During our morning meeting at work:

Supervisor: Oh, and they're filming again in shark tunnel and backup so try to stay out of there for a couple hours.
Staff: *yawns*
Supervisor: Something for tv, some kind of Dirty Jobs--
Every Woman In The Breakroom: MIKE ROWE IS HERE? Omg where? How's my hair?
Supervisor: *alarmed now* What? Oh, no, it's the people from Channel 5. They're doing a segment about local dirty jobs.
The Girls: Wha? No Mike Rowe? *wibble face*
Me: Damn! We were so close!
Supervisor: Who's Mike Rowe now?

It's become something of a mission for me to get Dirty Jobs to come to the aquarium, though I have to admit a certain disturbance about how many of the staff thinks he's hot. We're running out of things that he hasn't done yet, but I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. (I wanna see him feed the shark rays so bad, and the otter biologists would be thrilled for him to come by.) We keep getting the runaround for for permission to submit any videos, though, which sucks major ass.

But... we shall prevail! Hopefully. ;)

Also, hi.

Visiting the comic book store for the first time in years has yielded some rather lovely fruit, including the Planetary back issues I'm missing and volume two of Powers. It's hard to break back into the mainstream continuous comics I was reading before I stopped, but I figure I'll eventually find a story break if I decide it's worth it.

I also picked up a couple Twisted Toyfare Theatre trade paperbacks. Sort of a prequel to Robot Chicken on Adult Swim, if you're unfamiliar with the title. And oh my god, are they hilarious. There's one particular strip that's just genius, and I enjoyed so much I had to scan them to share with the rest of the class. I think some of you will like them, given the ever-present LotR lovein on livejournal. Oh, and there's Gary Oldman, so what's not to like? *looks pointedly*

(My scanner's a little off and because of the crazyass binding on the trade a few of the strips are slanty, but the content more than makes up for any flaws. Obviously not dial-up friendly.)
