Good morning, Cafe!
On Friday night I posted a call for jobseekers to post their locations, skills, and needs in the Cafe as a way to help some of our little community find jobs. I screened comments because I wanted as many people as possible to get to comment, without the latecomers being unseen because the moment had passed.
I've had responses from scientists, artists, teachers, the spouses and children of loved ones with no job, and people who want to be members of the Ninja Office Admin guild, among others. If you are looking for someone to employ, there is someone in that post for you!
I've unscreened the comments, so you are now free to check out The Cafe Talent Pool. It's pretty impressive.
Please go have a look at the post and see what advice, links, knowledge, etc you can offer. Especially since if nobody comments it makes me look like an asshole. :D And you never know, you might make a new friend.
Jobseekers, you're not exempt from that request -- you may not have a job but you have skills and knowledge and you should know each other, the better to help each other out. And if you missed the original post it's not too late to comment.
Have fun, guys, and be excellent to each other!

How would you make a child's life hell without any form of corporeal punishment,

I found out today that http://criminalmindsfanatic.blogspot.co m/ is now 'friends only'. Anyone know how can I get an invitation?
LOOK WHAT I HAD IN THE POST

I think I'm in love... and it makes me want to hop into something cosplay-like to give that watch some glory, but I'm too lazy and broke now (which might not only be because of the watch but because of the huge shopping spree yesterday). ^^
That's fobwatch number three (of two I bought myself and one I inherited), I might develop an obsession here.
ETA: Did a minor Friends cut - mainly because I realised how many people's entries I read while they had no idea who I am.
ETA2: New Waters of Mars trailer! You know, the reference to David Bowie's 'Life on Mars' makes my head hurt ^^

Sometimes I like Brian K. Vaughan's work, more often I don't. I found Y The Last Man a dead bore. And just looking at the Marcos Martin art, I didn't think Doctor Strange: The Oath would impress me: it looked like a Steve Ditko copy, a reversion to old comics and old styles.
But this entertained me far more than I expected it too. It was written with a sense of humour - something Doctor Strange stories sometimes lack. At the very first few pages we get Iron Fist and Arana in the waiting room for the superheroes' emergency clinic run by Night Nurse, who is actually a doctor. They are interrupted by the appearance of Wong with an unconscious Doctor Strange - Strange has been shot. And so begins a plot that is actually about ( Wong's medical condition... )
Doctor Strange tells Night Nurse his life story: "For a time, I was one of the finest surgeons in our country... but I was also an arrogant wretch."
When he is finished, Night Nurse says, "You're serious? You call yourself the "Sorcerer Supreme"? And you say you used to be arrogant?"
The story features a revisitation to the origin of Doctor Strange, bringing it around to a hitherto unknown friend, colleague and antagonist for Strange, in a bizarre plot to find a cure for all disease (easy) and destroy it (more problematic, but they manage). There's more violence than I expect with Doctor Strange, where and somewhat less colourful spellcasting, which I liked.
And it ends with a kiss.
This is one of those comics that won me over in spite of myself, and raised my opinion of Brian K. Vaughan.
