The Mind of Robert E. Howard

I read this entry over on Scans_Daily today, which features a comic called "'The Adventures of Two-Gun Bob'. They are stories about Howard's life, drawn from his letters, biographies and friends/lovers memories." I've never read any Conan the Barbarian before (though Korgoth of Barbaria was awesome), or seen the movie (though my friend always tells me I need to), but just reading these stories about him has gotten me interested. This one story really struck me, as I'm sure it does anyone who's interested in creating things.

Golden Boy - new OP with Big Black

I saw a commercial the other day that pissed me off. I can't find it now cause I forget what car it was advertising (way to go, ad people) and I haven't seen it since. Good riddance.

The premise was this: some girl is on a blind date with a young guy in a suit. She rushes out of the café, telling the guy she has to go cause her ride is there. She gets in her friend's car, and they start giggling (as women tend to do whenever they get together). The girl tells her friend, "He said he was a student... of life. Single lane ahead, that's where I'll be."

Sigh... you silly woman... you just passed up on pre-dropout GOLDEN BOY!

I'm guessing he was still in law school cause he was wearing a suit... but maybe he had a job where he was wearing a suit.
