03/17/2006: "Random bits"

Song of the Day: Reina - Find Another Woman

Warning: sheer rambling from an exhausted mind ahead.

From the comment on the previous entry, I seem to be boring people with my lack of updates. I spent the last week in Los Angeles enjoying the warmer, but not quite warm, weather, along with an overnight trip to Las Vegas (nothing prettier in this world than driving through the desert at sunset). On my uncle's whim, I now suddenly have highlights and bangs, the latter of which was unexpected and a little strange. I've been tossing my head every five seconds to try to get them out of my eyes.

I had some very cool packages awaiting me when I walked in the door this evening, including an autographed copy of SHeDaisy's newest CD, and an autographed and numbered copy of Amber Benson and Christopher Golden's Ghosts of Albion: Initiation (to match my autographed copy of their Ghosts of Albion: Accursed). This proves that if you're one of my favorite people and you want me to buy your product right away, rather than waiting for a few months, all you have to do is offer to sign it and I'll be all over it.

Other books purchased this week include: Christopher Golden's The Myth Hunters (part 2 not out until spring 2007? EVIL.), Douglas Preston's The Codex, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's Dance of Death, and Alan Moore's V for Vendetta. I read V on the plane, and all I can hope is that the movie trailers haven't lulled me into a false hope of an excellent movie translation. I didn't enjoy V as much as Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but that's probably because League had the dryest, wittiest humor, whereas V is virtually humorless.

I need a sugar daddy to buy me more books and comics. Please?

I'm so sick of travelling that I'd take a stand and refuse to step foot inside airports for an entire year, but I have to head back to Midway tomorrow to pick up the n3rd. So much for my conviction; at least I don't have to actually get on the airplane.

I will hopefully be writing again soon with my actual thoughts on the movie version of V, since the n3rd and I hope to see it this weekend. Everyone cross your fingers that it won't be a disappointing pile of gunk like the movie version of League was!

Ha ha, Babs, if the n3rd bought me comics, he'd end up keeping them for himself.

That was -all- you did this last week? Hell, I delivered a freakin' baby.

I'd have rather been buying comics.

Last week I slept a lot... and packed. I'm exciting.

But you were packing to come see ME! That's exciting! 'Cause of the ME part!
