Since daylight savings time stole an hour off of my birthday, I feel that I don't have to count the extra year it added to my age. I think it's only fair.

Has anything exciting been happening for anyone? Read any good books/comics lately? Is that Ultron event Marvel is putting out any good, and more importantly is the Vision in it?

As every year, I try not to think about mine, so I keep forgeting yours till is too late...
Hope you had a great day in any case!!! I am getting better with this BD things lately, and don´t hate it as much...I guess I have surrended....and the present thingy is not that bad neither...

I am still trying that Vision come back from limbo

Don´t know if he is in teh Ultron thing, but hasn´t been in the NOW comics (to my knowledge)
A bit of everything
Comics: Only Uncanny Advengers...Not really liking this one by now...
Books: a spanish author take about Ghosts as Purgatory spirits that want to go to heaven..real haunting houses with famous people telling their tales..,. funny and really scary
TV: arrow (fun), once upon a time (really fun) Beauty and the beast (only for girls I think, and not very good but great couple). Criminal Minds and Dexter...used to be favorites of mine...not feeling like it lately. Less blooddy with the years
Cinema:ummmm.....not lately

... So this year's didn't seem to be nearly as big of a deal. I managed it all right, for an old guy.

I did read a recent Avengers Annual that was available digitally that centered on the Vision. He quit the team, needing to get over the feelings of being betrayed after getting ripped in half and then the rest of the team leaving him crated up for so long. It wasn't so much that he resented the Avengers as he seemed upset that he'd stay simply out of having nowhere else to go. It ended with him introducing himself to his "sons" in the Young Avengers. Generally, I liked it.

That was really the first Marvel comic I've read since "Dead Avengers", which I did enjoy. I heard once upon a time that Vizh was going to play a role in that Ultron event, but I've seen no evidence of him in artwork or solicitations so far.

I have, of course, been reading the "My Little Pony" comic. Good stuff. I like that we live in an era where ponies reference "Evil Dead 2" in officially licensed works.

Speaking of Evil Dead and Avengers influences, I do recommend people check out the Joss Whedon written-and-produced "Cabin in the Woods". Lisa and I watched that recently, and the last act especially is great fun.

I also finally saw "The Dark Knight Rises". A while back I posted about my nightmare experience of being an extra on the set of that while filming, even though I was never placed in a shot. Well, none of the footage of the extras that day made it into the final film anyway. I did, however, see the street corner and knew I was standing right behind the wall there. Not much of a thrill. Truthfully, I didn't like the final film all that much anyway.

Hope you had a good one.
