Vote Nick!

Don't let it be another hottieless year on CBS' summer reality staple, Big Brother. Have eyebrow happy America's Player Eric, vote out Kail on this Thursday's live eviction show (sadly voting will be closed by the time most of you read this).

We've already lost Mike, the painting contractor from Wisconsin (or more correctly the model from LA!). We can't possibly loose Nick, the former pro football player (and by that we mean European Federation of American Football player for the Seinäjoki Crocodiles, a team from Finland), and the lone surviving member of the Magnus/Kragnus dynamic strongman duo.



Let's face it any straight boy who can admit on national television that he has a Top Five guys that he'd sleep with, well that's a novelty in itself really isn't it. And to recap those guys are:

#1. Matthew McConaughey (naturally)
#2. Hugh Jackman
#3. Brad Pitt
#4. Unknown
#5. Ryan Reynolds

Come on America, and BB8 houseguests, let's please keep Nick in the house just a few weeks longer! I need some eye candy to deal with the increasingly sanctimonious ramblings of Dustin, Evil and co., which is beginning to sound a lot like squawking of Maggie, April and co. from Big Brother 6. And that's a truly scary proposition!

Comic Con 2007: Not All Geeks...

Look like this:









But the few who did made Friday afternoon at Comic Con a simply delightful place to be (and almost made up for the hour and a half spent looking for parking in the one-way construction zone that is the Gaslamp District of downtown San Diego).

Of course most looked like this:




























And then there was this one chick, who the comic nerds were drooling over, but I found her whole outfit somewhat disturbing:











Of course there were celebs: that guy from Stargate Atlantis, the shorter one from Supernatural; ST: TNG's Geordie and Deanna (too much Botox my dear); BSG's Chief/Cylon; and the ever present (at these type of things) Green Cross Code Man, aka the man who first played Vader, amongst others.

No official Joss meeting this year either (not even a post bathroom meeting like last year), but Joe did get a bunch of signatures from the 30 Days of Night boys, as well as some from the Aspen Comics hotties (and yes they were). But at least I got a couple more pieces from Robert Kraus of RAK Graphics (which he did on the spot for me), an artist I'd met previously at Wizard World LA and whose comic-styling images I love.

Two days of merchandising exclusives, crazy crowds, packed panels, and never-ending "what is this line for" queques, and Joe and I are already planning on spending three days down there next year!!!
