Hi, all.Historically, I've been less than reliable when it comes to updating a personal blog, but I'm not terribly interested in elaborating upon the many (and legitimate) reasons why that occurs – at least not right here, not right now.
What I am interested in – what I think, once made aware, everyone will be interested in – is a weekly blog post falling under the heading "Marvel Monday"
You might be asking, why call it Marvel Monday?
Easy: a good friend and font-of-talent, Sam Bosma, draws beauties from the Marvel Comics universe on Mondays. I had been looking for something to spark a weekly post and – since my preferred emotional positioning is one of awe, and dazzlement – have decided that Marvel Monday would be a perfect beginning of the ole' routine.
If this catches, perhaps a series of weekly posts – like another good friend and font-of-talent, John Shortino, has going with his MWF posting schedule – will come from my hands to
your screens (Perhaps What Am I Doing? Wednesdays & Hungry Fridays? Ho hum, ho hum. Gotta let things get going before I get going all ahead of myself.)
Well, then!
ON TO THE POST
For the first Marvel Monday post of all time, I've chosen to expose Giant, Mucus Sea Blobs as more than a simple reality, but rather a problem bordering on MEDITERRANEAN HEALTH THREAT!
Check out the video:
The video – mostly the announcetrix's bemusedly slow speech pattern – makes GIANT MUCUS BLOBS a bit less compelling than this quote:
Serena Fonda Umani, of Italy's University of Trieste, remembers diving about 50 feet (15 meters) down when she got the sensation of a ghost floating over her--"sort of an alien experience."But even that isn't very interesting.
One day, Professoressa Umani was swimming down, down low to the depths of the sea when she "got the sensation of a ghost floating over her." Creepy, but not so creepy, not so unnatural or disturbing as to be anything but sort of an alien experience?
There are giant zombie-fied balls of mucus floating around in the ocean, smothering fish and potentially infecting Italians, Greeks, and all manner of Speedo-wearing beachgoers with e.coli.
I'm feeling a little marvelous/marvel-filled/marvelful, but not extremely so.
The world – both the natural and the man-made – has much more to offer than balls of mucus in the ocean.
The best I can do is offer a brief list of potential sources of said mucus:
- Poseidon's hay fever
- The wall behind Aquaman's headboard, where he keeps his booger collection
Ho hum. Nothing really can match the haunting effervescence of the photo.
Next Marvel Monday, something more interesting.
