Desperate-athon

Mass Wisteria
Ah, I loooove this show. I can identify most with characters Bree (Marcia Cross), Gabrielle (Eva Longoria), and Bree's son Andrew (Shawn Pyfrom). Image hosted by Photobucket.com Nice Desperate Housewives site here.

Fantasmagoric Thing
Saw Fantastic Four last Saturday. It was... hmmm... formulaic. Pretty average. Anyway, here's the Human Torch (Chris Evans). Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Cheap comics!
Went to CQ North Edsa to deliver copies of LNA last Saturday when I discovered that the shop was having a weekend sale! Yay Vinnie! Benedict and I got a number of old and recent 30-peso superhero books. Wow. What a bargain.

Speaking of superheroes, I ran into Andrew at CQ Mega last Friday and he suggested that I do a spandex-centric story before the year ends. Apparently, he liked the brief Alternaturals sequence in LNA and he wants to see more mainstream action-adventure tales and less social commentaries from the local scene. Just like Benedict. And Vinnie. And Dean. Hmm... we'll see, then.

The Dracqonian Image hosted by Photobucket.com Pencil drawing, June 2000
The Dracqonian has been sighted in various Chinatown districts all over the world since the 1970s. The costumed vigilante is rumored to be an ancient dragon of myth trapped in the reanimated body of a slain detective, and is said to relentlessly pursue those who have violently taken the lives of innocents.

So I take it you finished watching all episodes already? I stopped at episode 9 but took a peek at the season finale so I would know what the secret was - shocking but well not as much as I wish it should've been :P

I hope the girls at DH won't become divas. I heard they had a bit of a problem in a photo shoot (VANITY FAIR?) and Nicolette and Marcia were absent from the KNOTS LANDING reunion show (ahhh perhaps it was just a schedule conflict but still...) :D

Haha. I'm glad you were able to find something in the sale. It's sort of a dry run for our 20th anniv.

And yes, more superhero comics! I want the Alternaturals too!! :)

Jac! I've seen it. Galing no? :) Ano email addy mo uli?

Gumby- If you skipped the episodes leading to the ending, you missed a lot. Many of the supporting characters were developed within that span. Watch it! :) My friend and I agree that Marcia Cross should've won the awards for her portrayal of Bree Van De Kamp.

Divas... Marcia seems like a down-to-earth person in real life... in an interview she mentioned being comfortable with owning a simple car. The photo shoot incident may be part of the show's publicity, for all we know. ;)

Vinnie- more sale comics!!!

Superheroes... we shall see. ;)

Max- I miss Miranda too... she's the one I can relate to the most in that show. And maybe Carrie. :)

Dragonlance... not really familiar with it, sorry.
