Muskrat Ramblings
“l hit you on Youface. But you’ve got to promise to fingertag me back”…

My Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/johnkovalic, recently hit 5,000 “friends.” And as facebook will readilly tell you, you can’t have more than 5,000 friends and be a real person. No, sir – you need to be a corporation, celebrity or monarch.

(I am not making the “monarch” thing up. It may be a Facebook joke. It probably is. But, frighteningly, IT MAY NOT! That’s just how Facebook is, anymore.)

Anyway, as a slew of other folks wanted to join the fun, so today, I took the plunge and turned my Personal Facebook Page into a Corporate/Celebrity/Monarch page.

If you were a “Friend” before, you’ve been automatically transported over to the new page…whether you like it or not!

(”Whether you like it or not,” by the way, would be my entry if Facebook ever had a “Create our new motto” competition).

If you weren’t my “Friend” before, well, now we can never apparently be friends ever again. Ever. At least according to Facebook.

But you CAN “Like” me.

So, “Like” me at http://www.facebook.com/johnkovalic. Why? Because we like you.

By the by, my very first post on the new Facebook page had a pretty awful typo in it. Which (a) is par for the course, and (b) what with Facebook being Facebook I can NEVER EDIT OUT, EVER means there’s no better time than now to plug my “TYPOS HAPPNE” t-shirts…in both Men’s and Ladies’ cuts.

No Origins or Gen Con for me, this year, I fear. With all the work to do, plus the generally feeling that I lost control of things these last eight or nine months, I’ve made the decision to just stay home and work.

And, you know, play with my daughter.

Possible new toy, in the My Little Cthulhu line: “My Little Geekthulhu.”

Each Little Victim would be its own geeky archetype. Though how I’m gonna covince Dreamland Toyworks to let me add bunny ears to the Fuzzy Victim, I’m not figured out, yet.

So. Basically. Imagine THIS guy…

With glasses and pocket protectors.

Like? Thoughts?

Fingertag me on Youface and let me know…

Muskrat out,

OK…I’ve shown everyone this piece of coolness before…

And then I discovered this, which is a laff…

But But Fred Bourgois just sent me this, which is all sorts of fantastic sauce:

(the animations don’t show up on the Dork Tower home page – you have to click the “Continue Rambling” button to see them):

I’m seriously just blown away by the animation on this. And the cuteness. And the evil. It’s absolutely everything My Little Cthulhu should be about.

If you drop by his website, , http://www.3dlounge.be/, he’s also got some nifty My Little Cthulhu wallpaper that you can download…

Speaking of Little Green, I’m a bit disturbed that so many places seem to be sold out of Goth My Little Cthulhu…and I still haven’t received any, yet…

Also: Why does Amazon list My Little Cthulhu under “Home and Dining”…?

Working on getting today’s Dork Tower up ASAP. Sorry about missing Wednesday. Something big happened. And not in a good way. But it’s over, now. So, good.
