Green Lantern Ch’p : Intergalactic Guardian Squirrel
Just watched Warner Bros/DC Green Lantern animated movie. And guess who should be in it? Good ole Ch’p, the Green Lantern of sector 1014.
Here are some images of him from the movie. As well as the Daffy Duck: Duck Dodgers cartoon that was on it.
Here’s a link to an illustration I made of Ch’p a while back.
iTunes Genius Rocks.
iTunes 9 Genius feature rocks. It was pretty good before, but the latest release puts together amazing mixes that blow any radio station DJ away. It also creates mixes bases on music genre automatically.
I’ve been using it so much I haven’t really tested if they improved shuffle.
Way to go Apple.

Wonder Woman 1942 interview w/ William Moulton Marston
Going through the Wonder Woman video tapes I’m selling on ebay, I started reading the backs on some. Here are some excerpts from a 1942 Family Circle interview with Wonder Woman creator Dr. William Moulton Marston.
Marston was asked if he thought man could ever stop waging war: “Oh yes, but not until women control men. Wonder Woman – and the trend toward male acceptance of female love power, which she represents, indicates that the first psychological step has actually been taken. Boys, young and old, satisfy their wish thoughts by reading comics. If they go crazy over Wonder Woman, it means they’re longing for a beautiful, exciting girl who is stronger than they are. These simple, highly imaginative picture stories satisfy longings that ordinary daily life thwarts and denies. Superman and the army of male comics characters who resemble him satisfy the simple desire to be stronger and more powerful than anybody else. Wonder Woman satisfies the subconscious, elaboratedly disguised desire of males to be mastered by a woman who loves them.”
In regards to Wonder Woman’s trade mark bracelets, Marston had this to say: “Wonder Woman and her sister Amazons have to wear heavy bracelets to remind them of what happens to a girl when she lets a man conquer her. The Amazons once surrendered to the charm of some handsom Greeks and what a mess they got themselves into. The Greeks put them in chains of the Hitler type, beat them, and made them work like horses in the fields. Aphrodite, goddess of love, finally freed these unhappy girls. But she laid down the rul that they must never surrender to a man for any reason. I know of no better advice to give modern women than this rule that Aphrodite gave the Amazon girls.”
April 4, 1984
The past and the future meet again. Odd coincidences and strange numbers align. George Orwell’s 1984 has been on my netflix instant que for weeks, why then should I pick today to watch it, the same date that the story begins with.
Why does it take 21 days to make or break a habit? 21 grams is supposedly lost from the body on death; the weight of the soul? In the tarot, The Universe is card 21. All this only has signifigance because of a nick name derived from an opposite. 21 half of 42; The Answer. Again these numbers may only hold meaning for me, but there is just too much in my head to simply dismiss it all.
Time Coalesces All.
It all just feels too unlikely to be coincidence. What if you are meant to be someone? But you don’t yet know who?
