INKSTAND

Does Garrett kick much ass for fixing Phil’s blog. Yes. Yes he does.

This is a strong beer that isn’t heavy and doesn’t have an overbearing flavor. It’s a 7.5% english pale ale. It was sweet and I could tell that it was going to induce a headache. It did, but it also got me buzzed.
Also, this picture does not do the bottle justice. In real life the neck looks much more like a butt plug.

Several times today I had to correct my coworkers because of the name and design of this product. They would say things like “They made a drink now?” and when I commented on the $1.69 price, my boss even said “You gotta pay for the brand.” No, Crayola, famous maker of crayons, did not make a juice drink. Crayons is a generic name for the waxy coloring stick. But now it’s a registered trademark for this juice company. The owner trademarked the word “crayon” under the food category twenty years ago.
How are they? I tried a pink lemonade and a fruit punch. I can’t say they tase any better than most other juices. The can boasts that the juice contains no high fructose corn syrup and yeah, I can tell the difference. I mean they tase different and are better than, say, Snapple lemonade or fruit punch.
I don’t think I got to get a real feel for the flavor of the juices because I had them out of an eight ounce can. They do produce a 12 oz plastic bottle. I think one would get a better idea of the tase of these beverages from one of those. I’ll have to hunt one down.
Other flavors include kiwi strawberry, mango orange, and watermelon and berries.

I was pretty disappointed when I started reading this issue. The cover shows Jonah Hex shooting at robots. As I flipped through I saw that, not only does he not shoot at robots, he has a team-up with (are you ready?)…Thomas Edison. So I was kinda like “grumble..lame..grumble.” But as I got through the issue it got funnier.
You know the famous Towlie episode of South Park? My favorite part about that episode is the singular-mindedness of the children. All these insane things are happening around them and they only care about their Gamesphere. The thing we hear them say the most is: “We don’t care!” That’s kind of how Jonah Hex reacts to the various plot developments going on in this otherwise boring story.

This guy, Aubrey Booth, hires Hex to retrieve a robot that he says Edison’s men stole from him. As Booth is explaining the significance of progress and how electricity will change the world as we know it, Hex urges him to get to the freaking point! He just wants to know his job and get paid! He hunts Edison down to his hidden city in the Rockies and confers with him. The same thing happens as Edison paints visions of the future and Hex expresses how little he is interested in all of it.

At one point I’m getting really bored with Edison prattling on about progress, then there’s an explosion. Hex seems as relieved as I was, saying “Finally, a sound ah recognize.” Then some men attack the place, we find out Booth was working for Nikola Tesla, Hex shoots them up, the end.

Like I said, lame story, but there was humor as Jonah Hex never broke character.

I know I haven’t been Bloggy McBloggerson latley, but I swear to you I will pick this shit up again soon. In the mean time, Tony and KC, regarding the Mad Oven Barbecue, I bring you…The Newstable!

This watercolor paper is much better than Academie. It does what watercolor paper should do.

This watercolor paper sucks. It gets wrinkled and the water soaks right through making it transparent. It puckers and the fibers get loose, not being able to withstand the moisture.

This may seem like an obvious statement, but work sucks. I wish I didn’t have to work tomorrow, I wish nobody had to work ever. Work gets in the way of so much living. argh.
