If you're new here, you may want to add some dickery to your feed reader by subscribing to my RSS feed. High five!

In this, the second part of Baddie Bookmarks, I share to you the websites that save me during idle time. Sites that entertain, inspire, and boggle my simple and frail mind. These sites keep me busy and smiling when the emo meter hits a critical juncture. These sites give me pleasure, and there’s nothing I like more than pleasure. Hedonists reprezent, yo!

The Onion. Before I discovered the joy of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report, I enjoyed the irreverent “news source” called The Onion. From dumb stories about America’s dumb leader, to quirky “human condition” tales of the local man, this is comedy gold for the thinking dickhead. Finest indeed.

Ever wonder what websites Baddie visits regularly? Which blogs are on his feed reader? Where he goes when there’s nothing else to do online? Assuming your answer is an eager “hell yeah!“, you’re in luck. I’m going to let you in on my web surfing habits in five parts. For the first installment of Baddie Bookmarks (I thought of the title all by myself), I’m going to tell you where I regularly get my news.

Digg. Where the comments of Diggers are usually more interesting than the news itself. I usually read the Science, Technology, and Offbeat News categories. I leave the rest of the categories alone. I’ve read a lot of very interesting “news” on Digg, and I’ve discovered a lot of cool websites as well. But there are times that it’s just irritating, especially when almost all news submissions are about a single topic like when the Wii was released, when James Kim went missing, and when Digg itself was plagued with controversy involving top Diggers allegedly gaming the system.

Last Friday, I suffered from LBM very early in the morning. It happens to me quite a lot and I often always go to work, hoping for the day to zip by like the Flash on a caffeine high. But my gums were swollen, thanks to these stupid braces. That, the LBM, plus the idea of going through 2 hours worth of traffic forced me to call in sick for the first time during my 4-month tenure in my job. The silver lining? I got to rest all day and fantasize about going home. At around 9 pm, I was feeling OK already, so I took off and flew to UPLB for the last night of the UPLB Fair 2007. Home.

I was smiling while driving all the way from Sta. Rosa to UPLB. Yes, I’m a nutjob, but one more reason for the crazy smile en route to a mountain was the fact that I was going to see faces I haven’t seen for several years already. Once I arrived, I went straight to the booth of my infamous academic organization, UPLB MASS. Seeing new faces in that booth and greeting old friends just made the rest of the world go away. I totally forgot that there was a stage right in front of us with Datu’s Tribe and other bands performing. I also missed the yUPieLBi.com AVP that they showed on the projector.

That’s one of the two AVPs. Here’s the other one. Good thing we have them on YouTube.

After more than 2 weeks since applying, Baddieverse has finally been accepted into the Blue Fish Network! Hooray for acceptance!

The 7-issue mini-series isn’t the most interesting thing about Marvel’s Civil War event. I think what happens after Civil War will be more entertaining and interesting than the event itself. The whole Marvel landscape will be radically changed, and the status quo will be a world of uncertainty, just the way I like it.

With Marvel’s May solicitations, I find myself impatiently craving for the arrival of the post-war stories. Heroes will mourn one of their own after the events of next week’s Civil War finale. New heroes will enter the neverending battle through the 50-state Initiative. A new Fantastic Four will come in the form of the Thing, the Human Torch, Storm, and the Black Panther. The Hulk will finally be on his journey towards home, presumably to kick everyone’s ass. Two Avengers teams kick it to high gear. Nova, after the events of Annihilation, will come back home to a completely changed world. Plus a whole lot more. And that’s just for May. It’s going to be a good time to be a Marvel fan after Civil War.
