newnumber6This week I got just two books:
Avengers: The Initiative #1 (Surprisingly, my pick of the week, managed to endear me to new characters and some shocks)
Runaways #25 (Good, certainly, but after all the expectations it can't help but be a bit disappointing... still, it's JOSS WHEDON WRITING RUNAWAYS. That fact alone makes it worth picking up. Whedonmaniacs on my flist, take note!)
Full reviews up as usual at my comic reviews site for anyone interested.
Work was bleh. Truck was late and a heavier load, so didn't get home till almost 6. Bleh. Ah well. Saw Vinge's Rainbow's End in paperback finally, but I'm giving it 2 weeks to see if it shows up at the used bookstore - it's happened with a couple very new paperback releases recently.
Skipped lunch, had cheerios + brown sugar mini-wheats for breakfast. Walk was good, tiring, but good for the plotbunnies... managed to shape a seed of an short story idea into a little more of a plot.
In other news, I joined facebook on a whim this weekend. Looked up some people I went to school with. Then, weird coincidences started happening. First, not an hour after I signed up, apparently someone i used to talk with on IRC randomly searched me and friended me. Then, the next morning, my mom apparently signed up to facebook for the first time, and also friended me. I had no conversation with her, we just both joined up within 1 day of each other. Weird. I don't care much for the interface though, so much prefer LJ for blogging my thoughts and updating on my status, but I'll keep the facebook account for keeping up with and randomly reuniting with older acquaintences.
