"...sometimes you wake up. sometimes the fall kills you. and sometimes when you fall, you fly."
--neil gaiman, fear of flying
(as printed in fables and reflections - i don't know if it was originally printed in an actual comic or not.)
i drove an hour to worcester today to (basically) get my copy of demo signed by becky cloonan, who drew it, and to tell hilary b price, who writes and draws rhymes with orange, how much i like her strip. it's a. very cute, and b. clearly done by someone who has dogs. and i bought two little prints from tara mcpherson, illustrator and comic book cover artist.
...if you don't read comics you have no idea who i'm talking about. even if you do read comics you might not have any idea who i'm talking about. i guess it depends what you read. demo is a trade paperback - the series was twelve issues but i didn't know about it until the trade came out. it's about normal people with weird powers. kind of. it's really good.
(that's entertainment, which is a comic store in worcester, had a women in comics signing today. which is why i drove an hour in the rain to get there. also it got me out of the house. :D )
i have a weather-induced headache and i feel like i've spent too much time in my own head lately. is that weird? i think that's weird. i mean, it's not like i never leave the house or never talk to other people or anything. (dude, today i talked to strangers, and also the guy working at my local comic shop. he googled that neil quote for me because neither of us could remember where it was from.) but i still think i spend too much time in my own head. maybe i need more people to talk to more often - or more people to talk to me - i dunno. i'm going to try the diesel in an hour or so, on the theory that if i can't get out of my head, at least i can get out of my house.
