I'm Frank Beaton. I write comic books and other things. I'm more or less delightful.

Blog it up, blog it in, let me begin

Holy cats, I have a blog?  When did that happen?  

Whatever, ass-butt.  I tweet like a golden god, so I don’t need any guilt trips about how i never blog.  You got that, “Frank Beaton”?  Yeah, that’s what I thought.

ANYWAYZ!  I wrote a short retrospective about the Planet of the Apes franchise to accompany Erik Henriksen’s excellent review of Rise of the Planet of the of the of the Apes in this week’s Portland Mercury.  You should read it because I use the F-word and the S-word and that’s funny.

Here’s what happened today

I deployed a major new redesign of CBR.  It could not have gone worse.

I failed miserably at making pad thai for the first time, and may have given myself food poisoning in the process.

I split a toenail on my right food.  Very painful.

My check didn’t arrive.  Again.

I got nothing written, except a few work emails and this blog.

My daughter walked.

Today fucking ruled.

Can you name any country that became a democracy after a violent revolution? Honestly, can you even name one?
