Hello? Tap-tap-tap. Is this thing on?
Hi again! First things first: I’m back from my blogging hiatus. Some things happened and I just really needed to take a break. Plus, there was that whole thing about waking up in a monastery in Tibet and being tasked with saving the world from evil.
In all honesty, the world wasn’t in all that much peril (an evil organization was hoarding the world’s supply of red M&Ms), but when a couple dozen monks are begging you to save the world, can you really say ‘no?’
Well, I did, but then one of the monks said that his sister was single and he’d put in a good word, etcetera, yadda-yadda and I end up fighting a shark that’s been tied to a bear on top of a bus in Berlin. It didn’t make the papers, as apparently this is not unusual in Germany.
Anyway, long story short, the crisis was averted and the monk lied about having a sister. They did give me a gift-certificate to Borders for my troubles, but then, we know how that worked out.
And before you ask: we should have a date for updating soon. Leigh’s been working 12 and 14 hour days and just hasn’t had the time to get any pages done. It shouldn’t be too much longer and once we have a firm date, we’ll let you know.
I will be resuming my regular blogs, so check back to enjoy my semi-coherent ramblings about things that generally only happen in my head (at least, last I checked).
Anyway, Leigh and I did do the 2011 San Diego Comicon! We were joined by my brother Rick, who volunteered to come help us out. A head wound may have been involved. I did buy him pretzel dogs, so I guess we’re even.
NOTE: He did introduce me to cinnamon pretzels. I would have never guessed that combo would be so good. I literally had one every day and had to keep myself from getting more. I’m actually salivating right now, thinking about them.
We met a ton of people, sold some books, schmoozed, and pretended that we knew what we were doing. I shook Sergio Aragones’ hand and Joss Whedon walked by, but by the time I processed that it was him, he was gone. Leigh actually noticed him and pointed him out.
“Hey,” Leigh said. “There’s Joss Whedon.”
“Huh,” I said, after a moment. “I guess so.”
“You should go say ‘hi.’”
“I suppos–“ and then he was gone.
We also took a ton of pictures, many of which are up on our Facebook page.
So, to sum up: Blogs are back. Updates will be back soon. Red M&Ms now flow like water. And never trust a monk who tells you he has a hot sister.
Cheers,
Jason

Glad to have you back. Where do you in that Tibetan, oxygen starved, thing you claim as a mind, get the idea that your ramblings are semi-COHERENT? I will give the semi, but coherent? Nah. Why would you wish coherency for thoughts? Chaotic randomness is much more amusing.
Thanks for the update. I started reading a few weeks ago and am looking forward to more.
Geez those pics tend to lean toward attractive girls in skimpy outfits.
It's almost as if you've been stuck in a monastery or something.
BTW Bär und Haifisch is a popular German dish. It's served with pickled cabbage.
But it's easier to write semi-coherent than it is 'hallicinating from having snorted ground up Captain Crunch.' :)
Thanks Anon :)
In my (feeble) defense, Buzzcook, the ratio of costumed women was much higher than costumed men. And I wasn't the only one taking pictures. And . . . ummm . . there was a glare and I wasn't sure what I was taking a picture of . . .
Ah, forget it. Yeah, I like pretty girls ;)
