bliumchikI think I missed January.
No, seriously, it feels like yesterday was the fourth, like I just woke up and went "What the hell, I just wasted a month." I didn't do anything, I didn't see anyone... the hell. Must fix.
Finished World War Z. Conclusion: Awesome. I really hope the movie ends up happening. Seriously, read this book. Also obtained Booster Gold #6 - I only mention this because I was in Comic Kingdom and I swear I saw an exact replica of The Simpson's Comic Book Guy browsing the stands. Down to the ponytail and the bright shirt.
Some lulz.
From various sources: The band Five for Fighting is generously donating $0.40 to Autism Speaks each time [THIS VIDEO] is viewed. The funds raised will go toward research studies to help find a cure for autism. When you have a moment, please watch this informative clip, featuring touching photos of a beloved daughter and her family.
There are insurance companies who refuse to pay for much needed therapy to help these children. The earlier it's caught and they CAN get the therapy, the better chance they have of leading fuller, more interactive lives with the world around them. Every day counts, and there are so many who are slipping through the cracks. So many. Please do what little you can, watch the video, watch it lots of times, leave it running in the background, get other people to watch it, donate to your local or state autism societies, learn more about this so you can help parents who have children who they love desperately, and who sometimes feel a little crazy BECAUSE they love them so much, and yet feel like sometimes they just can't get through.
Uh, but please check out the links in a comment below first. Honestly, some days I just don't want to post nonfiction.
