New Comic Day + Other Foo

newnumber6This week I got 4 books:
Birds of Prey #99 (despite myself I find myself liking the 'new Batgirl')
Cable & Deadpool #33 (usual level of quality for the title)
Runaways #21 (my Pick of the Week, can't wait to see how it goes from the closing)
X-Factor #12 (less enthused with this issue than the last, but there's still a pretty cool moment)
Full reviews up as usual at my comic reviews site for anyone interested.
Also picked up a copy of Ilium, by Dan Simmons, at the used book store, because, well, used bookstores are like catnip to me... they do nothing for me, but stone my cat. No, wait. Uhm, they're like potato chips, I can't stop at just one! Well, that's almost true, but not what I'm going for. They're like popcorn, delicious, and better salted.
...
I'm sorry, my similies seem to be on the fritz today, check back later.
The point is that I saw it in a used bookstore, so I got it.
For lunch I had the last of the turkey salad from Thanksgiving, in sandwich form.
And of course did the long walk thing today (though didn't walk all the way home from work). Most of the time during the walk my mind was composing replies to this thread on Newsarama which started with a simple question but then turned into a debate about copyright and the necessity of the public domain. I couldn't resist, because that topic is actually one of very few issues that I care passionately about, think there is 100% a right side and a wrong side, and yet I always feel that for some inexplicable reason I'm in the minority (well, considering people who are opposed and the much larger number of people who simply don't care or think about it at all as the same 'side', since they're usually a large number of "don't cares" leads to the other side winning more easily. The other issue like that that comes to mind is, of course, AI rights (I'm pro, as all of you should be. It doesn't matter if there's no AIs yet). Anyway, I don't generally get into online arguments (even civil ones like this one has been so far)... I dunno, I always have this feeling that I'm really bad at arguing. Here though I think I've done a fairly good job, at least in my own opinion.
Oh, and I seem to have developed a spontaneous new friend, so hello!
