So today marks the first day of my vacation...a stay at home Clinton Calls for National Week Off To Get National S*** Together kind of week. As I said to Ksenia, "man I can't wait for the week to start and see how little I can get done".

And in that spirit, I've noticed that my backlog is all clogged. Not the good backlog with its own little database backend, the backlog which is like a big online Notepad .txt file. Some of this stuff might not even be things I meant to post, just things I wanted to look at later, so bear with me...there might be some interesting doodads.

  TF Archive has a LOT of information about the Transformers. The reason I was there is a little weird...I was looking for a certain comic cover. For some reason, I kept visually misparsing the upper image ("JB"'s Avatar on atariage.com) as my memory of the image below, a cropping of "Transformers Headmasters #1"...something to do with the former's sharp lines and Optimus Prime like colors I think, though it seems rather odd to me. Anyway, when I was there I found out about Transformers / G.I. Joe, a crossover set in an alternate WW2-era universe where Cobra is pre-emptively taking over Europe with the help of some Decepticons he unearthed...and all the Transformers have cool WW1/2 modes, Grimlock is a British Mark 1 tank, Starscream is a WW2 plane, Soundwave is one of those clunky receiver phones with the dial on and his "helpers" now transform into grenades not cassette tapes...
• Jordan Matter's "Topfree" Women in NYC. Great for people who want to celebrate how "exhilarating [it is] to shatter the walls that society has placed around them" or just for folks who like looking at half-nekked women in public places.
• I think I saw the URL honbatz.com at a Burger King. Really really appealing little monsters. And I like the notice at top... "Hey Kids! This is Advertising!"
• Summary of different financial lifeplan books.
• I really need to check out this game Graffiti Kingdom. It's kind of a followup to Magic Pengel...both let you sketch your own creature which is then automagicaly animated by the computer...it's quite impressive, but I think the new game should let you have more direct control over your creation. (Pengel was just kind of a Rock-Paper-Scissors Pokemon-style turn based combat game.)
• HowItShouldHaveEnded.com's Star Wars Episode 4 was funnier than I expected, but the other movies weren't that great.
