Ahh. Do you smell that? The smell of change. Of development. Of movement. And it’s all around me. And I love it with all my constantly-in-flux heart.
Several of my brethren in UPLB MASS are graduating in a few weeks’ time. A cause for celebration and intoxication, which will start next week when we’ll invade Ilocos for a good ol’ fashioned summer out-of-town beachfest. Road Trip!
Another cause for celebration is the end of my probationary period in my current job. Yes, ladies and gentlefreaks, I am now regularized. And with this change in my employment status comes a few more changes in responsibilities and nature of tasks. I can’t wait.
Finally, the recent transformation of my social life from “totally non-existent” to “Holy shit, what day is it?! I’m drunk again! Yeah!” is requiring me to cut back on my comic book consumption and focus more on accumulating loads of cash for my beer fund. Priorities, priorities.
It’s just so refreshing to see things moving again.
And with that sentimental crap over, I now present to you this week’s haul. SPOILERS blah blah.

In honor of the Fantastic Four‘s 45th anniversary (which was, like, two weeks ago I think), I’m dedicating this first edition of my new stupid series, Coverage, to them. This is where I’ll deface comic book covers for fun. Yeah, I don’t have a life so don’t be mean. You can laugh at me when I’m not looking. Anyhoo, here are four classic Fantastic Four covers, the first casualties of this dumb Coverage series. Enjoy.

Remember when I told you guys I’ll be publishing a Weekly Haul post every Sunday or Monday? Sure you don’t. But let’s pretend you regularly visit my blog and you remember what I’m talking about. OK. Well, it seems I bit off more than I can chew. Seeing that whenever I get drunk on a Friday night (or is it Saturday morning?), I spend the whole weekend recovering from a bitchin’ hangover. And I’m trying really hard to cut down on my comics buying spree every freakin’ week. Then there’s the matter of laziness while wondering if anyone’s interested in what I’m talking about, except for other comic book geeks. But I’m not doing this for the masses, am I? Am I? No. Err… no.
So with that lame excuse for a “late” blog post, let me go ahead and bore you some more with this week’s haul. Boring SPOILERS ahead!

When Superman “died”, everybody knew it was a marketing strategy. When Captain America “died” last week in the pages of Captain America #25, it was mostly seen as a social commentary. The death of a fictional character made headlines all over the U.S. and hundreds of bloggers gave their piece. Time to give mine. It’s so frakkin’ brilliant! I haven’t read the issue yet, but just the fact that they killed Captain freakin’ America makes me sit up and notice. We all know he’s going to come back eventually, but for now, the general public who don’t read comics lost a symbol of truth, justice, and the American Dream. The comics community, however, lost a beloved son. Rest in peace, Cap. *sniff*
On that mournful note, it’s time for my weekly haul! SPOILERS, yo!

After pulling my hair out with WordPress‘ export and import features (there might have been some issues with the export feature and my previous host, but I don’t give a shit anymore), I decided to get my hands dirty and move my blog to a new host by interfacing directly with the database. It wasn’t pretty, but I managed to make the move without losing data. I rule!
So from this moment on, ladies and freaks, bigbaddie.com is where it’s at. Not entirely sure what “it” is, but it’s here, ‘yo. So for you lovely souls linking to my old URL, I beg you to update your links with my new URL. I’ll owe you a cookie. And as for the new visitors of this attention whore blog, ‘sup?
