Dog daze II We have a new dog. He is a rescued Boston terrier named Worf. We love him a lot and I will be writing more about him and posting photos once I figure out how. In the meantime, here's a link to the latest 200 Words, a lesson for me in hubris and the whims of fame. http://www.ifanboy.com/content/articles/200_Words_with_Paul_Dini__12_-_FAMEI have been meaning to post responses to the folks who write in to the 200 Words column at iFanboy but I am having much computer trouble each time I try. If you want a response, or to chat or whatever regarding the column, please leave me a message here and I will try to rectify the posting problem at iFanboy by next week. | | Friday, April 25th, 2008 | | 12:59 am |

The Weekly Woozle First off, in answer to the question I've been asked no less than twelve times just today, no, I will not be going to the New York Comic Convention this weekend. Please understand I have nothing against the con. Indeed, other than nearly mixing it up with a surly lout who pushed Misty aside and told me to go screw myself (not so politely) I had a pretty good time last year. However, last year I was a guest, and with no one footing the bill this time, and with no new projects for me to announce at the moment, I didn't see much reason in going. Not that I don't looooove getting to New York every chance I can. I was born there and still feel close ties to the city. Back in the early to mid-ninties I was blessed with generous friends who lived in LA but maintained a usually vacant swanky mid-town Manhattan apartment. If I wanted to take a week and write a Batman script "at home" I would pack my laptop and write it out of their apartment, being canny enough not to tell the other producers exactly whose home I was writing from. I still have the same generous friends and they still have the same swanky apartment, though they have since long-term leased it to writers working on a New York-based sit-com. Now when I go to NYC, I have to pop for a hotel. Ah me, I sure do have it tough. Though I won't be in New York this weekend, you can read about some of my favorite things to do there in an article soon to be printed in the New York Post. Reporter Chris Cassuto asked me what I would do with 50 bucks to spend however I wanted to in the Big Apple and I came up with a few ideas. I think it turned into a fun piece. I will post a link to it when it appears. Speaking of links, the one below will take you to the latest installment of our home improvement adventures. http://www.ifanboy.com/content/articles/200_Words_with_Paul_Dini__10_-_THE_AC_CHRONICLES_Part_Two Current Mood:  nostalgicCurrent Music: "New York State Of Mind" by Floyd Pepper | | Thursday, April 10th, 2008 | | 12:41 am |
Air woes The imposing structure that is Castle Dinistein boasts many strange and unique things. A sofa made from an old navajo blanket. An electric piano that serves only as a base for a bust of Dr. Teeth. A stuffed grizzly in full indian war bonnet. Books of arcane mystic lore, devices of trickery and deception, living sock monkeys and a growing collection of robot beavers. The one thing we don't have? Air conditioning. All that changes this week as we begin our first major upgrade on the old family mansion. You can read the first installment here: http://www.ifanboy.com/content/articles/200_Words_with_Paul_Dini__9_-_THE_AC_CHRONICLES_Part_OneMore misery and merriment to come.

Sugar, Sugar... In comics stores today, DETECTIVE #843 reveals the true identity of the new Ventriloquist. One or two astute readers have already cracked the who, but no one has yet hit upon the why. This issue will shed a glimmer of light on Sugar's motivations, paving the way for our all hell breaks loose finale in TEC #844. Scarface sez: "Buy it, ya bums! Better yet, steal it!"

New podcast Yes, Misty and I are back with the first new podcast of 2008. Among the topics discussed: 1. What we're up to and where we've been. 2. Rashy's new projects for '08. 3. The stairs fell on Alabama (and on everyone else). 4. Our trip to Wondercon, GPS troubles and a stormy night in SF. 5. Misty's desire to parade as a dancing rice bowl. 6. My expulsion from Children's Fairyland. 7. A new drinking game guaranteed to get you thrown out of most comic conventions. 8. When (if ever) The Carpenter will be returning to Detective Comics. All this and ever so much more right here: http://www.dinicartoons.com/podcast/Almost%20Live%20Episode%2011.mp3 Current Mood:  airyCurrent Music: Daffy's Rhapsody by Mel Blanc | | Thursday, March 6th, 2008 | | 11:13 pm |
Animal news... While this is not a cryptozoology report per se, it does deal with the rediscovery of an animal long thought gone from its home range. Last Sunday a grad student doing research on pine martens in California's northern Sierras near Lake Tahoe snapped an even bigger prize -- a picture of a never before photographed California wolverine. Growing up in California and spending summers near Tahoe, the wolverine had for me a legendary, almost supernatural appeal. An animal always discussed but rarely seen and never, EVER credibly photographed, the last one in the state was killed in 1922. Since then scientists have been on the fence about whether it still existed. Every now and then someone would see something that looked like a wolverine, but outside of some inconclusive tracks, proof was hard to come by. It time it became like the Tasmanian tiger of Northern California -- known by a few skins but most likely extinct. Now it's back. Or maybe it never went away. Some people think it's a stray from up north, others think it might be from an equally legendary splinter group in the Southern Sierras. However it got here, it's here and I hope it and its kin critters will be around for a long while. Read the story and see the photo here: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080306144240.htm Current Mood: happyCurrent Music: Wolverine Blues by Jellyroll Morton | | Tuesday, March 4th, 2008 | | 11:05 am |

Weekly Wrap-Up Misty and I are just back from Wondercon in San Francisco. We had a real good time and got to hang out with such lovely folks as Mark Evanier, Bruce Timm, Darwyn Cooke, J. Bone, Stephen Silver, Bill and Kayre Morrison and many, many others. Saw THE NEW FRONTIER. It's awesome. And now for some idiocy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07z-tVnCYAMLaters. | | Wednesday, February 20th, 2008 | | 3:41 pm |
What's up In comics stores today, more thrills, chills and doublecrosses in MADAME MIRAGE #5. Then flip over to COUNTDOWN #10 for lots of Amazon action on Apokolips, and a sweet new origin of Harley Quinn by Bruce Timm! In tomorrow's 200 WORDS column at iFanboy.com, read about my checkered job history and the not-so-secret origin of the column. This was meant to be the kick-off colum but it was delayed thanks to last week's Valentines Day theme.

Starting this week at iFanboy.com... A new weekly column written by me titled 200 WORDS WITH PAUL DINI. Sometimes I'll be writing about animation, comics, and the business and craft of the writing process, sometimes I won't. It's whatever flashes through my mind at the time I sit down to write the column, wherever I write the column. Weird stories, oddball observations, rants, rumors, recounts of bizarre stuff I've done throughout my life, it's all food for the column as long as it fits within 200 words. The first column goes live this Thursday. Swing by http://www.ifanboy.com/ and check it out. Current Mood:  accomplished |
