Just because

I don't have much to say again today. I think I want some turf with my surf....

I have previously posed about the Marvel / Soap Opera crossover. Today they released a teaser trailer for the show. All I have to say is, "Honey, It's Harley" - She's A Marvel: Special Sneak Preview.

Having watched the Guiding Light I know the 'new' super hero is a long time cast member and character who receives her powers in a 'horrifying electrical shock' from.....

.....Halloween lights?!? Hmmmm?

Her super hero name is 'Guiding Light'. [creative ain't it]. I found a comic version of the teaser as well.



Although the TV teaser doesn't show promise I may still watch so I can see the other Marvel heroes and villains who are promised to appear on the show. It all starts November 1.

I saw a cool invention that is the newest addition to my 'want list'.



This little guy is called the Firefly which turns your bottle into a lantern.




The unique lid design contains an integrated LED light which spreads a warm glow throughout the bottle. It has variable light levels so you can have a night light for stormy nights, or a reading light for enjoying your latest read; the control is at your finger tip! The electronics are in a separate sealed compartment, so there's no risk of water or juice gumming up the works! Compatible with all standard wide mouth bottles.

I also came across another comic book today called 'The Walking Dead'.



This comic begins like '28 Days Later' with the main character in a hospital after an accident. There is an online version of the first book here.

This is a neat little cross over for me. I also found this 'Cover Art Gallery' if you want to view more of the images from the series.

I admit the scariest thing I saw while surfing today was not the Guiding Light trailer or The Walking Zombie comic. It was this site that allows you to 'Calculate Your Healthy Weight'.

Will all of the success and millions that actors are making on TV, I found it surprising that of the 'Top Rated TV Shows of All-Time' the most recent show was the 1994 Winter Olympics.
