Master Race

I just read the last issue of Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello's Dark Knight III: The Master Race.
Honestly, the series wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I had my doubts when the series was announced a year and a half ago, mainly because I grew out of both Miller and Azzarello. And also because The Dark Knight Strike was fucking garbage (still worth a read thou lolz). Master Race was good, not great. It's on the same level as the Batman stuff Kevin Smith wrote. It's worth a read.

Recorded the episode of a radio drama/podcast I'm working on. Lots of editing this week. Can't wait for people to hear the first episode. It's gonna be a good one.

RIP Adam West

Really sad to hear about the passing of Adam West. I really enjoyed watching his Batman show when I was little. Couple of stations in the 90s still had it on syndication. It was more goofy and fun than the Batman I loved in the comics. But it was still Batman. My favorite thing that he has done thou was his appearance as The Gray Ghost in the brilliant Batman The Animated Series. The Grey Ghost was superhero that a young Bruce Wayne idolized. I think I'll watch that episode and then the Batman 66 movie tonight.

Earliest Memory

I fractured my wrist today at work. The timing of the events couldn't be played out more brilliantly.

5:00am - Arrive at my post at the "Generic Coffee Shop Franchise"
6:15am - Trip and fall on my hand
7:00am - Head to the emergency for X-Rays
9:00am - Leave the hospital with a cast on my hand
10:00am - At home watching F is For Family Season 2

I also got paid at work for my whole shift.

As I was waiting to do my X-Rays, I started thinking about what the earliest memory I have. I remember little flashes of stuff but I was trying to pinpoint what really stood out. It came to me on my way home from the hospital. When I was little, my family would travel a lot. I remember flashes of Singapore, Bangladesh and Hong Kong. I think on the way back from Singapore, my parents bought me a Batman toy. It wasn't an action figure but more of a 12" doll. I remember being really in love with it, especially the Bat-Symbol, which at the time I thought was the most beautiful thing ever. I came home and asked my dad if he remembered that time. He said he remembered me being at the duty-free shop just staring at it. Him and my mom were surprised because up until that point, I've never really asked to buy toys or anything. I pretty much just played with whatever toy my parents would find at the thrift stores where we bought our clothes. He was surprised that I still remembered that moment. I think that might have been the first time I have ever noticed anything Batman related, which started a lifelong obsession.

Just me and my cast

Song of the moment: Kamp! - Azure
