I picked up a small selfie light ring at the local Dollar Tree a few days ago. It's supposed to clip on a cell phone but I decided to test it out with my Olympus FE-170 digital camera (I really need to get a newer one someday). I couldn't clip the light ring on the camera but I was still able to use it. I decided to take some pictures of my old Spider-Man parachute figure from 1978. I have lost the actual parachute way back when and a lot of the paint has rubbed off. The pictures were brighter and wasn't as yellow as they usually are thanks to the bare lightbulb in my ceiling light. I still had to use GIMP to edit the contrast and brightness levels otherwise the red and blue would be dull. I need to get a different photo editor someday too because GIMP exports instead of save jpgs, which is rather annoying.

Batman Unburied on Spotify
I received an email from Spotify with the fallowing ad for Batman Unburied:
About Batman Unburied: "A serial killer known as The Harvester terrorizes Gotham City, but Batman is not coming to the rescue. In fact, Bruce Way has no memory of being the Caped Crusader at all. Instead, Bruce is a forensic pathologist, performing the autopsy on the latest victim when he's attacked by the killer himself. As Bruce's obsession with the Harvester consumes him, Dr. Thomas Wayne, head of Gotham City Hospital, orders his son to take medical leave and seek treatment from an unusual psychologist, Dr. Hunter. With Batman missing in action, Detective Barbara Gordon is left with no other choice but to seek help from Gotham's second smartest detective: The Riddler."
Batman Unburied trailer and episodes #1-3:
Batman Unburied episodes #4-6:
I decided to listen today as I write this post. I'm on the second episode now and it's pretty good so check it out if you have Spotify (if you don't, then you better get it).

Women Wednesday: Storm from X-Men Red #1 and 2
I missed Marvel's X-Men Red #1 last month but Storm plays a major part in the series. The second issue came out today and the series is basically about what happens after the X-men terraform Mars. The first issue's cover features Storm, Magneto and Sunspot while the second issue's cover features Storm and Vulcan. The first issue also features a hot shot of Storm on page 34. Appologies for having the images reversed for somehow I lost the ability to copy and paste the code while editing the html.
