The Sixth Planet

I am making a banner and I need another character to include. If you have an idea just post.

I have some ideas but it is really hard to find good pics of these characters especially since some are book characters. So alternatively if you have a secret source of pics or easily navigable screen caps let me know.

Characters I want to find pics of but haven't had much luck.
-Jaina Solo
-Mara Jade
-Sarah Corvus (from Bionic Woman)

If you can't tell it's kind of a badass female character theme. :)

So we have several kids that come to my store with their parents. One of my employees also babysits one of said kids. While they were at my store waiting for the kids parents to meet there and pick her up they got bored and this is what happened...

ROBO-ROBIN, PREPARE TO BE ANNIHILATED!!! (They got her to say that to the people at the hair salon next door)

So the Olympics are on at my store and we all heard the announcer say "He exploded off the block!" about a swimmer. Why did multiple people in the store laugh and immediately think of a guy actually exploding on the block. :)

Oh and I made some icons from a couple of comics that we looked at today.



ETA 1: OH. MY. GOD. The gymnast that was just on the horse just popped wood after doing gymnastics. He must really like gymnastics.

ETA 2: Two words...Misty Hymen.

ETA 3: I wonder if the Chinese athletes that get disqualified and stuff get executed?

ETA 4: When is Olympic LARPing or Olympic Dice Rolling?

ETA 5: [thick russian accent] In Mother Russia the apparatus mounts you.

This movie is finally coming out on DVD next month so if you want one be sure to reserve it. But what I need from you guys is to find out if anybody has a projector we can use at the store for a couple nights. I want to show the movie at the store and it would be cool if we could project it on the wall. Either way I plan to show it but it would be cooler if it was big enough that everybody could see.

The guys that made it have the first Gamers film on YouTube as well as trailers and other stuff. It's great stuff for anybody that's ever done any roleplaying and it's still pretty funny of you haven't. :)

I'm a little late to the party but I just finished watching the NCIS s5 finale...

I just wanted to let people know that Supernatural Rising Son #1 came out today. It's new and improved with better canonical story and nicer art. So order away. :) Plus I put some other noteworthy things that came out recently. That means they're in stock and ready to go.

I'd like to think that one or two of my online friends have noticed my distinct absence recently. I've talked to some of you about this but it kind of all starts with this...

My friend of 4 years and second-in-command of my business, Jason passed away on February 28th. This was the only person that really understood what my stores were all about. He literally ran my second store. And we were about 2 days away from going into business together to open a third store.

All that is really secondary to the loss of my friend. I got the call Thursday around noon. His brother called to give me the terrible news that Jason, his fiancee Theresa and his brother Josh lost their lives in a house fire. How does that happen? I mean nobody dies in a house fire caused by a malfunctioning clothes dryer. I looked it up...there are only 15 deaths a year attributed to dryers. Why the fuck did 3 of them have to be so important to me. Jason's room was over the garage and the dryer was located under the stairs. His father and his brother Josh made it out but when Josh realized Jason and Theresa were still in there. Josh rushed back in to save them but fate wasn't going to have it that way. They were trapped in the room. The stairs blocked by fire and the only window blocked by an AC unit that they couldn't get past. Jason was only 25. And he was one of the greatest people I know. He never seemed to be in a bad mood, he could always make you laugh. He just had this special geek charisma. I kept hoping it was some cruel joke and then I kept wondering why it couldn't have been someone that deserved it.

I don't think I've cried this much in my entire adult life. I'm usually Mr Bottled-Up-Emotions but not this time. It was too much and I knew it would be an insult to Jason if I didn't let me feelings show. And how do I deal with the guilt. We were friends but I ran my Portsmouth store and he ran my Virginia Beach store so we really didn't hang out much. I feel like I should have done more with him. We did talk practically every day whether it be phone, IM, or e-mail. Sometimes about store stuff, sometimes about how awesome Supernatural was and sometimes about total nonsense. And the double whammy is that not only did I lose a friend but I lost my best employee. So not only do I have to deal with my personal grief but I also have to run both stores. He passed away on Thursday and I had to work Friday, Saturday, Sunday and then work Monday, go to the viewing on Monday, funeral on Tuesday and work Tuesday night.

At the viewing I met his parents for the first time. It's not how I would have wanted that first meeting to be. There were about 50 people just from my stores that came to pay their respects to Jason and his brother. His parents were a bit surprised but when my wife and I got up there and they found out I owned the store his Dad got up and hugged me and started crying. They told me he loved that store. And that's when I realized I'd lost the only person that cared as much about my stores as I did. Maybe even more. And I didn't even know his parents. Next week sometime I'm, going to give them a call and meet with them under better circumstances. I can only imagine if I had to bury two of my kids. It's just not right.

And all I do when I get off work is sleep or do mindless things. And everytime I think I'm past it all I catch myself saying things like 'Jason that at the other store' and I feel bad that I forgot he's gone. I really don't know where I'm going with this other than just trying get it off my chest. I'd like to think that things will get better but until they do you'll just have to deal with emo-Steve.

I got this spam message today and just thought it was too weird to not share. Well...hopefully it's spam. If I turn up dead soon then please avenge me.

So a friend of mine from way back in the day were talking. He's trying to start a game company with a few of his friends out in California. This was my best friend in high school and we practically grew up together. It's his fault I got into comic books too. lol. So we e-mail back and forth every so often and he asked me if I would help him come up with a logo or something for there company since I was always the more artistic one of us. So I came up with these and I just like them so much that I wanted to share my genius with all of you. :)
