I've read the early edition of the Sunday paper with the sales ads. I've confirmed the Wii sales mentioned here for Target and Best Buy, also they have an ad in USA Weekend for Wal-Mart mentioning they have it for sale. I'm having to pass on it for now, alas, as I'm planning for the Tuesday debut of Grand Theft Auto IV. If you've been waiting to get a new system for this game's release, some stores are offering a $50 gift card if you buy the game and a game system (X Box 360: Best Buy and K-Mart) or a Playstation 3 (K-Mart). You might click on the link to go to the threads for the Sunday ads for Target, Circuit City, and Best Buy for more info. And Fry's is offering the game guide for $5 if you buy the game from them. Anybody else know of any other deals for these games and systems?

With Pennsylvania having their primary election on Tuesday, the eyes are turning on the next states up on May 6th, of which I'm in one of them. And sure enough, on Wednesday I got a flyer in the mail from Hillary. I don't whether to throw it out, or save it, since it's the first one I've gotten from a Presidential candidate. I could show it to kids years down the line: "there was a time when Indiana mattered in the primaries, and the candidates actually campaigned for our vote."

I was used to a bi-weekly schedule for getting my comics. Then I realized today that there's one more Wednesday in this month, so I've gotta wait until next week for my next batch of comics. Crud. I'm behind in my reading, but there's something about getting new books to read.

Apparently a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV leaked out ahead of the official release in the US Tuesday. Bad enough that people downloaded it, but their achievements are showing up on X Box Live.

We've got less than a couple of weeks until Free Comic Book Day. And I'm hoping to get most of the selections. It's a slam dunk for comics fans, but how is it at drawing new people in? This thread on Tony Isabella's board touches on some of the problems, mainly that it isn't really drawing in a new audience, and the selections and execution is starting to reflect that.

This was a film that was shown for a week at the northside arthouse theatre complex, but was difficult to schedule a viewing. Then Starz, as part of their Pixar marathon, premiered The Pixar Story last night. It was a nice overview of the history of the company, telling the story of the company and some of the people involved, especially John Lassiter. The film was by Leslie Iwerks, related to Ub Iwerks, who was instrumental in the development of Mickey Mouse. Worth seeing if you get a chance, especially for the behind the scenes stuff like the test footage of Woody they synced up to one of Tom Hanks' scenes in Turner and Hooch.
