Robert got a haircut!

Now, I don't know if you'll think Robert's haircut is newsworthy material, but it is to the rest of us because it's mighty short. Not marine "high and tight" short, but sorta like bank manager short.

No more shaggy look. Now he's Mr. Clean. It's going to take some time getting used to.

Vampire-Con starts this weekend in Hollywood, CA. I don't think I'll be making it! It's just not something I can sink my teeth into!

Battlefield Earth

If your only exposure to "Battlefield Earth" is through the movie of the same name, then get off your duffus, go to Barnes & Noble or Amazon and order the book. The book is something else; it's a masterpiece in science fiction; and if it's not on your bookshelf by Christmas, put it on your "wish list" and don't settle for anything else.

I've read L. Ron Hubbard's "Battlefield Earth" twice, and when we make our 2010 trip to Comic-Con, it's going to be in my hot little hands.

The book, which is a hefty 1,050 pages long, is about Johnnie "Goodboy" Tyler and his struggle to take back Earth from the aliens who invaded it many years ago. And just when you thought it was a done deal, Hubbard throws in another twist, another turn.

It's a purely science fiction book, and I don't understand why you're still reading THIS when you could be online ordering "Battlefield Earth."

Now, get along with you!

"And above all things, never think that you're not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning." -- Isaac Asimov

I'm hungry for a burger!

There are not too many things that will get me moving off the couch like a fantastic hamburger! And from what I hear, there are a few burger joints in San Diego that I'm just going to HAVE to try.

In-N-Out will probably be the first burger stop we make when we get to Comic-Con 2010, only because everybody considers it THE burger joint of the west. It may just be a glorified Burger King, but we'll let you know.

Next up? Original Tommy's Hamburgers with 100% beef patties, double-thick slices of real cheese, fresh chopped onions, hand sliced beefsteak tomatoes, pickles and mustard -- with CHILI. Our arteries will be begging for mercy!

How about a stop at Ruby's Diner? The Rubyburger, with 1/3 lb. fresh choice ground beef has been an all-American classic for 25 years! And all of their burgers are served with "Refillable" Fries! Oh, baby! That's the way I like it!

Finally, we'll be sure to stop off at Rocky's Crown Pub, where you get a burger with a local pub atmosphere. The only items on the menu are burgers and fries, with or without cheese (American or swiss) -- and beer!

Yes indeed! The summer of 2010 is going to be a Burger Fest on our Road to Comic-Con!
