Happy New Years, Jim Nation!
My only wish is that your 2009 is as Jazzy or ever more Jazzy as your 2008.
No, wait. That's not my own wish but I still hope you have a Jazzy New Years.

This is Entry 57: I should do more!
This is the second entry this month & will most likely be the last.
For this month. :)
Next month is a new year, I've been thinking that I should really get off my keister & do more with my small part of the Blog-O-Sphere. I've got like 3 months worth of comics that I haven't talked about. I don't yet have this weeks. Why? Stupid snow screwing up deliveries. This week's comics, according to the guy at store, won't be in until Tuesday maybe. He then said next week's won't be in until that week's Friday so I don't know what going on with that. Hopefully the schedule will get back on track since the snow is melting now.
With the snow, I've been taking a few pictures which I could post some but I said I'd post that picture of the brownie's I made like a year ago but I still haven't done that so Snow pic's might also never come. One never knows.
Also, I've bene thinking about doing some special comic book related postings, the other only one I've thought given any half thought to is posting cool old ad's I've find in... old comics. Today's comics never have all that interesting ad's. It seems to me that all the really cool ad's stopped being in comics in the mid to the late 90's.
So, until next we meet: Stay Jazzy!

This is Entry 56: Comics are still a coming!
So... uh... I have got like 3 months of comics, 15 to 20 back issues & a graphic novel yet to be reviewed here on the Ol' Blog-o-Sphere. And I'm not sure if I get around to do it it before the end of the year which will mean that I have Christmas presents to add into the mix & also the comics I buy between here & then. There is some much cool stuff heading our way in 2009: Marvel's Dark Reign looks awesome! So, this is basically just an update to say I that I'm a procrastinator. Tune in later to see if I actually do something.
EDIT: I added a listing of those people in the Jim Nation, those are people who have left comments to this blog since it was created. Why Jim Nation? "Jim" is the blank name I give all my readers when I refer to them in my posts. You want to be a Member of the JN? All you have to do reply!
So, Stay Jazzy!

This is Entry 55: Comics are a coming!
This is just a quick not to tell of upcoming posts. I've a big ol' pile of Comics that I've boughten over the months of October & this month (November). Also, today at one of my local Comic Book Shops they were having a sell: 6 bucks buys you a pound (roughly 10 to 15 comics), your choose. I bought 5 pounds.
So, those reviews are upcoming. Like in the next week or so.
Stay Jazzy!

This is Entry 54: My Blogging Personality
I took a short online Quiz about my Blogging personality & here's what it said:
Now the only one that I think is actually true is the first one: I blog like no else is reading since no one is actually reading this. If someone is they don't bother telling me (i.e. replying). I have have had some long blogs but I doubt they would be considered "long winded prose". I do consider myself "Easy going and (somewhat) flexible". I haven't befriended any other bloggers yet.
Until next time: Stay Jazzy!
-Brian
Your Blogging Type is Pensive and Philosophical |
 You blog like no one else is reading... You tend to use your blog to explore ideas - often in long winded prose. Easy going and flexible, you tend to befriend other bloggers easily. But if they disagree with once too much, you'll pull them from your blogroll! |

This is Entry 53: Getting political!
It's been a month & day since I last updated this here ol' blog but I thought today was important. Today I voted & got a sticker for doing so! :)
Now my process isn't all that great: I don't follow politics all that much. I could could really care less who's doing what at the moment. So, when I'm standing there with a my supplied Bic pen in hand I go for a few things:
- My # 1 is I'll vot for you if I know who you are. If I don't know anyone in the race, I go with a name I like. I know it's stupid but sometimes it's better some other ways of choosing out there.
- I guess 2 is I don't think you screwed up. Now you might have but I don't follow politics & only hear scattered bits of info so unless it's a major screw up: I'll think your doing fine!
- 3 might be I don't find you annoying/your ads' annoying. I purposely voted no on a initiative on something today because I found them annoying so "No Vote for you!"
As for the Big One (President) I was one of those undecided voters. I watched a few of the Debates, heard bits & pieces of speeches & other stuff but I didn't really know who I truly wanted to vote for. But I was slightly leaning towards one candidate then the other. Yes, I knew there were others running but it was truly a two person race: The old white dude versus the young half black dude.
So, now the votes are happening & it wouldn't be another 2 or 3 years until this all starts up again.
Now so of you how might read this my not like my process but hey: I voted so I can now complain all I want if something goes wrong. That's my main thinking: If you don't vote, you can't complain.
Happy Election & Stay Jazzy, Everybody!

This is Entry 52: Comics!
It's been a little over a month since I made a posting & been 2 months since I made a posting about comics! So, here's one long post:
------------
Marvel
- Fantastic Four: I've read this series on & off for years. I had stepped away from it but had come back to see what Mark Millar & Bryan Hitch would do with their run on the book. I enjoyed their first story but the current one I'm on the fence about. I do like their redesign on the way the cover looks, It's very snazzy.
- The Invincible Iron Man: I picked up this series, which launched shortly after the movie came out, mostly because I'd enjoyed the movie. The series, written by Matt Fraction, is enjoyable. The story is Ezekiel Stane (Obadiah's son) taking his revenge on Tony & Stark Industries for death of his father.
- Captain America: I started reading this book at the time it's main character kicked the bucket & keep reading to see where writer Ed Brubaker was going with the story. He just finished up the Death of Captain America storyline: the new Cap has excepted his role & twist with the red Skull should be interesting to see where he goes with that.
- Captain Britain and MI13: one of the Secret Invasion tie-in books I'm reading (I'm not read the main story but a lot of the tie-in stuff). It's interesting to see a different take on the MU.
- Avengers: The Initiative: one of the better books to come out of Civil War. Issue #13 has been one of the better single issue stories I've read in recent years. Long Live, Emery Schuab! This book has become tied up in the Secret Invasion but has still retained much of what makes the book enjoyable.
- Mighty Avengers: a book that has changed since Secret Invasion has started. I've seen hide nor hair of any of the members we had when the book started. It's turned in a book where Bendis can do back story stories or stuff with Nick Fury's rag tag bunch of would be heroes. i don't mind that group but the book does have the name "Avengers" on should at least one of them appear?
- New Avengers: Much the same story of MA just sans the Fury subplot.
- New Warriors: a job book that at times has suffered from some bad art (there have been times that I've found it hard to tell members apart if their not in costume). This book to has also become tied up in the Secret Invasion but it's been on the outskirts so it's that's been ok with me.
- Runaways/Young Avengers: It's another Secret Invasion tie-in book (There are a lot of those, aren't there?). I mainly read this just so I could know what's happening in Runaways. It was an ok story but nothing all that earth shattering.
Speaking of that book...
- Runaways: a book that relaunches for the third? fourth? time. It needed something after Whedon's chronically late storyline (it started off good but lost momentum). The art changes to a more cartoony style which takes some time to get use too. It's been an ok story & looks to be leading to something good.
- Guardians of The Galaxy: a good book that followed up to 2 good mini series (Annihilation & Annihilation: Conquest). The book has picked up some threads Secret Invasion & used them quite well.
- Wolverine: The "Old Man Logan" storyline has been one of the more geekerific storyline that I've read in awhile. I've been liking this more then his FF run.
- Big Hero 6: A mini-series for Japan's main Super Hero group. An enjoyable first issue, looking forward to seeing where this goes.
- New Exiles: was a big fan on Exiles but not so much as the relaunched series. It's just not grabbed me like the other series did.
- Marvel Apes: an enjoyable book that has gone beyond what could have been a real clunker.
- House of M: Civil War: The story of how Magneto came to rule that alternate dimension. I've been enjoying this & the past revisit to the HoM universe (House of M: Avengers).
- King-Size Spider-Man Summer Special: One of the only Spider books I've picked up recently. I really enjoyed it. You know it's going to be good from the first page. 95% of the book is good, there is a story in the middle that seems misplaced. It just didn't fit with the rest of the book. One last comment: Inside it's shows how the marriage of Mary Jane & Peter can work.
- The Age of The Sentry: Tales from the The Sentry's adventures from the 1960's. The book is written half by Jeff Parker & the other half by Paul Tobin. Both were enjoyable tales, looking forward to rest of the series.
Speaking of Jeff Parker: Marvel Adventure: The Avengers & X-Men: First Class are also written by him & are awesome. In the few issues of MA:TA Parker has been splitting up the book between him & Paul Tobin, similar to how TAoS is but both stories in MA:TA connect to each other in someway.
I have 3 Back Issues:
- What If... Wolverine led Alpha Flight: I picked this book up to add to my growing WI collection & I noticed who drew it: Bryan Hitch. I must say that over the last 14 years he's art style has definitely has changed. It's virtually unrecognizable as his art.
- X-Men Millennial Visions: a one shot book that had been looking for awhile. It's the first appearances of a few character that later one show up in Exiles. Plus, I like seeing alternate/possible futures.
- Ant-Man's Big Christmas: I picked the book up on whim & was really surprised at how good the story is.
--------------
DC
Action Comics: One of the more Awesome books out there. Writer Geoff Johns hits it out of the park every month!
Justice Society of America: Ditto.
Ambush Bug: Year None: a humorous journey through the various DCU events of the recent years.
Superman/Batman #51 & 52: Mini versions of the Justice League & Injustice League invade the normal DCU & hilarity ensues!
Booster Gold: one of the better solo hero books out there!
The Brave & the Bold: always some interesting team-ups in this book. I also like that each issue can be read on it's own but also adds to a larger story.
Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds: I think I had a medium sized Nerdgasm when I read this. It's that awesome! Now if Issue #2 would only come out.
Tangent Comics: Superman's Reign: one of the more interesting five week events from the late 90's return with an equally as cool mini-series. It's nice to see these characters again.
DC Super Friends: an odd kid comic.
Top 10: It's back with what it's calling "Season Two" after few years away. This time without Allan Moore doing the written duties. The book is good but the art is a bit weird, it's a mix of painted art & just colored art. Me noticing that took me a bit out of the story, but it was fine issue none the less.
I also picked up some back issues:
- A few issues of DC Comics Presents, every issue Superman teaming up with someone: In Issue 50, He teams up with Clark Kent. Some strange space anomaly is involved. In Issue 51, He teams up with The Atom (Ray Palmer) & time travel is involved. In Issue 57, He teams up with the Atomic Knights. The story wasn't exactly what the cover promised. I wanted to see the "great Atomic War of 1986". But sadly it's only part of a dream. In Issue 71 we get a great story that take place partly on Htrae (Bizaro World). I also picked up the 1st Annual for the series which takes place on Earth 1, Earth 2 & Earth 3. In the issue we get to see the first outing of Earth 3's only hero: Alex Luthor, He also meets his future wife for the first time.
- I picked up the Justice League America annual for 1990. It features the one & only appearance of Justice League Antarctica. It was an enjoyable tale, not as funny as some had built it up to be.
I also picked up some Graphic Novels/Collected Editions:
- I also started with the America's Best Comics Primer, you get 6 issues from that imprint for 5 bucks! It was a nice overview which lead me to buy the first volume of Tom Strong, Volumes 1 & 2 of Top 10 & Top 10: The Forty Niners. I liked the all besides the Forty Niner book. I also liked the stuff in Tom Strong's Terrific Talesbook but I haven't found that so I didn't buy it.
- The other book I bought was Animal Man: Deus Ex Machina, an enjoyable set of stories. My favorite issue was the last issue, not a lot of action but lot's to think about. The other stuff I really enjoyed was the events in Arkham & in the Comic Book Limbo.
------------
Other Comics
- Atomic Robo: Robot built by Nikola Tesla for the Allies in WWII. Has a vague Hellboy fell to it but an enjoyable book none the less. AR is published by Red 5 comics.
- Assignment: Earth: The Star Trek spin off book from John Byrne. It reminds a bit of Doctor Who mixed with a some Men in Black elements.
Speaking of the good doctor, I've been picking up the Doctor Who comics that are being put out by IDW: not really like the modern Who comic, The Doctor Who: Classics book is quite enjoyable. I also like the first issue of Doctor Who: The Forgotten, the modern Who book was more like this I wouldn't be think about dropped that book.
-----
Lastly, I said that this was almost 3 months on comics. It has taken me almost an hour & a half to type this all out for you to enjoy.
And until next time: Stay Jazzy!

This is Entry 51: Fall TV Preview 2008
In fine MyBlog tradition It's almost been a month so I'm back with another entry that I'm shooting off into the Blog O'Sphere.
One year ago today (September 1st) I made an entry about the upcoming (2007) Fall TV season so this my entry about this (2008) up coming fall season. (The entry I reference is Entry 10). I'll be doing it much like that entry, dividing it up for by day & time.
Before we get started let's mourn for a few seconds about the untimely death of 2007 Television season due to the complications (i.e. The Writer's Strike).
OK! Moving on!
----------
Monday
8 pm: Chuck (NBC): one of the new series that I liked & am pleased to see it returning. The mini-series based off of the series is also quite good, if your a fan of the show I'd say pick it up.
Premiere: Sept. 29th
Back-Up Show: The Big Bang Theory (CBS): I have bow to the wisdom of Ryler32 that rebuffed my comment that this show would be cancelled & it wasn't. Which I am happy for, it's one of the few things that did make make it.

Back-Up Show: Two & a Half Men (CBS): An enjoyable comedy.

Premiere: October, but epsiodes from past seasons are already running.
Back-Up Guilty-maybe-I-shouldn't-be-watching-this-but-hey-hot-girls Show: One Tree Hill (The CW): It's not aimed at me (I'm neither a girl or a teen) but if you want a show where you can sit down & turn off your brain for yet other hour, watch this! Bonus: Hot Girls!

He finds his childhood sweatheart (who's a girl named Chuck), she's died so he brings her back but he can never touch her again or she'll be lost to him Forever!
Premiere: October 1st.
9 pm: Mythbusters (Discovery): The 2nd thing I watch on the network (Dirty Jobs being the other). Explosions are cool!
Premiere: I have November as a premire date but they are already showing new stuff.
Back-Up Show: America's Next Top Model (The CW): One of my guilty reality show pleasures.
Premiere: Sept. 3rd, starts at 8.
Let's take a moment to mourn the loss of the remake of Bionic Woman. I liked the show so did my Mom. But I didn't like the main BW, I liked her predecessor. The one play by Katee Sackhoff, she was interesting. She had a fleshed out character, she had back story, she was nuts! The main BW played by whoever was not as interesting. She might of become interesting if the series went on but we'll never know.
Thursday
8 pm: Smallville (The CW): Superman's early years. I have a Like/Dislike realtionship with this show. This year Lex is gone so someone is running Luthor Corp., Green Arrow is a regular cast member. I think is also gone & Kara is a only is few episodes. Also, Doomsday shows up somehow.
Premiere: Sept. 18th.
9 pm: The Office (NBC): One of the Best Mockumentries on TV!
Premiere: Sept 25th.
9:30 pm: 30 Rock (NBC): One of the better comedies on the air.
Premiere: Sept. 25th.
Back-Up Show: CSI (CBS).
Premiere: Oct. 9th.
10 pm: Tim Gunn's Guide to Style (Bravo): I have enjoyed him on Project Runway & he's getting his own show.
Premiere: Oct 2nd at 11pm.
Friday
8 pm: Crusoe (NBC): The classic book I've never read is turned into a series I might not watch!
Premiere: Oct. 17th
9 pm: Doctor Who (Sci-Fi): Good British Sci-Fi! (When it returns next year some time I most likely will be at this time slot.)
10 pm: Numb3rs (CBS): A smart cop show.
Premiere: Oct. 3rd.
?? pm: Batman: The Brave & The Bold (The Cartoon Network): From what little I see & read of the series. It looks to be taking a classic take of Batman (like 1950's Comics/Adam West 1960's TV Show) but some of the design are of current (not classic) characters, Blue Beetle being one.
Premiere: Nov. 14th (I don't have a time but it's mostly in their Friday Night prime time block)
Saturday
11 pm: MADtv (Fox): Sometimes better then it's competition, sometimes not.
Premiere: Sept. 13th
11:30 pm: Saturday Night Live (NBC): It's seen better times but maybe this season will be one of those?
Premiere: Sept. 13th.
Sunday
7 pm: America's Funniest Home Videos (ABC): Classic Long Running Clip show. Always good for a laugh.
Premiere: Oct. 5th.
8-10 pm: The Fox Cartoon block (The Simpsons, King of the Hill, American Dad & Family Guy): I do like me some cartoons.
Premiere: Sept. 28th.
10 pm: True Blood (HBO): Vampire can now live a some what normal existence thanks to a synthetic beverage called "Tru Blood" which means they need the real stuff & other things. I've seen some of the ad's for it (Vampires were people, too!) & I saw this Mockumentry about based in the Show's universe & that was pretty good. I'd give the show a try.
Premiere: Sept. 7th.
Other Stuff:
Ricky Gervais's stand-up special (HBO): The guy behind The Office before it crossed the pond. I've seen some of his stuff & I like british humor.
Premiere: Nov.
2 recommended Cartoons: Word Girl (PBS) and Phineas & Ferb (Disney Channel). WG is a educational show but the best part is the dancing by her monkey sidekick Captain Huggyface (yes, that's his name). With P&F has a great sense of humor, might be a bit to dry for most kids to get but it's one of the highlights of the show (another being Perry the Platypus).
2 Shows that are changing networks: Scrubs changes networks (from NBC to ABC) & they start Midseason. Project Runway changes networks (from Bravo to Lifetime, television for woman) & they start in Nov.
----------
I'll probably review these shows as I see them.
Until next time: Stay Jazzy!

One year ago today (September 1st) I made an entry about the upcoming (2007) Fall TV season so this my entry about this (2008) up coming fall season. (The entry I reference is Entry 10). I'll be doing it much like that entry, dividing it up for by day & time.
Before we get started let's mourn for a few seconds about the untimely death of 2007 Television season due to the complications (i.e. The Writer's Strike).
OK! Moving on!
Monday
8 pm: Chuck (NBC): one of the new series that I liked & am pleased to see it returning. The mini-series based off of the series is also quite good, if your a fan of the show I'd say pick it up.
Premiere: Sept. 29th
Back-Up Show: The Big Bang Theory (CBS): I have bow to the wisdom of Ryler32 that rebuffed my comment that this show would be cancelled & it wasn't. Which I am happy for, it's one of the few things that did make make it.
Premiere: Sept 22nd.
Back-Up Show #2: Dancing with the Stars (ABC): Something to watch with the Family. Well, I do some times. NOTE: Runs from 8 to 9:30.
Premiere: Sept. 22nd.
8:30 pm: How I Met your Mother (CBS): An enjoyable comedy.
Premiere: Sept. 22nd.
9:00 pm: Heroes (NBC): YaTah! One of the best shows out there is returning. (I know. I'm a big nerd but if you read this Blog you should know that already).
Premiere: Sept. 22nd with a clip show at 8.
Back-Up Show: Two & a Half Men (CBS): An enjoyable comedy.
Premiere: Sept. 22nd.
Back-Up Show #2: Dirty Jobs (Discovery): One of the two things I watch on the network. Makes me glad I don't have to do any of the things he regularly does.
Premiere: October, but epsiodes from past seasons are already running.
Back-Up Guilty-maybe-I-shouldn't-be-watching-this-but-hey-hot-girls Show: One Tree Hill (The CW): It's not aimed at me (I'm neither a girl or a teen) but if you want a show where you can sit down & turn off your brain for yet other hour, watch this! Bonus: Hot Girls!
Premiere: Yesterday. I saw most of the premiere & there are some crazy stuff that is going to go down on that show.
Tuesday
8 pm: NCIS (CBS): One of the more intresting "Cop" shows out there with a really well thought out cast of characters.
Premiere: Sept. 23rd
Back-Up Show: 90210 (The CW): I have vague remembrances of the original show so I'll check out it out to see if it worth watching or worth ignoring.
Premiere: TODAY! (Get it! 902010 premieres on 9/02).
9 pm: Privileged (The CW): from what I've heard/read it's a show about a New Yorker (played Joanna Garcia) who is emplyed by a rich family in California to help their celebutant daughters to get into College. Hilarity is sure to ensue (that's what the ad's show me).
Premiere: Sept. 9th.
Back-Up Show: Dancing with the Stars, the results show: Result to what you watched on Monday!
Premiere: Sept. 23rd.
Wednesday
8 pm: Pushing Daisies (ABC): The 3rd returning series I know that premiered last season. The shows premiss: A Private Invesitgator has a special power: One touch he can bring the dead back to life, another touch they die again & can't be reaised back again.

This is Entry 50: Anniversary!
We've hit the big 5-0!
What my original plan for this post was to post it on the 1 year anniversary of this blog. One slight hiccup in that plan: I had check on my first entry like a month or so ago & I thought it that I had made that post on August 9th. But, I looked at it yesterday & I made my first entry on the 7th, not the 9th. So, I've missed the date by 2 days. I guess I sort of celebrated it, the 3 dollar theater not far from my house (I referenced it in Entry 8) they have the IRON MAN currently playing so for 3 bucks I went to the movie with my dad. I enjoyed it a 2 time & my dad said it was a good movie. One of the better comic book movies he'd seen.
So, it's been a year (& 2 days) on this here Blog. I'd like to thank Scott Bryan, Ryler32, K.J., Joseph Gould, Jay Boaz, Stephen Crippen, Plotter & Kirk Boxleitner. Who are these people? They are the people who posted a reply. Well, Kirk didn't but he blog about this blog on his blog to which I blog about here (see Entry 18). I think this year I should attempt to get 10 people to reply!
Well, let's Stay Jazzy for another year shall we? Ok!
