If I'm Ever Bored...

If I'm ever bored, one of the things I can count on is having fun "people watching" over on MySpace. My goodness that place can be such a train wreck.

I also like to check out Wil Wheaton's posts over on TV Squad, specifically his Star Trek: The Next Generation episode reviews. I especially dig his "How much of a wienie did the writers want Wesley to be?" comments.

And then there's hitting the various comic book blogs for discussion on the latest colorful, serial train wrecks. I guess Marvel's Civil War series was the latest with a lot of "WTF just happened?" getting tossed around--mixed with a healthy amount of anger at what some people realize did just happen. I could probably conceive of a whole post on the topic, but one of the reasons I stopped buying comics regularly (aside from a tightness in funds) was that I perceived that despite the supposed "clearing of the air" that occurred with Infinite Crisis in the DC Comics, that particular shared universe was not far from collapsing under its own weight. I'm pretty sure Marvel's in the same boat, and reading the criticism of it from a detached perspective is rather interesting.

When all else fails, I sit around and daydream about what I'd do with $370 million in lottery winnings.
