Bombs Away! Pt. 2: Interview with Sacha Borisich
Last time we interviewed the creative minds behind The Black Cherry Bombshells. But what about the comic's illustrator? We asked Sacha Borisich about her female role at Zuda, what she thinks of the digital medium, and her reaction to the zombie-infested, girl gang story.
Harry Potter has always intrigued me, though I have never had the self-discipline to sit down and read through all of the novels. I’ve opted to see the movies instead, even when they bored me to tears. It’s fascinating to think that they have gotten progressively better over the years, and the video game tie-ins have certainly followed suit. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is an entertaining (albeit very predictable) journey into Potter’s world, but it got me to sit down and pay attention a lot longer than the books did.

When you stay up late into the night feverishly reading a book you just can’t put down (even if it weighs a ton) and seriously consider flipping back to page one when you’ve finished, I think it’s safe to say you’ve found something special.

Have a few extra thousand dollars to spend this holiday season? How ’bout spoiling the geek in your life with Luke’s lightsaber from The Empire Strikes Back or Indy’s fedora and whip from The Temple of Doom?
Today in MiL, I have a story that I’m sure will melt everyone’s heart! I interviewed Celine who met her other half Matthew on hexrpg.com, a Harry Potter RPG site, when she was only 15 and he was 17. She was “Mayoke” and he was “Axrix” who were both new students who met on the Hogwarts Express. They first talked shyly about what sorting they may be put into- she got into Gryffindor and he into Slytherin, but soon they’re shyness wore off as two realized that Harry Potter wasn’t the only thing they had in common…
During the 3 day weekend, I didn’t get to be merry by the pool… instead, I got all giddy over a new find; a charming store tucked away on Magnolia Blvd. called Collectible Wizard! Read the full story
