Well so much for resolution # 1. Ive started working on completing my collection of Amazing Spider-Man comics from issues 100 and up. Im doing good too, I just need to fill in thirty odd issues between #345 to 438. And my good friend has offered to sell me his collection of Spidey comics which consists of many, many expensive comics from issues 100 and up. For the grand total of something like 1,000 smackaroos. Give or take, payable as the money becomes available.
Am I crazy? Yes. But then you knew that from the start, didnt you?

Also I bought and started reading The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: A Trilogy In Five Parts. This is going to be an awesome book, I just know it. How do I know? Because this is how it begins
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.
Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: Most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasnt the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
And so the problem remained; lots of people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.
Many were increasingly of the opinion that theyd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should have ever left the oceans.
And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small caf in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.
Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, a terrible stupid catastrophe occurred, and the idea was lost forever.
This is not her story.
But it is the story of that terrible stupid catastrophe and some of its consequences.
Total awesomeness.
Thats all for today folks. Ive got stuff to be selling on ebay so I can pay for my Spider-Man comics, not to mention that its a bit chilly sittin here where only two feet and a wall separate me from minus thirty degree weather.
Heres wishing I had a sweet girlfriend to cuddle up with, that, or warmer socks.
