Free Comic Book Day!

[newnumber6]

Well, for me it was, at least. Why? Because as I was walking from work to the comic store, and reading my book while walking as I normally do, my attention was caught by something on the sidewalk ahead of me. There was, lying in a tiny puddle of water (it'd been raining) was a $20 bill! Woot! Nobody around who looked like they might have dropped it, so I picked it up and used it to buy my comics.

This week I got two books:

New Mutants #4 (not bad, maybe a tiny bit lacking punch as a conclusion, but solid)
Runaways #13 (Worst of the Immonen arc so far)

Full reviews as usual at my comic reviews site for anyone interested.

Also, since I had the extra cash and was hungry, on the way home, I bought a gyro. A Lamb gyro, because it was the only store I've seen in a while that advertises it as an option on the sign outside (I'm sure more offer it, but if I can't see it outside I wouldn't go in to look). It was pretty good, only problem is the guy considered lettuce (and, oddly, a few french fries) as part of the standard gyro build. Lettuce does not work with a gyro, IMHO, it kind of dilutes the flavour. Fries wasn't bad, it just soaked up tzatziki juice. But anyway, it was still a gyro, just not the best I've had.

Work was okay, but rainy a bit which isn't the funnest to work in.

W00t! That was a lucky find.

I don't think I've ever had a gyro without lettuce... How strange. I don't mind it, as long as the lettuce is crispy and shredded. Then again, I've got no basis for comparison.

Yeah, I guess different places make it differently. I've had lettuce once or twice before and, I don't know, it just doesn't work for me. For me, even tomatoes... they're good, but they kinda dilute the gyro-ness a little. I'll usually take them, but I'll never complain if they're not there either.

Just meat, onions, and tzatziki are what I see as the basic gyro build. If I can get them I'll add hot peppers sometimes, too. But that's me. :)
