I met the creators of Turbo Kid at a screening of their new movie! I also got my Turbo Kid soundtrack signed by them. As soon as my best friend gets the pics online, I'll post them here.

Also, I'll be starting a new tattoo next weekend!

Cool. I could never decide on if I wanted a tattoo and of what. I always thought something like Boba Fett's Mythosaur emblem would be cool incorporated somehow, or even a GL emblem, but I'm sure lot's of people have things like that. Plus, I've watched enough Ink Master to be afraid the person I picked would eff it up, lol.

I've seen GL emblems, but hey, it's not like you're gonna run into tons of people with them unless you're at a huge comic con. Go for it! I think the Boba Fett emblem would be the cooler one of the two, though. It looks tough, like a cat with sunglasses, a bandana, and a vest.

Ugh, Ink Master. I want to like that show, but it's nothing but drama from the non-Navarro judges, which is weird and annoying. And the show makes tattoo disasters look common, because those people are doing elaborate designs under major time constraints, and half the time the people who want the tattoos want very specific, impossible things. Like, even the Count Vertigo shoulder piece I have was two sessions plus a short third touch-up (lot of black ink to fill in the costume, and not all if it took the first time). The one I'm getting this time - a dueling Lady Snowblood/Female Prisoner Scorpion design on my left shoulder - is probably going to take a similar amount of time, maybe a little longer. But that combination of marathon sessions with not enough time to do it right makes for mistakes. The show's designed to make mistakes happen. A lot of reality competitions are, but it's more forgivable when someone botches a dress on Project Runway than a tattoo.

I guess that makes sense. I just feel like getting only one tattoo would look weird like a mid-life crisis Corvette, and I'm not dedicated enough to get multiples.

I could understand that. Still think you should get that Boba Fett, though. Get it on your wrist and then brandish it at entrances to nondescript buildings. People will think you're part of a secret society!

I remember my parents taking me to see Police Academy 2, 3 & 4 in the theatre because I'm that old.

Honestly never heard of this movie. Is it worth checking out?
