[...consumed anew #81 - 82] Eclipso Annuals, pt 1

April 7th, 2009 Graig

I’ve gotten so annoyed with Fleming’s hyper-exposition that I’ve decided to give the remainder of the Eclipso regular series (#14 - 18) a pass for now, and instead have a look at the annuals that crossed over with “The Darkness Within” (see “anew #69″), actually hoping to see a dozen or so books that stand on their own, taking the idea of a body-snatching malevolent demon and seeing how different writers work with it, free from the confines of an ongoing series. Well, didn’t quite work that way.

Full Read: Robin Annual #1
Skim: Superman: Man of Steel Annual #1, Superman Annual #4, Justice League America Annual #6

[...learned #6] anew

January 6th, 2009 Graig

“Anew” means pretty much the same thing as “Again”. I started having my suspicions a couple days ago but confirmed it today. I’ve updated the posts and the category to read as the clunkier “Consumed All New” instead of the much catchier “Consumed Anew”. But I prefer “Anew” to “Again” anyway so now “Consumed Again” is “Consumed Anew”. Clear? Better to learn this now than 364 posts in I say.

New Blog.Woo

December 31st, 2008 Graig

I’m back.
You know you missed me.
After an emergency blogectomy things aren’t feeling very natural yet, but we’ll be establishing the new normalicy and returning some of the old favourites round here soon-ish.
But I guess you’re wondering what “geekent’s 365 things” is. Or maybe not.
But I’ll tell you.
This is a little bit of getting to know me, and also a bit of getting to know myself, as well as having a little fun. It’s about blogging, daily, but not having to overextend myself. It’s about content and quality and something meaningful without being burdensome. It won’t necessarily be pretty, or funny, but hopefully, if it’s anything, it’s structured.

I’ll have five categories:
[...about me] - which will eventually bring you 365 little known (or widely known) “facts” or stories about me
[...learned] - this is about embracing and sharing knowledge, or just doing/trying new things
[...I ate] - not really sure why I’m doing this, but I thought it’d be interesting to see if I could catalog 365 different foods to eat in a year
[...I consumed anew] - not-quite-reviews of books, comics, movies, television, music, theatre and the sort which were new to my eyes and ears in 2009
[...I consumed again] - more not-quite-re-reviews of books, comics, movies, etc… which I’m enjoying for at least a second time.

I intend to do all the above daily, perhaps not all at once, but this should mean, essentially 1825 posts in one year [5x365] which is borderline crazy when you put it that way.

But I may just have a lot of time on my hands, or none at all. It’s an experiment, hopefully, and not a burden.

Happy new year.
See you in 2009 (6:45 and counting)
