Back
Back from vacation! It was glorious and wonderful. The place we stayed was utterly gorgeous. Also, very windy. But I like windy, especially when it doesn't fuck up the power.
We were there with my parent's work; there's usually a big trip at the end of the busy season -- sort of a combination "yay, busy season's over!" and "good job everyone!" There were some people that I hadn't met before, since I'm not in and out and underfoot there anymore, but there were a lot of familiar faces. I hung out with my voice teacher and her husband a lot, that was fun. Also, I had some awesome conversations about sci-fi. Dana did my hair and make-up for the big dinner night. She did a really good job on it too.
Most of the time was spent mooching around, as vacations are supposed to be spent. I got a massage, which was really nice, and this time I didn't have to go to the airport and have a mini-break down afterward, so there was all sorts of win. Mom felt kind of icky, but her room was really nice with a gorgeous view, so at least there was that.
Sharing a room with my sister makes me want to thump her over the head. Mostly because she's very loud in the morning and wakes up about an hour and a half before I do. Gahh.
Aaaaaaand LiveJournal just ate a chunk of my post. Thanks a lot, LJ. I hate it when it does that.
I read some of the books Dad lent me. Here's what I've concluded by about two and a half books in:
1) the Protagonist is far too smug for an amnesiac tricking his way into what is clearly a dangerous situation. Fortunately, he becomes less so when he fails and has to spend four years regrowing his eyeballs.
2) Of the handful of women who have appeared, only two of them have distinct personalities. One of them is evil. The other one is introduced and killed within a hundred pages.
3) Nope, still don't care about the protagonist.
In other news, we have a cover for the third issue of the Young Avengers miniseries. here is the scans_daily post with the cover.
Tell me that, at first glance, the beige-ish part of Wiccan's uniform doesn't look like bared flesh. And make it look like he's wearing thigh-high boots.
Aside from that amusing bit, though, his uniform is beginning to look rather busy. I'm trying to decide between a Saruman Billy the Many Colored joke and a Joseph Billy and the Technicolor Dream Coat Uniform joke. Or maybe just comment that we know how to make a stripper version of Wiccan's costume now.
