Oh no del Toro!

Normally I avoid most things MTV but noticed this comment about a potential Hellboy III movie from Mike Mignola and felt compelled, reluctantly, to share:

[re: del Toro's Hellboy III] "My Hellboy is not going to have kids,” continued Mignola. “My Hellboy is going to die, but I want to be the one who does that. And if del Toro does my ending, there won’t be a lot of surprise when I get to the end of the comic.”

Normally, I think Guillermo del Toro's talented, imaginative, and over-all rad (c'mon, you know that movie was awesome), but if he were to give Hellboy some kids, I may have to boycott his work henceforth.

But if you are into the whole Hellboy/infant thing, than this might be for you:

Okay, so this is actually from January of this year, but I just saw it and thought it was pretty awesome, so I'll pass it along to all the rest of teh internets lollygaggers like myself who are a little slower but have some fascination with both fashion, samurai, and absurdity. I would like to share with you the Coco Chanel Samurai Yoroi set:



Maybe some high fashion armor for Usagi Yojimbo?

Libraries!!!

Thanks Nedroid!

Ah the games of my youth...

Saw this over at 8bitlibrary.com and was deeply impressed! Cho sugeii!

spelling bees and indie lit--together? Yes.

Small Press Distribution is putting on the 2010 BEE-IN on May 17! What is it, you ask. Why it's A Spelling Bee to Benefit Small Press Distribution!



Bee well, and spell better.

for those interested in martial arts and librarianship...

...just discovered that bojutsu has its own classification in the Dewey Decimal System: 796.86.

Specifically:

.86 : Fencing

Including bojutsu, kendo

Class here sword fighting.

Awesome (though I am a little sad to see it under 796, which is "Athletic and outdoor sports and games").

Saw today that Mike Mignola--one of my all time favorites--now has his own site on the interwebs (thanks for the info, Mark)! It's a lovely, creepy site and well worth taking a look at: Art of Mike Mignola, or just click on the lovely pic below!

Also this week is Library Week, so why not check ol' Hellboy out from a local library?
