And that was what my day was like... Thank you for the kind birthday wishes everyone! And thank lots for the luverly virtual gifts that are sitting pretty in my profile page :D Birthdays used to be something I dreaded for years, and happily yesterday was not the case.
Also, I have $20 in store credit at my LCS! Brilliant news as I am quite broke D: Haven't the faintest of what to purchase, partly because I will be putting up all of my comics on eBay in a few weeks. I'm moving away in December, and will not be able to bring anything that won't fit into my suitcase with me. So it's gotta be good, and it's gotta be something that I can stash with me. If only my LCS sold the Wildcat action figure I've been lusting over for months! That would solve my problem.
I finally was able to watch Good Hair, which I enjoyed tremendously. Y'know, it was me and two older white ladies in the theatre, and I had wondered what they thought of the documentary. It's not meant to be an extensive immersion into the discussion of Black hair (I know I really wanted to know more about natural hair styles, for instance) but perhaps even then it might come as a surprise to non African-Americans. Like the scientist who appeared flabbergasted that people would put the active ingredient in many relaxers on their hair. Or the amount of money it takes for a weave's upkeep. Hair in the African-American community is such a complex issue with many fascinating conundrums, and I would easily recommend it.
And awkward subject matter change -- Halloween and NaNo are just around the corner, folks! Can you feel it? :D
