Geez, where is everyone? I spend a couple days working hard on a garage sale, finally drag my bone-weary carcass back to the home office and find that NO ONE else is posting?! What’s going on?

Well, I’m going to ramble and talk about personal stuff. I don’t often do this, but why not?

First off, I’m getting ready for Wizard World. I’ll be there with artists Phil Meadows and Erik Burnham. This is going to be a weird convention. I’ve spent over half a year getting ready to talk to DC’s Dan DiDio again to request permission to submit to DC. Last time, November of 2003, I had the misfortune of learning that DC was relaunching the Metal Men in 2005, and that was the project I was planning to pitch if Dan said yes. Now it’s six months later, Metal Men are still on the project list, Firestorm is back, Adam Strange gets a book, and my lifelong dream writing project, Elongated Man, is now in ruins (as are a few dozen great stories I’ve dreamed up). In other words, next week I may very well get permission from Dan to submit to DC…but I have no frickin’ clue what I can pitch short of a Zoo Crew relaunch!

In other news, I have a new desk setup. I’m selling my old $1100 desk because it was just so huge. It took up too much room. This new digital dock system is just right and has opened up space for me to work. Anyone want to see a digital pic of the new desk?

The old desk is just one of many big furniture items that didn’t sell at my garage sale. But the good news is that we sold dozens and dozens of DVDs and old VHS tapes. (Not a single one of my MST3K video tapes were bought, oddly enough, so look for those soon on eBay.)

Oh, and I need to find a CD clock radio with a digital radio tuner to replace the old cassette clock radio I sold today. Here’s what I’ve found on Amazon. Which one do you guys think I should buy?
