I'm really missing having a computer, especially until this time next year. I'm waiting to hear back from another job, I'm so sick of chasing jobs all over the place. I long for some kind of dependability and nine to five routine that I could get settled into. if I get this job before the end of December, which I'm hoping for, it will mean...

these will be sparse, even more so than usual, because I have no internet access, no computer, no phoneline, I think you'll see the problem. Moving on.
So the Halloween party was okay, but not because of the party, but because of the people. Neil and I talked through the entire night, mostly about comic books and zombies, though his girlfriend seemed to have issues...

Lately I've been putting a lot of my time into a real live comics blog on wordpress under the same name I use everwhere else. If you want, you can read it here. I actually have grown to like reviewing, talk about and hunt down scans of the issues I'm obsessing over. I really need to get a scanner though, to move it up...

Tomorrow I have an interview for the highest paid and most life-influencing job I've ever had in my life. I'm really nervous. But I got a haircut.

I really want that first FF one and Morrison's x-men, but I can't find them anywhere. =/
Yeah, the haircut did work! Respectable citizenry and what not.

fedex just dropped off my new flash drive for my PC, but I've spent an hour trying to use it and I can't. I can't find the drivers I need to use it by searching the HP drivers site, so I tried using their auto detect function, but for auto detection you need to search for the right driver, which I couldn't find, so to...

Immeasurable bacteria, I flew through my comic stash in two sittings this week!
30 Days of Night: Eben and Stella #1
I would probably be better off just waiting for the trades, because they're cheaper and it would fit in with all of my other 30 DoN tpbs, but this series is just such a load of fun. In general the plots play out like...

the Boys #7 and the trade paperback are definitely out to. I unpacked them at work earlier.

you work at a comic shop? LUCKY
I ended up buying a set of Danelectro effects pedals along with a daisy chain and a pedal board/case for them and they showed up on Wednesday. I have been screwing around with them once a day for an hour or two, which has been great fun. I also bought a footswitch activated tuner by Danelectro, which as been pretty handy. So now I have...

How bout them comic books?
jeremeyes:
I'll be going on Friday to pick up the past two weeks worth, which will be exciting. I wish the 52 tpb came out this week instead of on the 30th though, I managed not to discover much of anything about the whole series, so the end will be a total surprise.
Friday I picked up comics from both shops, resulting in slightly less than thirty issues. I think I'll list them all here and perhaps I'll be motivated enough to talk about all of them once they're read, but I tend to stretch my reading out rather comfortably throughout the week, so Emo Boy and X-Men get mixed in with Dostoevsky and Pushkin time.

Thanks for all the reviews, it's great because for the most part it's titles I'm not reading and need to know about, but there's enough stuff we agree upon to let me know that I can take your recommendations. see you next entry.

Thanks! I managed to finally finish the generic reviews today. I think that, once I get the hand of this and have more time, they might get a little more detailed.
Afrodiary has been down for almost a month now and it's starting to get to me. I miss the community and the daily bitching. I should start writing here considerably more frequently.

My Illinois state tax return showed up in my checking account earlier in the week and, according to the math I just did, it showed up just in time to save my bank account from going negative. Last week's payday splurge was incredibly irresponsible and I'm still pretty damned ashamed that I wasted so much of my money in one day while endangering my finances...
