newnumber6New Comic Day!
This week I got:
Daredevil #65 (Okay, bit gimmicky though)
Dr. Spectrum #2 (okay)
Guardians #4 (ehh, not feeling the series, but almost over)
Outsiders #16 (Best of the lot for change in the status quo, but only fairly good)
X-Men #162 (It's Austen. But my Xorn theory continues to be verified! ;))
I also picked up (on account of my store having a sale), but haven't read, The League of Extraordinary Gentleman, Vol 2, and Batman: Death and the Maidens, in TPB form.
Full reviews are, of course, at The Unreachable Star - http://www.unreachablestar.net
At the used bookstore, I picked up "The Cassandra Complex", by Brian Stableford, and "Falling Free" by Lois McMaster Bujold (A Hugo or Nebula award winning novel. Can't remember which)
Also had a Gyro and Charity Subway Pizza. But while I was walking to the subway station, I unwrapped my gyro and a guy, probably a teenager, saw and/or smelled it and asked me how much it was and where I got it. Since I was less than a block away, I told him and pointed it out. So, I spread the word of the Gyro! ;)
Then, work. Bleh.
Well, the other guy who's supposed to do it with me didn't show up, so I had to do it on own for a bit, and a bit of time with a hasty replacement. Add to that the delivery people were in a rush, so we were trying to get it done as soon as soon as we could (although the delivery also had an extra person to help. However, since the other guy wasn't there, they also didn't have anyone to do the second truck, which was running late (and carries stuff for the freezer only). So, the manager asked me if I'd do it, and he'd pay me for another delivery truck. Okay. Unfortunately, it took an hour and a half to show up, so I was just left cooling my heels. When it finally showed up, it only took something like half an hour though. So, not bad for 50 bucks. Works out to about 25 an hour if you count the waiting, or 20 an hour if you count the waiting,t ime, and pay for the first truck too.
Also got to hang in my 'perch' some more and freak out a couple more people. Okay, I admit it, I'm amused to be able to startle people.
