I Me Mine, I Me Mine, I Me Mine

...I decided to dig up Mike Russell's CulturePulp strip where he watched behind-the-scenes goings-on at Cirque du Soleil.

His strip is about the Varekai show that swung through Portland two years ago. The show I'm seeing next Sunday is Corteo.

Slight annoyance: I have no watch handy.

First my newest watch -- an actual pocketwatch -- lost power. (Answering the question Mom's gonna ask: Yes, it has a battery and is not a wind-up.) And sometime over the weekend, my backup watch -- which is almost nothing but the watch face, as the band got shredded and trimmed long ago -- has gone missing.

I'll ask where I bought it, because I have no way of determining where the battery is in it. Meanwhile, I'm surprisingly missing having a watch.

Because I had a chance to look it up, here's the webpage for Stumptown Comics Fest, coming up April 26th-27th.

Special guests will include Brian Michael Bendis, Dark Horse Comics' Mike Richardson, and Scott McCloud (!).

Found by curt_holman: imagine if Star Wars came out in the early Sixties and Saul Bass did the opening credits:



Slight irregularities to it: I noticed a Return of the Jedi character, and someone in the YouTube comments pointed out that it would've been neat if John Williams had been credited as his Sixties self Johnny Williams -- but for me, the amusement overcomes 'em!
