Spring Break and other things (probably)

Spring Break at Northern Kentucky University began on Friday March 6th. Consequently this puts the next episode of A Nerd’s Guide To The Universe(S) postponed until Tuesday the 17th, and puts me living in my parents house in the illustrious Henry County, Kentucky for about a week. I am spending plenty of time with Caitlen though and my parents are in Florida till Wednesday night so I have their house to myself (and my oldest little brother) so its not all bad. 

The guys and myself  from A Nerd’s Guide To The Universe(S) attended the official grand opening of the comic book store we make a mecca to every Wednesday, COMICS 2 GAMES. If you follow me on twitter or are a fan of A Nerd’s Guide To The Universe(S) on Facebook, which I’m sure you are then you would have known that were attending. 

The guys over at Soapbox Media posted this fine video of the opening!

Just an Update

I haven’t had a post in a while because I was trying to figure out if it was worth it to keep writing or if this was all going to be erased due to my Intro to Social Media class. Well its not! So here’s an update on whats going on with me and my projects!

A Nerd’s Guide To The Universe(S) is going great. We finished our third episode this week and soon it will start appearing on iTunes (within the next few weeks?). This coming Tuesday (March 2nd) will be our special PRE-WATCHMEN episode! 

Head In A Storm Cloud has a few projects in the pipeline, we’ll see what I can get going in the immediate future. 

I had a major breakthrough in the development of my detective film. Some of the plot points finally got worked out and I can move forward a little bit more. Hopefully, we’ll see a screenplay and script in the next month or two and a storyboard soon after that. When I say we, I mean me and the people helping me! You have to wait till its done! I wouldn’t want to give the story away!! 

I just finished readin Sinestro Corps War. Very impressive, of course it is Geoff Johns. Superboy Prime is annoying as hell. The Anti-Monitor went down to easy. The thing I thought was weird was that when these two universe destroying villians show up, the Anti-Monitor and Superboy Prime, all the heroes immediately react to Superboy Prime and not the Anti-Monitor hardly at all. Now don’t get me wrong, Superboy Prime, is by far one of the MOST powerful characters in the DC universe, but the heroes should have been downright terrified of the Anti-Monitor!! He destroyed thousands of universes! Hes fucking terrible! He is the worst thing they’ve ever faced! There was almost not reaction. They were all very preoccupied with Superboy Prime. 

My friend brought up the fact that some of the characters might not have remembered it. I think this was true right after the event happened, but I know at least Superman has had his memory of it restored since Infinite Crisis. Again, pretty weird. 

I’m reading Crisis On Infinite Earths right now. I’ve read the other crises -Infinite Crisis (woo), Final Crisis (meh) but I’ve never made it back to where it all started, but now I finally am. Ya know what? I’m pretty dang impressed. The dialogue is a little cheesy, but hey it was 1985.  This is how crossovers should be set up however. Every hole is covered and the story has a lot of depth. Very pleasing, Full review when I finish it. 

I am going home again this weekend so it’ll be one of those things where I’m going to be online a lot or none at all. Hopefully a lot cuz I have quite a bit of work I could be doing. I also might be doing a bit of traveling so check my Twitter to see where I am! Also, Mike from A Nerd’s Guide To The Universe(S) is now on twitter too.

See ya soon.
