Jackie Johnson interview (post for my favorite reader)

Posted: 15 Jul 2008 10:39 PM CDT

My wife and I try to catch the weather forecast before bed, usually from Jackie Johnson on KCAL 9. My wife often comments on her belts and she's not the only one to notice. Here's part of an interview from a blog called Soup Cans, which scored an interview with Jackie:
We're obsessed with the outfits you wear each night during your broadcasts, mostly your impressive collection of belts. Where do you like to shop in LA?

Thank you very much! I am very flattered! I have seen your "Jackie Johnson Fashion Watch" and have to admit a few times before getting ready for work I thought to myself "What would Soup Cans say?"

The wonderful thing about LA is there are so many places to shop! I wish I had one particular store, that would make it much easier. I enjoy being outdoors so my favorite shopping is walking down Melrose/Robertson and in Santa Monica. Oh, and my friend also sells clothes so I am able to get great deals, thank goodness!

And yes, I do wear a lot of belts...my mom always told me they make the outfit look "finished."

If you're not from LA, here's Jackie in action:

Charming, animated video for the Mitsubishi Lancer

A young boy is frightened as his parents drive through a forest haunted by monsters, until that is, he remembers he's in a Lancer, and it's the monsters that should be afraid:

Right now Warner Bros. executives should be wondering exactly how and why Spike Jonze managed to botch the Where The Wild Things Are movie.

Memo to Joss Whedon

If you're going to unveil a new show (Doctor Horrible) on the internet, then you should try harder to make sure the first minute doesn't suck.

Augie De Blieck Jr. predicts $3.50 for a typical comic book soon

Posted: 15 Jul 2008 09:49 PM CDT

Ridiculous. I grew up with 75 cent comics. For $5 you could buy an afternoon's worth of reading. Now, that'd buy about 20 minutes.

I'd much prefer a return to cheaper comics printed on cheaper paper. Prices are so high nowadays, I almost never experiment with new comics and almost always wait to buy trade paperbacks at a discount on Amazon.
