so i've gotten back on the comics train, buying graphic novels by the bushel. i'm still a big fan of hero books, and of specific artists as well. For instance, the art for x-force vol 1 (the new x-force, not the cable one) just viscerally gets to me. when jimmy sticks a knife through a purifier's head, you feel it. i've also been reading x-factor (i love peter david), and new avengers (michael bendis can spin a nice yarn). it's weird, because i'm about 4 years behind on everything and trying to catch up. and stupid marvel -- they number their graphic novels for order, but then just leave it to the reader to discover when the continuity requires you to get one of their "storyline" graphic novels. oh well.
i've also been baffled by levi's. they drastically changed the fit of their 510s right when my old ones are getting holes in the crotch. what's up with that? do i need to change brands? (i'm a brand whore, as many appleites are). i got some 34x34s (what i wear usually), and couldn't even button the damn things. so i got some 36x34s, and could button them, but have elephant legs in them. it just seems so silly.
yet again i'm not going to the burn, but this year i don't think i really mind. i'll be in the hearts and minds of enough people who are going. and the depression probably has something to do with it. when i hit my upswing again (probably around the time of the burn) i'll probably be sad. so many friends, so much playtime.
the dog is doing alright. we've been trying to train him to go the whole day without going to the bathroom, but he just keeps pooping on the rug instead. our doggie daycare guy (he takes the dogs to dog parks and just lets them play for hours) is still gone, and we haven't been able to secure a dog walker. sometimes i can go home in the middle of the day, but the bus wait/ride is obnoxiously long. wanna come walk my dog? ;)
RAMBLE.
