1) An interesting discussion on the Shortpacked! official board has been about the fact that the Diamond Distributor company uses the Batman standard to judge title sales. That is, every title they sell is compared to how well it does against the specific DC comic book titled Batman. One of the readers has suddenly made it his mission to create a comic book and attempt to sell a CentiBatman's worth of copies of it. (As the value of a Batman in copies is somewhat variable there is some luck involved.)
2) News relayed to me by Aaron ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ps238principal Williams that a British court ruled against Lucasfilm in a copyright case involving the Imperial StormTrooper costume from Star Wars. The judge had declared that the costume was "industrial design" rather than "scuplture" under the legal definitions (the copyright on it had run its course) and become public domain. My immediate thought was on the status of car design--whether the motorcars built before 1995 were suddenly made public domain by this ruling.
3) There are only six or so songs left to vend in my quota for Dread & Terror.
4) All of a sudden somebody is following my LJ via Blogged. I'm supposed to have a Widget working to tell me more about that as part of the LJ, but I haven't figured out how and where to put it up. Welcome, Kikuko...hope you are comfortable here.
5) According to the Japanese site www.saiani.net, the game Armored Core will have an OAV spinoff released sometime in 2010. I'll be watching for this in my usual around-the-blinders fashion.
6) Jon Bon Jovi was on Fresh Air yesterday. He says he absolutely hated the music videos his band made back in the Eighties. I wonder what the boys would have done if they had more creative control back then.

( I Gotta Try )
When Michael McDonald made this song a hit in the early Eighties, General Hospital was one of the hottest shows on TV and this was one of Luke's theme songs. (Kenny and Michael wrote this song together and it looks like both their versions came at about the same time.)

Universal Music Won't Let Me Embed It, So I'll Link! For a while, the Springstead Jazz Band had it as their theme song.

( --You Will Be A Whole Man! )
Funny that my nostalgic sojourn to Pennsylvania happens the same week this song is presented on the Bottom-Feeders blog. It's an incredible conjunction of coincidences. You might even say it's...Synchronistic! Maybe there's a spirit in the hardware somewhere...

LINKED because it's far too dangerous to EMBED with these boys.
