Re: Guilty pleasures....

I have to agree on Star Trek. I'm guilty of attending several Trekkie conventions and actually dressing for them. Have friends that organized the "Klingon" Security group to protect the actors and the fan artifacts (inside people that know what is valuable compared to the average security guard who could care less if you walk out with a certain comic or two).

Also Science Fiction conventions (met Asimov, Anderson, GR Dickson, AEvanVogt, and many others). Also won "most beautiful" award for costumes at one: skin tight green outfit to portray a seafarin world denizen. Sorry, no pictures.

Being alone.

and certainly this site, no question, no doubts, my family all (well except one who has been sucked into the vortex) wonder why I spend so much time on it.

Chocolate ice cream (without sprinkles, hate them) especially now that my cancer diet means absolutely NO sugar.

Coffee.

Enjoy.

Re: Comic Books

Hi Granny Magda

For me, it has to be the comic books. I've read them off and on since I was a kid.

Anyone for net comixs?

One of my favorites is Girl Genius by Phil & Dixie Folgio (also known to sci-fi art fen)

Start here:
Girl Genius

Updates 3 times per week.

Enjoy.

Re: Comic Books

On a related note, I have you to thank for turning me onto the excellent and much missed Cectic comic strips. Great stuff.

Yeah what's up with that? No notice or anything just the same strip left up (it's on my "sunday" list of comix). Did the robot get him?

Try this one:

Calamities of Nature: Archive

Enjoy.

Re: Comic Books

Hi Huntard,

Check them out at: Looking For Group - The Webcomic (updates on mondays and thursdays)

And I was wondering what to do on a rainy saturday ...

See what you think of

http://sorcery101.net/d/20050512.html
and
Gunnerkrigg Court - By Tom Siddell

It's interesting to see a strip grow, and the art changes. A friend of mine contributes to

Sucuri WebSite Firewall - Access Denied

My other not so secret pleasure is sudoku (thanks Rrhain)

You can set your level, and see how you do compared to others.

I also use them to gauge the effect of chemotherapy on my cognitive abilities (logic, attention span and concentration), and can see marked differences. It's a condition called "chemobrain" in the literature, and effects range from person to person, from temporary to permanent. It is somewhat disturbing to find how unaware one can be of the differences without such benchmarks. Kind of like seeing how the other half of the human race lives, and just trust that the effects are not cumulative or with some permanent loss.

So I'll take my "guilty pleasures" and enjoy them for all they are worth.

Enjoy.
