Random Bits of Sunburned Thoughts

I am currently lathered in aloe vera gel in the hopes that the pain from my Laura-you-idiot sunburn will get to a manageable level. Here's some thoughts from around the net.

Good news on the Aquaman front, as Aquaman is finally getting his second collection. AQUAMAN: THE WATER BEARER will collect Aquaman 1-4 from the current series, and stories from the Aquaman Secret Files and the JLA/JSA Secret Files. It'll also have a sketchbook for extras, and a new cover by J.G.Jones.

The good Harry Potter artist I blogged about recently has a couple of new images up: At The Department of Mysteries and the Flight Towards London. If you want to keep up with the coming images, just check Marta's Livejournal every few days. She eventually adds them to her artdungeon page, but you'll see them first on the livejournal.

Going to name a kid soon? Check out how common the name you've picked is at Name Statistics. I noted that my last name is "vary rare". My first name is the 22nd most common first name. Eek. And my nickname, Tegan, is at 4103rd on the list. My husband's name is 33rd most common among males. Link via Mark Evanier.

I'm being haunted by Raymond Carver. I would tell more, but I want to find out if I'm remembering everything correctly.

Will Pfeifer has his own take on Bob Hope Movies to watch. In another article, he tells us about classic educational films like "Soapy the Germ Fighter" from 1951. And if you can't get enough of Will, read his article on films about the cold war.

Salam Pax has a bit about the slow learning curve of General Sanchez and a bit more about finding Raed at Turning Tables.

Update: By the way, if you have any "secret cures" for bad sunburn, please feel free to pass them on, as I'm in agony. I probably deserve it for my foolishness, but it would be nice to get some relief.
