The morning started well enough, trended bad, picked up again, went South again and now seems back to mediocrity, pending reactions.

( The details are trivial and pointless. The reasons, as always, purely human ones. )

I woke up early this morning. Last year for Free Comic Book Day I was in Seattle because studiofoglio was at a shop in Seattle. duaiwe and I got a late start and I missed out on picking up the Atomic Robot / Neozoic free issue published by Red5. This year I didn't want to repeat that mistake ( Read more... )

Reading webcomics on Sunday morning, I read this Something Positive comic and followed the footnote text to HeroByNight.com and read through a half dozen or so pages, then said to myself "Man! You shoulda picked up this comic's FCBD book yesterday ( Read more... )

So, for the details about the obstacles I mentioned yesterdayThe day seemed normal enough until I got on the road. After about an hour of driving, my boss calls me to say they found a bug that we thought had been fixed. It turned out to be a bug that had been identified and a fix had been found and I thought created, but something must have ( Read more... )

Work was pretty mild. Bought lunch on my way to work so ate at the office. Didn't get much work done, but also only took a half hour, so I got to leave earlier.

Got home and made a phone call I'd been meaning to make for a couple days. The short version of the story is, I have a date for dinner on Tuesday. :)

I went to Best Buy on the way home, intending to pick up Nightmare Before Christmas and Phone Booth.

I found neither.

But, I did find Space Above and Beyond (complete series), Unbreakable, Love Actually (quiet, I enjoyed it when I saw it on TV) and Mirrormask.

I ordered some comics from Mile High Comics last week and for some reason chose UPS ( Read more... )

For some reason I didn't update the comics list when I got back from ACen ... and since I got some more comics the other day, I figured I'd update The List.

Addtions are:
Niles the Demon Intern
and
Frank Miller's Sin City Volumes 1-7

So, yesterday, while avoiding doing my Chinese homework / studying for the test, I read books 3 and 4 of Niles: Demon Intern, having purchased the four available books and a poster from Dan himself at ACen last month. I read the first two books while waiting for the train, and didn't get around to reading the second two until yesterday (and now I' ( Read more... )
