #comicbooks

Now playing! Art of Noise - In Visible Silence (1986) I don’t remember this album but I’m almost certain I have the CD upstairs boxed away! #vinyl

I'd bought a few pieces from this artist on FB including a print of this, later the opportunity came up to get the original watercolor from him! Usagi & Leonardo in "First Impressions" by Brian C. Parks #comicbooks #art #watercolor

Darkseid sketch on a coaster from a Hero Initiative auction by Walter Simonson. #comicbooks #art

Scanning some art/comms/sketches never scanned before, just snapped a pic. Once scanned, there's a folder I use & a program to cycle through my scanned comics/art/sketches/etc. & put on my computers' desktops. What's a collection if I can't look at it? Hulk sketch - Josef Rubinstein #comicbooks

It's almost impossible for me to believe, but I commissioned this Spider Woman/SpiderGwen from @fabricesapolsky.bsky.social in 2019, 7 years ago!? I never tried scanning it previously so I just had crappy phone pics. I've remedied that now. #comicbooks #art

Good Morning BlueSky! Now playing : The Police - Regatta de Blanc (1979) #vinyl

Slept in my Suicidal Tendencies shirt and woke up institutionalized.

Now playing: Rick Wakeman - The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (1975) Another pioneer in use of the Moog synthesizer! Not his best piece but I enjoy all his concept album work! #vinyl

What’s up my peeps!? Yes indeed: U2 - Boy (1980) Another favorite of mine. #vinyl

This came with the Comico black slipcase I bought as a teen off the shelf at a comic convention in Wethersfield, CT. It survived all these years & means a lot to me. I have the slipcase but it has not stayed in as good condition as Devil's Vagary. #comicbooks

Check out the lyric video for our new single. Album will be out on May 1st. Recorded by the late great Steve Albini! youtu.be/YKVyILbTk7A

Today is the final day, the epic conclusion one might say, of our years-long play through of the #Pathfinder 2E Blood Lords Adventure Path. #ttrpg

Now playing, pioneering work by Wendy Carlos - Switched on Bach (1968) I am hoping to find more of her work on #vinyl but we will see! Mostly I’d like to find the Tron soundtrack. 🤞🏻

Now playing: Journey - Escape (1981) The stuff of junior high school dances, arcades, & jukeboxes, not to mention a staple of 80’s radio. Plus what an album cover! #vinyl

I made that sound like War is post Joshua Tree. It’s not. I meant that I’ll be buying and listening to U2 that doesn’t go past Joshua Tree. War is one of those records

Grinding glyphs in Diablo IV, now playing: U2 - War (1983) Im not a fan of their later work post Joshua Tree but this album is excellent IMO. #vinyl

Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ This week, Batman/Grendel Red Foil signed by Matt Wagner. Found at an antique shop in a stack of terrible 90's ashcans/small sized comics for $15. #TopShelfFriday #comicbooks #comics

On Carl Barks’ birthday, some Barks covers of a few great issues! #goldenage #comicbooks

Today is the birthday of writer and good duck artist, Carl Barks (March 27, 1901-Aug. 25, 2000).

Other than a not so fun time getting my IV for the contrast the cardiac MRI was relatively uneventful. Boston traffic going home was ugly, but I’ve driven in worse.
