newnumber6Yay, comics weren't delayed this week due to Thanksgiving. Wasn't sure when I left. Anyway, this week I got:
Captain Britain and MI13 #6 (my Pick of the Week, although a bit weaker than normal issues)
NYX: No Way Home #3 (still doesn't feel much like the original NYX, but I'm sticking with it for now)
Uncanny X-Men #503 (this series really isn't doing it for me).
Work was okay, but a bit late and heavier than normal, so meh. Tiring.
So, Canadian election yesterday, Conservative Minority. Not as good as I'd hoped (they made gains), but better than I thought they were heading in the early stages of the election (where it looked like a Conservative Majority was certain). Glad the NDP made some gains, though I wish they were at the expense of the Conservatives rather than the Liberals. I suppose maybe it'll be okay, gives the Liberals time to get a new leader (I really think Dion failed to connect to people and get his message across) and come back next time. On the whole though a big waste of money and we'll probably be back to the polls in 2 years, I'd imagine - Harper has already shown he has trouble playing nice with others in a minority government, even when the majority of Canadians are voting ABC (Anybody BUT Conservatives, for the non-Canadians on the flist) - last minority he should have demonstrated leadership and worked with the other parties to get things done, instead he forced the other parties to either vote his way or trigger another useless expensive election. I figure he'll probably do the same this time. Oh well, at least it's over and I don't have to listen to the stupid attack ads anymore (of course, the Conservatives were willing to run them long before any elections were called)
