Journeyman for Life
Apr 30Journeyman is really probably not coming back next year, which is lame cause it was a really good show. Yes, they kind of did that “Oh, here are some songs and hairstyles and key parties and bell bottoms to tell you what era we’re in now” thing, but the stories were solid, the mythology was interesting, and the lead performance from Kevin McKidd was really quite dreamy. Only I refuse to refer to him as “Kevin McKidd” or even his character name. He will always be simply “Journeyman” to me.
I’m going to a screening of Made of Honor tonight to get my Journeyman fix. I’ve been babbling all day about how “I prefer Journeyman to McDreamy” and “Journeyman’s hair doesn’t look so good in the trailer” and “Oh, look, Journeyman is apparently one of the only characters with a last name, probably to show that he’s Scottish.” Friend Jenelle is getting a real kick outta this, let me just tell ya.
Anyway, I’m a little worried about Journeyman, though, because I think he might get his heart broken. Maybe he can just zap over to another era and solve a mystery to soothe his soul.

Someone Take a Picture…
Apr 29…before I cause a car accident with my gawkin’.
There’s a big wall on La Brea that is usually home to an eye-catching mural of some sort. I drive by it every day and have been greeted by a mooning Mona Lisa, Marion Cotillard clutching her Oscar, and Madonna and Britney’s gigantic heads making out. Now the mural’s moved over a little, to another side of the wall, and it’s this amazing rendition of TOS Spock rendered in a color block-y, vintage movie poster-type format. It’s lovely. And I keep meaning to try to take a picture of it, because this entry would be so much better with a picture, but this traffic-clogged corridor doesn’t really offer a good way to pull over and trying to take pictures from one’s moving vehicle while one is trying to power through Los Angeles traffic is probably a bad idea. So someone smarter/more artistic than me please go snap a shot of this before it’s replaced by scandalous graffiti of Miley Cyrus or something.
Four-Color Critiques #1: Where's Huey Lewis and/or his News?
Apr 25Chronos #1-8 is something I picked up as part of a swap, because at first I confused it with Hourman by Tom Peyer and Rags Morales, which I also want to read someday. Upon realizing what it really was, I decided I wanted to read Chronos too. I mean, time travel, late nineties hair, and a Z-list supervillain–what’s not to love, right?

Apr 24David Uzumeri over at Funnybook Babylon has an AWESOME theory on the identity of the secret villain behind Grant Morrison’s latest Batman epic.
It’s genius. Really. Read it. Unless you hate spoilers. It’s that good–it might actually be a spoiler.
(Which means someone may have actually out-thunk Morrison. Scary.)
