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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It looks like I get a total of 4 days off this month.

Not nice, aurelia.
~ma to all that need it. I've been sort of keeping up, but every time I think about posting, the work fairy poops on my desk.
I bought myself snapdragons today for surviving the week. One of my coworkers from India will be in the office on Monday, and the coworker on vacation will be back on Wednesday, so there is an end in sight to my 12 hour work days. I need to take some vacation days to unwind, but not while coworker is visiting from so far away.
I'm gonna do the Molly Weasley Ugly Jumper Run 5K tomorrow even thought I technically already completed it many times over already.
