Each second that goes by,
each tiny “tick-tock” of the bright green Hulk wall-clock in Kevin Feige’s
office, is conspicuous. The
president of Marvel Studios looks across his desk at Joss Whedon, who tries to
mask his boredom by doodling spaceships on the paper he was going to take notes
in. He fails.

S.151
"Coffee, sir,"
Jennifer said, handing a steaming mug to the tired, elderly man walking next to
her. His eyes smiled at her behind his glasses as he grabbed the mug and
took a sip. "Thank you, Jennifer," he said. "Were
they out of lemonade?"
"No, but they won't make it for humans," Jennifer said.
"Besides," she looked around nervously, as though the Minority
Leader and a horde of journalists would pop out at any second, "it's
not...becoming of someone of your position to be seen drinking
that, Mr. Senator."
First Post! Etcetera!
Well, well, well.
Look who we have here. It takes a lot of guts to come to this
place, and by "guts," I of course mean "lack of self-respect,
fun activities, or basically anything else to do." Don't worry, though!
There'll be plenty of fun to be had here! Check out all the crazy formatting
options for entering comments! Bold? Italics? Underline? Center left and center? What is this,
the Vatican?
The answer, of course, is
no, because if this was the Vatican I probably would have critiqued the rich
and gone off to feed poor people or something by now (here's another fun
activity: try to guess how long that topical reference will make sense! Who
knows, the next Pope Alexander VI could be any day...) Unfortunately, this is a
simple, poorly-organized blog. Don't worry, I'm not doing this out of the
goodness of my heart like some communist shadow of God on Earth or anything.
As per usual, it looks like I was too smelly to get a job this summer,
and assuming that remains the case, I figure having a vague responsibility to
upload a story or anecdote a day to this thing will keep me busy. In that
sense, this blog is my baby. Also in the sense that it will almost certainly
smell like shit, eventually. So until then, enjoy the ride!
