Blog THIS, Pal: 2012 In Review

Yes, friends, you know me well enough that I do this almost every year - I randomly select a blog post from each month in the past year, and do a single post that serves as a "year in review".

You're more than welcome to explore the blog from this post, and no, there's no real reason why I have a link to this pulp comic book cover, except because it's a cool and I can't really find another appropriate graphic.

January - No bonus points offered if you discuss the sublime genius of Artemus Gordon, but please don't let that stop you

February - First, an important announcement - this past Tuesday, I submitted the last pages of a script for a comic

March - Some men buy sports cars, some men date much younger women - I start adapting open source software in a major way

April - In short, we're doomed to repeat history because we're ignoring it. 

May - Because I hate saying goodbye....but if I have to, I'm going to do it as slowly as possible.

June - Depending on who you ask, these Time Lords are either a race of omnipotent superbeings, a politically corrupt race of powermongers, or a bunch of aliens with *way* too much time on their hands.

July - I've had enough philosophy in college to really mess up my thinking, to paraphrase Steve Martin

August - Buy this book. It's the best philosophy-oriented comic on the stands right now, and it's much cheaper than a Jesuit education.

September - Various classic series fans will continue to complain that this isn't their Who...and they'll probably complain that this isn't their Who, either, which is a shame, because it's a damn good story.

October - If wanting her to become a series regular is wrong, I....just don't want to be right

November -  When the end comes, even though we "know" it was inevitable, there is a palpable sense of tragedy, with the feeling that these characters deserved much better than they received

December - In short, this is as close to pulp comic perfection as we're going to get, ladies and gentlemen.

But don't take my word for it - check out the archives. Please feel free to point out your favorite posts in 2012. At the very least, it will establish some high standards for this blog in 2013.
