Material wealth
Material wealth
Here's a picture of everything I bought for myself last week. I got the $100 soundcard, the $10 DVD, and the $70 worth of comics. I really just put this up for myself so I could remind myself why I subject myself to the daily grind. This is sad for two reasons: 1) I'm already part of the daily grind at the green age of 22 and 2) that I thought of the coffee shop in "Friends" when I typed "daily grind". I don't even like that show.
Focus on the picture, Drew. Focus on the picture.
It's all good, though. I'm finished with the first McBride film tomorrow. I look at apartments this weekend. I've got the Cardinals' game this weekend. I'm going to spend too much money this weekend on crap that I don't need (but want). I'll give some happier posts during this time.
Also, I'm working on a TV pilot for a contest from Bravo Channel. Unfortunately it's got to be postmarked by September 18, and I haven't even started it yet. I guess that's what this week off is going to be for (in addition to looking for a place, going to a ball game, and buying crap).

I thought the coffee shop in 'Friends' was called Central Perk?
The only coffee shop called Daily Grind I can recall is the one that Ben Reilly worked for in the Spider-Man comics for a while.
Hey... What ever happened To Ben Reilly? After he became Green Goblin i mean. I know the series lasted all of five minutes, but I enjoyed it. I should note that when Scott McDaniel ceased to draw Green Goblin I ceased to care.
Good call on the coffee shop, Newell. You're right. I know there's a coffee shop called the Daily Grind somewhere, though. Now it's going to drive me crazy.
Ben Reilly was never the Green Goblin. Ben Reilly is the much hated Spider-clone. He got killed by the real Green Goblin, Norman Osborn.
I'm going to make a wild guess here and assume you mean Phil Urich, nephew of star Daily Bugle reporter Ben Urich. Phil was donned the Gobble gear once and tried to use the identity as a hero and even got his own series. The series wasn't very well received though and ended after like 14 issues. If I recall correctly, Phil tried to take out a Sentinel all by himself, during Onslaught. He mangaged to do it, but in the process he got beat all to hell and back, most of the Goblin gear getting ruined in the process. With no way to finance a repair job and no stock of replacements, he took that as a sign that it was time to hang up the tights. His being a super hero just wasn't meant to be.
