While attending the Columbus Convention Center, one must take the obligatory photo with the Arnold Schwarzenegger statue outside.

I thought I was going to have to explain my cosplay to "Weird Al." It turns out he knew exactly who I was, and he also loves "Hundreds of Beavers!" Whoever coined the phrase, "Never meet your role models," clearly didn't have Weird Al as their role model.

My Jean Kayak cosplay from "Hundreds of Beavers." While at Galaxycon Columbus, we found this little snowy area that felt appropriate for a mini-photoshoot. Now, if I only had hundreds of friends wearing beaver mascot suits.

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.
A comic called Animals with Misleading Names. There's an electric eel labeled "not an eel". There's a mountain goat labeled "not a goat." There's a maned wolf labeled "not a wolf." There's a king cobra labeled "not a cobra. Also, snakes are typically self-governing." There's a peacock mantis shrimp labeled "Not a peacock. Not a mantis. Also, not a shrimp." There's a horny toad labeled "Not a toad. Only thinks of you as a friend." There's a mayfly labeled "active through the spring and summer." There's an eastern kingbird labeled "found in the west. Many birds do not recognize its authority."

Most of the year my home decor is a showcase of various characters across comics and pop culture, however, December belongs to Paul Dini's "Jingle Belle".
The full size mannequin that hangs out in our front room is decorated with a "Jingle Belle" character cosplay and placed next to our X-mas tree. She is wearing a white turtle neck with green overalls shorts, red and white striped stockings, tall black boots, and a green elf hat with a large red feather sticking out.

I set up a bird "photo booth" outside my window using some faux birch logs and pine branches, resulting in up-close bird photos in more natural surroundings. Up first is the Red-bellied Woodpecker, and in the second photo, you can see the "red belly" for which the bird was named.
A Red-bellied Woodpecker perched on a pine branch. The bird has a white breast with a rusty red belly patch, a black and white spotted back, a red head cap, with a long black bill.

And so it begins. One 13 pound bird resting in Alton Brown's brine, spending the night in the garage. Tomorrow, the oven.

Fan art sketch of She-Hulk, dressed in a casual hoodie and jeans and propping up Mjolnir on her shoulder like it's made of foam. Which, I dunno? Maybe it is. How are we to know? Let's for the sake of coolness though assume it's the genuine article.
