Last night, I ditched the 2nd episode of Heroes on RPN 9 for 2 bottles of Red Horse in UPLB. Good deal.

This entry is part 5 of 12 in the series Weekly Haul

r.i.p. captain america

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!

new home

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?

Just in case you missed it, let me repeat it for you: 100% completely FREE software. A sleek, handy, and generally easy-to-use software designed with serious comics collectors in mind.

Imaginary Dude: Dude, what in the name of yucky happened to your hand?!

Baddie Dude: Los Baños.

ID: Excuse me?

BD: I was again at the mercy of the enchanted land where the trees keep your secrets, the breeze chips away the barnacles of your despair, and the beer flows free. Where the mind is distracted by cheerful noise. Where the soul is fed with moonlight and bitter nectar. Where the heart is broken, mended, strengthened, and broken again. Where time stands still and space seems endless. Where family doesn’t require blood. A simple burn from a dying cigarette will do.
