New Comic Day + Work Foo + Meme
Mar. 8th, 2006 03:09 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
newnumber6This week I actually only wound up getting 2 books.
New X-Men #24 (much better than previous issues, my Pick of the Week)
X-Men: The 198 #3 (let's just call this one 'okay'.)
I was originally scheduled to get Cable & Deadpool #26, and Teen Titans #33. Teen Titans I didn't get because it wasn't the One Year Later jump like I thought it was - I dropped it before and intended to pick it up OYL. So, that waits one more issue. With Cable & Deadpool, well, I'm not reading the Apocalypse arc in X-Men, so instead of a crossover, I'm doing a crossunder and dropping the book for these next two issues.
Full reviews for the two I got are at my comic reviews site for anyone interested.
For lunch I had another 'two double burgers for $2' from McD's. Work was okay, fast, they were there just a bit before I was again. I'd actually rather they be a tiny bit later. Not hugely much, but enough that I don't feel I have to rush getting my comics to get there in time.
Oh, and also a meme thingie from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
80sfiend...
1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.
'It stayed the same way at Yale'. Not very interesting, but oh well.
2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What can you touch?
The doornkob of my closet, and a bag hanging off the knob.
3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
News or half a Stargate SG-1 rerun
4. Without looking, guess what time it is:
2:34.
5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time?
I don't know. All of my clocks between 5 and 20 minutes before or after the actual time. Deliberately so (if the power goes off or something and I have to reset them, I deliberately set them 'off').
Although judging by what these clocks say, 2:34 is actually pretty damn close. Probably somewhere between 2:30 and 2:35.
6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
CNN on the TV
7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?
Going home from work. Probably about an hour and a half ago.
8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at?
My flist.
9. What are you wearing?
T-shirt and jeans.
10. Did you dream last night?
Yes.
11. When did you last laugh?
Aloud? Can't recall. Probably watching the teevee at some time.
12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?
Posters (Serenity, D&D, X2, generic fantasy), a big cloth wall-hanging of a lion's head poking out of a jungle. A wall-hanging thing of colored glass balls. Shelves (and by 'shelves' I mean 'milk crates full of books', and by 'on the wall' I mean 'leaning up against it')
13. Seen anything weird lately?
Well, today while I was heading to the subway station I saw a guy in a Santa hat. His back was to me, it just looked like he was a normal guy, in a jacket, wearing a Santa hat. When I passed him, I realized that his jacket was open, and he wasn't wearing a shirt. I passed him just as he was turning to someone else and saying 'Want to smoke a joint?'. Then someone across the street apparently recognized him and started making monkey noises.
All in all not _that_ weird, but probably the weirdest thing I've seen today.
14. What do you think of this quiz?
It's okay.
15. What is the last film you saw?
I saw League of Extraordinary Gentlemen on TV yesterday because I wanted to see how badly they mangled the source material. The answer is... pretty badly.
16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?
A gyro.
A secret volcano base with death ray.
That's about it, really.
In all seriousness, I probably wouldn't go nuts with it. Better computer, more DVDs, any book I wanted, etc.
17. Tell me something about you that I don't know.
I don't think you know anything about me, you're a quiz and lacking in the ability to store knowledge.
That said, many people don't know that I have a Dagget toy from the original BSG series sitting on one of my computers for no particular reason.
18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?
I'd give a small percentage of humanity superhuman powers like in comics (and include myself in that set). Yeah, I know it's lame, and if guilt were a factor and I had that ability I wouldn't do it, but you said no guilt.
19. Do you like to dance?
I don't dance.
20. George Bush:
Where? Crap, is he tapping my Livejournal, too? STAY OUT OF MY HYPOTHETICAL SECRET VOLCANO BASE WITH DEATH RAY OR I WILL HYPOTHETICALLY ZAP WASHINGTON.
21. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?
I dunno. Marie.
22. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?
Sir. Just to mess with him.
23. Would you ever consider living abroad?
I dunno, depends if I got everything I needed was there.
24. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gates?
'I'm sorry, I just really thought it'd be funny.'
Followed by 'Oh, don't worry, not believing I existed was an honest mistake, no harm no foul.'
Followed by 'You know, your description of the ideal afterlife was remarkably close to the mark, come on in and have fun.'
