The BIG DAY is finally here! After 16 days of alternating between Hypnosis and Muscle Growth stories, today features one of my most favorite topics: Mind-Controlled Muscle! Aside from that, I've posted 2 new muscle morphs, 5 sequenced artworks, 8 hypno sketches, and 10 original stories (including from me that I finished in 12 hours). I've been cramming like crazy to get as much stuff uploaded today, and I still have more drawings to be post on tomorrow!

As always, I would like thank Chad, Changes, and Flexodus for hosting my crap for free :D, which is a big deal considering how stingy Yahoo Geocities has been with their bandwidth lately.

Finally, thanks to those guys I've chatted with the past year via IM and CYOC especially the ones eager to share their fantasies and stories with me. It's always nice to have something new to talk about. You know who you are. ;)

New stories: My deepest gratitude goes out to cicero, Ikaika, hypnojon32, hyptrance, Luz Rojo, jockmorphr, toddmen8302, and wbhulk for making this day a huge success! I'd like to also mention copsucker_99, svankmaj, and WolfPek for their contributions during the past month. :)

* Has accompanying artwork

New artwork: Opened my Muscle Growth album (which mirrors my stuff from MGS) and added pics to the Hypnosis album at The 'O' Zone.

The Outing of Congress--I wholeheartedly agree that one's sexuality is a personal affair, but when someone actively supports the very people out to codify discrimination, then that hypocrite is sadly mistaken thinking this decision has no repercussions. Come out or get out. Salon

New Story: Superman Caves In by wbhulk (musc celeb)

New Artwork: Dedicated to the Man of Steel who fights for Truth, Justice, and the American Gay!

Stories I'm reading:

Another "Superman" Setback--Just as long as Nicolas Cage stays far away, it's OK.

Superman: Secret Identity--Great Scott! Superman has never looked this good and real in this four-issue mini-series written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated by Stuart Immonen. When this project was announced last year, I thought it was going to be a Smallville clone or something along the lines of the Superboy of Earth-Prime, but what I got instead was a meta-textual examination of what makes the Man of Steel so Super through the eyes of a real-world boy named Clark Kent. Read the reviews:

  • Smallville: 1 | 2 | 3
  • Metropolis: 1 | 2
  • Fortress: 1
  • Tomorrow: 1 | 2

Josh Boultinghouse--This year's winner of the Superman Festival (scroll down a bit for his pics) can give Heroic World's Scott Cranford a run for his money. These guys won't. (Update 5 July 05)

Dave Mirra--I am so obsessing over the latest Got Milk? spokesperson, the Miracle Boy.

A Mighty Wind--After watching "Mitch" and "Mickey" (Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara) perform "A Kiss At The End Of The Rainbow" at the Oscars, I just had to track down the DVD of this mockumentary of folk singers from the 60s whose music provide a calming counterpoint to the sometimes ear-busting, mind-numbing cacophony that blasts through our airwaves today.

July Surprise?--Why am I not? :/ [c/o Talking Points Memo]

A third source, an official who works under ISI's director, Lieutenant General Ehsan ul-Haq, informed tnr that the Pakistanis "have been told at every level that apprehension or killing of HVTs [i.e., high-value al Qaida targets] before [the] election is [an] absolute must." What's more, this source claims that Bush administration officials have told their Pakistani counterparts they have a date in mind for announcing this achievement: "The last ten days of July deadline has been given repeatedly by visitors to Islamabad and during [ul-Haq's] meetings in Washington." Says McCormack: "I'm aware of no such comment." But according to this ISI official, a White House aide told ul-Haq last spring that "it would be best if the arrest or killing of [any] HVT were announced on twenty-six, twenty-seven, or twenty-eight July"--the first three days of the Democratic National Convention in Boston.

Here's a nice catch-22: "The judge said he couldn't explain further because his explanation itself would expose sensitive secrets."

Spiderrific!--As a long-time Spider-Fan, I absolutely loved this movie, which is a lot more emotional, a lot more exciting, and whole lot more fun than its predecessor. We pick up right where we left off, and it's like the past two years never happened. (Kinda how Shrek 2 did it too.) There were many great moments in the film especially how Sam Raimi and company perfectly portray Peter Parker's perennial problems from living a double life and the exhilirating fight scenes between Spidey and Doc Ock which, despite being conspicuously computer-generated, were well-choreographed and coordinated. As for the cast, Alfred Molina was a wonderful choice to play Dr. Octavius, and Daniel Gillies was just soooo hot as the astronaut son of J. Jonah Jameson. I just don't know how Spider-Man 3's gonna to top this flick, but we're gonna find that out... in three year's time. :O

Gay couples are holding together [c/o Rodney Croome]

Forget the phony figures cooked up by organizations like the Family Research Council that warn about the alleged instability of gay relationships. Vermont has been the only place in America where we have amassed hard, cold facts about gay couples, the only place where, for the last four years, gay relationships have been recognized by the state as equal to straight relationships. And the data is in: Gay couples are doing much better than straight couples are.

Abolish the Terror Tax--Energy indepedence is a good thing to promote unless you're the president of Exxonn Mobil who claims "[Americans] do not have the resource base to be energy independent... We simply cannot avoid significant reliance on oil and gas from the Middle East." While he has a good point regarding the unfeasibility of eschewing oil in the short term, he then proceeds to shoot down developing and enhancing alternative means of energy production that obviously threaten his bottom line. Ah well, what else can we expect from the country's largest publicly traded oil company? Salon
