Tony Stark and ... Jerry Springer?
I went shopping on Oxford Street today, and I didn't feel like killing anyone ... much. It was actually quite nice, blue skies and sun, coffee and sushi. I needed a new winter coat (yes perhaps not the best time of year to shop for one but anyway) and I got a really nice gray one for a reasonable price. \o/ I love coats. I also got a shirt at H&M (that place is dangerous) and ended up walking past Forbidden Planet (just you know, happened to wander past) and spent less than 3 pounds! I prevailed over those three hard to resist words 'graphic novel sale' and all sorts of Iron Man toys but did end with the latest issue of Invincible Iron Man and a Iron Man button because I am not made of stone! So much awesome in one shop.
I seem to be going through a Tony Stark phase at the moment, as evidenced by all the Iron Man talk above. I've been reading more Marvel fic and read Ultimate Human which has Ultimate Iron Man as written by Warren Ellis. Awesome. I should catch up on more recent Ultimate!verse developments but from what I've see of Ultimates 3, maybe ignorance is bliss.
Swapping universes for a minute they went with the reset-button route with Tony? I'm slightly disappointed, not really surprised (it is comics after all), but a little disappointed but then, after reading some reviews, it might be interesting. I'll wait and see I guess, but part of me hoped he'd work through it because what was the point of all the shit he was put through for years if you were just going to reboot him? But then, it's not like this is the easy way out really, people are still going to react badly to him and he intellectually will know he did all these things, but just won't remember ... hmm, I still have to ponder. I am going to miss Extremis though, that was a really interesting plot line.
Talking of Warren Ellis, I'm reading his novel Crooked Little Vein at the moment, it's pretty good so far. Trix is awesome.
I seem to be watching classic Jerry Springer shows. I blame my flatmate, he chose it. Someone is getting married on the set. Of course they are. There really is nothing else on, except Alexander and no way in hell am I going through that movie again. I could of course go to my room, but I am sort of enjoying it.
I have all my icons back (welcome back, paid account), but I do really need to redo them.
Also, if anyone has a tumblr/twitter/blip.fm/last.fm account they don't think I follow, feel free to pimp it here. I like adding new people. :)
