I knew there was something missing from my life . . . now that void is filled.

Friend of the show Bavarian Erin has an awesome blog about all of her interests, and as a San Diego ComicCon attendee, she always has wonderful blogs about the going ons you might have missed from most of the news coming out of the West Coast shindig.

Check this blog post for looks at the Walking Dead booth, Art Baltazar, weird props and Charlie Saxton!

The Geek’s Grimoire is a blog run by a buddy of the show. Check it out by clicking on the banner above. And here is a sample of some of the geekery you should come to expect below:

It all started in a department store.

Pittsburgh, some time in the early 1980s

My brother and I have arrived at (probably) K-Mart. Both of us have fresh allowance money in our pocket, so we head directly to our favorite part of the store: the toy department.

Within moments, we’re in the action figures aisle, searching for the Star Wars figures. Unfortunately, Star Wars is already falling out of favor, and the only action figures that we can find already exist in our collection at home. As awesome as Darth Vader is, we really don’t need a third one.

Immediately adjacent to the Star Wars figures, something new and interesting has appeared. These newcomers are military action figures. They’re a bit different from our usual sci-fi toys, but they are about the same size, so they’ll fit in with our existing armies. After a little deliberation, we each select a toy and head for the checkout.

Little did we know, our young lives had just changed.

Present day

So, what was that pivotal purchase?

Over the next decade, my brother and I would invest a large quantity of our allowance in GI Joe action figures, vehicles, and even the occasional comic book. When the TV show surfaced, we immediately became devoted fans, and our backyard was filled with cries of “Yo Joe!”

My love for GI Joe faded into the fog of memory for quite a while, just as Star Wars had, until the Cartoon Network produced GI Joe Resolute. The cartoon that I had grown up with had grown up as well, and it was good.

Today, I’ve returned to the GI Joe universe. I’m a regular reader of several ongoing GI Joe comic books, I’ve got a handful of GI Joe action figures on my desk, and I’m re-reading the original Marvel Comics series. All because K-Mart was out of new Star Wars figures way back when.

I wonder how different life might have been if they’d had Zuckuss in stock…

Okay, so this has been out there awhile, and I saw it a couple weeks back . . . but I think about it often, and I just have to share the creepiness of it to maybe get it out of my head. Seriously, do yourself a favor if you love weird or creepy things and watch this all the way through.

I’m sick and its past my bedtime, but I cannot stop laughing out loud (yes, actually LOLing) at this blog I just found.

The posts exactly describe the predicaments of life with terse wit and hilarious MSPaint illustrations!

Sneaky Hate Spiral: “Sneaky hate spirals begin simply enough. In fact, that is one of the hallmarks of sneaky hate spirals – they are merely the confluence of many unremarkable annoyances…”

World’s Best Relationship Tips: “Another problem in many relationships is that women feel like they have to do all the boring chores and the men just get to go out and ride around on dirt bikes and throw pies at each other.”

This is Why I’ll Never Be an Adult: “…a few times a year, I spontaneously decide that I’m ready to be a real adult. … I sit myself down and tell myself how I’m going to start cleaning the house every day and paying my bills on time and replying to emails before my inbox reaches quadruple digits. Schedules are drafted. Day-planners are purchased. … I prepare for my new life as an adult like some people prepare for the apocalypse.”

A friend of the show and fellow geek/dork/hardcore homeboy, Brian Lyons (not the Brian we always mention on the show, this one is MUCH MUCH classier) has started up a pretty good blog detailing all aspects of his geekier side! Look for games, comic books, movies and if I get my wish, Huey Lewis and the News tributes to be featured on the site!

There is something magical about the lazy susan he takes photos of his comics/other keen stuff on . . . the wood grain pulls you in, almost hypnotizing you into reading on! I really looks forward to hearing him talk about the graphic novel “45″ (hint hint).

Also, if you can, I highly suggest following it RSS style or now off to the right side is an option to “follow” his blog with one of your social accounts. Not sure if we will add this to our site or not, but it is a great way to keep track and up to date on all the sites you follow that feature this option.
