Just today I was wondering when the fuck  Fringe was going to get up on the Netflix tip so I could finally watch it. Get the discs? Pshaw! I’m lazy. Well it may be going up soon, just on Amazon’s streaming service. Today Amazon and Netflix both announced huge streaming signings.

Doritos are fucking delicious. Sure, they stink my breath up for a day and a half. As I vomit-burp up the spices out of my carbonated-ravaged esophagus. Sure they’re three-million calories. Sure they cover my fingers in yet another  vile coating of stuff. They’re fantastic. Their creator has died. Let us mourn.

UC Berkeley scientists have reconstructed thoughts into digital video. While (obviously) not a 100% match, the fact that they’re reconstructing thoughts into reasonable facsimiles is exciting and terrifying. Thought police! Want to see a video of it?

Of course you do.

So I was legitimately bummed that Diablo 3 had been pushed back into 2012. Big time! Emptiness. I should have known better. But I must cheer up! It seems that another  title that I have anticipated (while something sludging it on the website, because I fear it won’t be good) will be dropping round around Christmas time. Star Wars: The Old Republic, say hello!

James Taylor once penned a tune called Country Road. I’m not exactly sure that it was Taylor’s intention, but when I hear Country Road  I can’t help but imagine myself walking through an apple orchard in the heart of autumn. Perhaps I’m some sort of modern day Johnny Appleseed, walking along a deserted October highway and handing out smartphones to indigent children. “Help us, Techno-Papa, help us! We want to download apps and steal music and message our friends in Vietnam! We’re tired of burning these orange leaves to make smoke-signals! Techno-Papa, we need you!”

And I’ll look at these children, plagued by rickets and smiling their Pepsi-stained smiles, and I’ll deliver. Against the backdrop of autumn, decay and decrepitude as beautiful and wondrous, I’ll hand these diseased scamps the modern-magic they need to survive.

Or, at the very least, to die with smiles on their faces.

Is this what James Taylor thought of when he wrote Country Road? Probably not. But the motherfucker spent so many years on heroin, I wouldn’t rule it out.

Tonight, I’m celebrating dragon-chasin’ pop-song daydreams of autumnal techno-wizardry. It feels good, real good, but it’s parching me out. So it looks like  I’m washing these dope-sick delusions down with a cold can of  Autumnation.

I don’t read none of them Avengers books. Don’t like them. Don’t care about them. Marvel knows this, and they aren’t playing fair. They’re adding  Daniel Acuña to Avengers proper starting with issue #18, and his artwork is enough to get me to buy the rag.

Hit the jump for a preview of his premiere issue. It’s sexy.
