I'm already suffering squeeloss just thinking about it
I've been having focus problems today, thanks to the tired and to all the stuff I have to do.

Tomorrow will not be about focusing so much as not going crazy with the sheer amount of crack:

10 a.m. Early IMAX screening of The Dark Knight with the whole A.V. Club crowd. IMAX at 10 a.m. will wake you up better than coffee, yo.

1 p.m. We taste-test magic flavor berries, and various items presumably altered by magic flavor berries.

3 p.m. Interview with the Luna Brothers, the guys behind my current favorite comic book, The Sword. (First trade collection out last Wednesday. Get on it, comics fans.)

7 p.m. Critics' screening of Hellboy II: The Golden Army.

That's so much squee in one day that I expect to be utterly squeed out by midday at the latest. My job rocks.

Oh yeah, and somewhere in there I need to do eight hours of work. I'll get right on that.

I'm-a feelin': bouncy

Hey, someone had to say it.
"These magic flavor berries taste like magic flavor berries."

;)

T, don't take this the wrong way, but--

You suck. :P

Where are you guys getting the magic flavor berries? I might try and procure myself some.

eBay. I wasn't the one buying them, so I don't know the details, but I know he's been trying to win an auction for a while without paying Way Too Much.

You mean to say you're not reading The Sword?!

The shame!



Admittedly I'm not reading it atm as I've moved overseas and hence out of proper comic book shop range, but that's besides the point...

I want a full Magic Flavor Berry report, as all I've heard about them makes me wildly curious.

Besides, I'm sure you'll have plenty of free time to write one up. :)

Well, we're taste-testing them. There'll be a full write-up for the site.

Also, your icon? WTFhuh?

It's from Black Books. Manny's locked in the bookshop overnight and acts as if he's been stranded on a desert island. Driven to desperate hunger, he eats the dead bees in the front window that Bernard had forbidden him to clean up earlier. Recovering from his ordeal the next morning, he confesses guiltily to Bernard.

I do not recommend trying to eat dead bees with the Magic Berries in a fit of sampling enthusiasm.

I am even more envious about the magic flavor berries than about Heath Ledger movieDark Knight.

I am more envious of the Luna Brothers thing than the movies. When did I become broken? You can keep the magic flavor berries, though.

Got any burning questions for them? We put off the interview by an hour to provide more magic-berry time.
