A somber spring day.
Found out that a guy from another TV station was found dead this morning. The coroner's haven't told anyone the cause or anything yet - although it seems like he passed away in his sleep. He was around 45, and was probably one of the nicest and most well respected people around. I saw him a few weeks ago at the all-station karaoke battle, and he was really cool, as always. I've only met him like a half-dozen times, but it's sad to think that no one will ever talk to him again.

File under: WTF?
Hasser gave me a link to some robot toy collector forum. Go there and check it out - it's like dropping in on some creepy robot fetishists talking about wanking off to robot porn.

I must find The Chosen One.

For those of you who know me, you may have heard me talk about "Neo" - he's a guy who shows up at Excalibur comics every Wednesday when the new comics hit the shelves - with all the other geeks (and me). Every time I describe him, he sounds worse, but here goes: He's a nerdy, acne scarred dude who wears the "pseudo-Asian-man-dress" from The Matrix. I know it's from the Matrix because NO ONE HAS EVER WORN ONE BEFORE THE MATRIX. Anyway, he peruses the new comics while holding his thumbs and index fingers together like Mr. Spock or Morpheus when they're lost in deep thought - and he stands with his legs apart, in a wide tai-chi stance, channeling eastern philosophy and looking for the latest issue of Catwoman. The worst part: Neo wears blue JEANS with his Neo outfit. Fucking blue jeans? C'mon, Neo, you got the man dress. Get some slacks.

Today, I will get his photo in the comic book store. I've tried for the last few weeks, but my attempts have always been foiled. I wish I could think of something cool to say about it like Morpheus, but I'll just end with: I'm taking my digital camera, wish me luck.
