another angle of my first camp. i built that fire without a match, with nothing but the glowing embers that the previous occupant had foolishly not put out. /flex -

my very first camp. hunt’s cedar river campground. it was kinda lame, since it was maybe 100 yds off of i-80. but at least there was a river. you can kinda see it in the background. -

the mississippi river, as seen from davenport, iowa. that riverboat thing to the right is a casino. -

day 1 - the university of illinois. i was driving right past urbana/champaign so i stopped here for lunch. this was a pimp looking statue/building right on the corner of campus -
in darkest day, in blackest night, neither rain, nor snow, nor heat...
The nerdtastically amazing fact that the US Postal Service has released a set of DC Comics super-heroes postage stamps has me giddy with glee. I feel ridiculously secure knowing that my first rent check for graduate housing will be escorted to Idaho by none other than Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern of Sector 2814!

hump day
It’s Wednesday! That means it’s time for comic book reviews!!
- JSA Classified \#9. Jay Garrick is forced to kill a man to save the JSA! Now that's a wacky good comic book story. Don Kramer's art is perfect for this title, although I don't think Champagne's inks quite did him justice this issue.
- Action Comics \#836. The Krypton of Earth-2's universe, John Byrne's Krypton, and Mark Waid's Krypton side-by-side? Superman names himself, not Lois? Supes and Batman blackmail Luthor? Doomsday doesn't really live up to his name? Dr. Light is sent to the Phantom Zone? Jimmy Olsen in a purple leotard? OMGWTF. Adventures \#649 better have some answers next week or my head will explode.
- Justice \#4. Quite frankly, if this comic book was nothing but Lex Luthor and Sinestro trading pie recipes, I'd still buy it just to drool over the Alex Ross art. Basically, the entire issue is just one big cliffhanger. Lex and friends have taken over, and our favorite heroes are all royally screwed one way or another. Definitely has me waiting to see what'll happen next.
All in all, a great week. Keep it up, DC!
