I know everyone's hearts are atwitter over Frank Miller and Jim Lee doing All Star Batman and Robin (or they're posers trying to make a name for themselves by sneering at it) And it's got my interest, don't get me wrong, but word from Steve Englehart is he's teaming up again with Marshall Rogers and Terry Austin to do more Batman stories. As he recently e-mailed:
"DC will issue a 6-issue series (biweekly) called DARK DETECTIVE. It features the long (really long-) awaited return of Silver St Cloud, and the Joker, with first appearances (by us) of Two-Face, the Scarecrow, and, uh, Dr Double X. (The Scarecrow's in the movie, too, but we did our own take on him in our story.) Silver's moved on, and the last thing she wants to do is meet Bruce Wayne again, but fate, you know... And the Joker is running for governor with a simple slogan: 'Vote for me or I'll kill you.' "

Received word from the homefront just after leaving work today that the power company restored power. Stopped off at the local DVD store to pick up "House of Flying Daggers" and getting ready for a fun weekend to make up for the crap of this week, and the post-holiday blues.

Well, made it to number 300. And it was a year ago today that I started all this.
I was going to ask you to nominate me for the Best of Blog Awards, but apparently the nominating is closed. Doh!

Had an ice storm in our neck of the woods Wednesday and have been without power since then. Latest word is it might not be back on until tonight, maybe tomorrow, possibly early next week?
Fortunately, my dad got one of his generators working and since we're the only house without heat, got hooked up for a few hours last night. Got nice and warm, but boy, it got cold real fast. Made getting up for work real fun. And we still have water, even hot water, and we even have some in our basement. Oh joy!
