Ah… Voltron… a much better toy than a cartoon as I learned when trying to watch old episodes a year or two back. So, don’t waste your money on the DVDs, just get the toy and continue assuming the show was as good as you remembered it to be.

By the way, my favorite bit in the product listing is “1:197 scale replica.” You know, because Voltron is real and is one hundred ninety seven feet tall.

I just had a bit of divine misfortune of my own, with a bill over $700 at the auto shop. One of the perils of keeping an older car that’s paid off, I suppose. The best (only not bad?) part was that I got to finish Divine Misfortune from A. Lee Martinez. In an alternate present where all of the old gods are still around and running amok on earth, a couple is foolish enough to select a god to follow with a millenniums old feud with a god of chaos and death. Mr. Martinez has a great sense of humor and I’m looking forward to picking up the rest of his work.

This is in stark contrast to Chuck Palahniuk‘s latest, Tell All. I think I finally have to admit I’m not a fan of his work. He has some brilliant ideas, but they all read like nails on a chalkboard. I suffered through about 100 pages and surrendered. Sorry, Chuck.
