Whenever you see a weird non-obvious rule listed on an online form, it’s because some smartass did something crazy the year before. This year’s PCA/ACA submission guidelines specifically say:“Please do not use quotes, bold, all caps, or symbols or emojis in the title…” Uh, yeah, that one is definitely on me… (It was just a…
I’ve been too busy to write movie reviews lately. I’ve been seeing a bunch of movies, of course, but I only have so many hours in the day and most of my writing has been going towards either my dissertation, some upcoming academic conferences and publications I have, or the podcast. Even I can only…
No, I’m still not going back to making daily career change decisions… but every once in a while I still do have flights of whimsy… so with that, Today’s Wistful Career Change Decision: Lancer in a five man band of superheroes! You know how every superhero group is exactly the same? Especially in like the…
So a year ago I made a random offhand comment in a tweet that I wanted to play kickball and drink beer and who was in? It was one of those dumb random comments that I make because I’m dumb and random. Only my friend Margaret responded and after going back and forth a bit,…
Went outside for a cigarette. I’m standing on my porch and a car pulls up in front of my house very slowly with a couple in it. The window rolls down and female asks me “You don’t happen to have a daughter named ______ do you?” “Umm, no, but there’s a little girl with that…
If I stop to let you cross at a crosswalk, don’t wave me on. I get that you’re trying to be nice and courteous, but it’s not. I’m driving a 2 ton SUV. You’re on foot. You are at my mercy. I am not worried about you running over my truck. Thanks, -Love, Mav
Melodi Dushane (many thanks to my friend, and fellow Cosmic Hellcats artist, @JasonRBender, for this one… This is actually from 2010, but I never saw it before and seriously, this video made my day) Ok, so I’m not the guy who thinks TV rots your brain. TV is my friend. For…
In the quest to be 17, I decided to give running another try. Felt a little better out there this time, and don’t feel close to dead now that I’m back like I did last time. So I guess that’s something. But I’m still way slower than I want. Down to 13:51 min/mile (last time was…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isfn4OxCPQs Ok, I think a lot of my pro-wrestler friends will appreciate the video here. This would be “Dumbass Bully vs. Kid Cesaro. And your winner, Kid Cesaro.” But for everyone, really… what I don’t get is what exactly is going through Dumbass Bully’s head here? The video (and this article) reports the bully’s age…
So I am currently 3 weeks shy of my 40th birthday. I go through phases where I work out a lot and try to get into shape (P90X, hit my hand! hit my hand!… fuck you, Tony Horton!) and where I just get too stressed out to give a damn. I have shitty knees, with…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEUBEpuAMmc Wow… so cranky old people are right, TV *IS* a drug. Well, youtube is, anyway. Very very cool. Only they missed a prime opportunity here. Clearly their video should have been accompanied by Pink Floyd music. Seriously, I actually understand how this works, and it’s still pretty cool. Too bad it only last a few…
This is the default Wordpress post. I am leaving it here for testing purposes. But if you’re not me and if you see this post you might as well follow me on twitter: @chrismaverick. Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!
It’s been a long time since I actually put a blog post out here. I wonder if anyone is still paying attention. Only one way to find out. So anyway, one of the things that’s kept me away from the land of livejournal this last year is working on my comic strip. Cosmic Hellcats is…
7-12-09 Originally uploaded by chrismaverick. I originally intended to rant this here, and reference it on my 365mav project. But as I was typing there, I ended up pretty much doing the entire rant. But it really belongs in my blog here. And thus the crosspost.Welcome to Sexual Biology 101. I’m your instructor, Professor Maverick.So…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWQrY5vzy38 Gladstone Ruckus at the Pimp Plaza – Jammy Jam 2K6It’s that time again. Jammy Jam is nigh. Well, pretty nigh anyway. My birthday is August 1st, and since that’s a Saturday, I figure that I should actually have Jammy Jam on that day this year. The problem is I haven’t been planning it. Like…
