New Comic Day!
Jul. 5th, 2007 02:50 pmThis week I got three books.
Loners #4 (a little unsubtle in places, but like some of the development)
New Warriors #2 (enjoying the series and concept, bit of worries about the pace)
Runaways #27 (my Pick of the Week, some nice developments an enjoyed the plot)
Full reviews up as usual at my comic reviews site for anyone interested.
I also picked up Otherland, book 1 by Tad Williams, and Seeker, by Jack McDevitt (won Nebula award).
Today is Thursday of course, comics were delayed due to Canada Day (they were not delayed due to Independence Day because if it wasn't for our holiday our shops would have already received the comics and are still open on Wednesdays). And a good thing, too, because work was annoying. Supposedly we're shifting over to do my part of the job in the mornings, but this week it was delayed until 1 pm, and I was there since 6:30 or so. Well, except at around 11 they phoned and said '2 more hours' and I was done my book and so I went home, ate lunch (sausages, mashed potatoes, and beans), got a new book, and went back to work almost immediately, arriving only a few minutes before they got there. If I had to go get comics on top of that, I would have been even more tired.
Lunch today was meatloaf, peas and corn, and kraft dinner (spirals), for those wondering. For those still wondering, since my brother works nights now we eat our big meal at around lunchtime for me, since they don't like eating right after waking up and I don't care when I eat, so long as I do.
Oh, and Dream Foo! A Doctor Who dream. Modern who, but with a special Guest from Who Past!
( Read more... ) I was pretty pleased with it, as dreams go. I've tossed around similar ideas before consciously, but usually when they wind up in my dreams they get mangled beyond useable condition, whereas this one could fly pretty well as is.
