A Week of Batshit
So I spent all of last week in bed, at least when I wasn’t at work. My life last week consisted of getting up, going to work, coming home and trying to sleep off the cold that I somehow acquired over the weekend. Gabi held out until Wednesday of last week before she went down in flames as well. I felt like a complete crud because of that, mostly because Laura’s job is a lot more intense than mine. I sit on my ass all day and fix computers…she has to deal with sick children. Not sick as in kids with running noses and poopie hinies sick, either. She deals with sick as in “oh god we need to remove this medical device they have implanted into this kids neck and replace with this other one, and oh that other little shit is running around the place, but he took is prosthetic leg off and he is “kicking” the other kids with it… So, the fact that I got her sick makes feel sad. She doesn't blame me though, but that doesn't stop me from blaming myself.
Although on a brighter note, it looks like we got the panel that Ganz and I are running moved so that it is no longer competing with the other panel that Ganz and I will be participating in. So that is a positive. I haven’t really talked about that, but at Zkon this year Ganz and I were both on a panel that overlapped. We didn’t need to be on these panels together, but we really wanted to be. Also, we alwasy compliment each other, so it was for the best that we were on the panels together. Kristen and Mattie over Zkon were incredibly gracious and moved one of the panels for us. Those gals are just all full of awesome!
Since I was down all week, I got to catch up on some comic reading. I’ve been plowing through all of the first issues of the “Bat” books. Dude, there are way too many of these books. So far I’ve read all of the front-line bat books (“Batman,” “Batman and Robin,” “Detective comics,” “The Dark Knight.”) I then followed it up with all of the non-batman bat books (“Batgirl,” “Batwoman,” “Catwoman,” “Birds of Prey,” “Nightwing,” “Batwing,” “Red Hood and the Outlaws,” and “Teen Titans.”) I have to say, just the Bat books alone are and insane amount to read. I only read issue #0 and issue #1 of each book but it took me through the week. I won’t have such a heavy reading schedule this week, since I have other things that I need to work on, I won’t be able to waste my time on such, enjoyable, frivolities.
Either way, I’m back to updating this place since the sicknesses are gone. Sadly, Gabi is still a wee bit under the weather but as long as she rests, I am confident that she’ll be back up and running by the end of the week...I hope.
