Willow ,'Empty Places'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hey, how did your salads hold up?
They would have been amazing, except they got pushed to the back of the fridge and froze! So I didn't eat the cucumbers yesterday, but otherwise, everything was fine. It was a good call, and I should do it again this weekend.
Oh, good!
After many, many years, I set up a new comic book hold at the store Hubby used to manage. It's weird to have employees there who don't know him. With the Marvel reboots on so many series, I'm picking up several Avengers titles. It was wonderful fun to pick up my hold, then go to lunch to read and eat. I don't think I can go digital, unless I get a very big screen to view them on, because the page layouts often require you to be able to see both pages at once to get the full effect. I got a couple of odd looks at lunch--a 55-year-old woman reading comic books!--but it makes me feel a little more connected to the world.
The last comic book store near me in Brooklyn closed a few months ago, and now I have to go into Manhattan to buy the only ongoing floppy comic that I still get, Saga. I'm thinking of just subscribing by mail for it.
A 17 year old student at the high school across from me captures a lot of my feelings on the latest mayoral contender. [link] That said, I know I will not be voting for any of the current office holders or old guard for mayor (Dixon, uhg.) I've often mused I'd like to scrap everyone, even the good ones, in favor of starting over. This might be the closest I get to that.
I really like the comic book store by me, I would like to actually support them but I lack discipline in keeping up with periodical anything and in managing my paper format literature.
We have a great comic shop near me. I stopped buying comics when I lost my last job and haven't gotten back into a regular pull yet. The shop is near my favorite bar, so I use to occasionally get comics and then read them over cocktails. That was nice.
That does sound nice.
I am so tired. Work, then school event. I may have mentioned earlier? And not nearly enough alcohol but I'm so tired and mentally spun maybe I shouldn't be drinking. Wish I liked pot.
It looks like I get a total of 4 days off this month.
