Something Borrowed, Someone Blue

It’s weird when people borrow stuff from you and it takes years before you get them back. I miss my old Marvels series—five issues painted by Alex Ross—and it’s been almost ten years since I last saw them. I also have other comic books with other friends, and while we don’t keep in touch as much as we’d like, they’re still people I don’t regret lending my stuff to.

But I miss my things. I wish people had some initiative to return stuff that aren’t theirs. Some people at least acknowledge that they still have some of my belongings. But I tried contacting other people about meeting up and getting my books back but, pfft, no reaction. If my things can’t be found, just tell me. I’d appreciate that a lot better than getting no response. Please don't ignore me.

If they're lost, or in bad shape, I'm okay with getting replacement copies. I'm okay with getting their cash equivalent too, but that means I still have to look for new copies myself. Oh well.

Ain’t Cookin’ No Mo’

Hey, South Park’s back at Jack TV! Was it ever off the air? But they’re still old episodes. It made entertainment headlines again just recently, because Isaac Hayes (Chef) left the show last week. The practicing Scientologist reportedly wasn’t comfortable with the show’s irreverence towards his religion. But the show’s creators have responded that, to paraphrase, he didn’t have problems with other religions being made fun of before. Story here.
