Boy, just when you thought circumstances can't get any more unhappy.

Germaine is Rebecca's best friend. Two of Germaine's friends came into town Tuesday evening and Rebecca offered them crash space, and, unexpectedly, they brought a dog. I'm not certain who opened the door, but someone let the dog into the room where they'd moved Arya, this quite wonderful rabbit Rebecca's had for years, and...

My kids' mom came into town this morning to pick them up for Thanksgiving. They'll be gone a whole week.

I just hate it when they're gone. The house is sad and empty without my children.

And man, did she ever stink of cigarette smoke. Her bf must smoke like a chimney. Ah well, they do live in Kentucky, after all. I think that state...

Its time again for another Weekly Comics Hype. Im doing these alphabetically, but skipping around a bit, and today begins three weeks of green. Kevin Smith found an excellent outlet for his creativity when he took the reins of a revamped, relaunched Green Arrow title in 2001. The character of Oliver Queen, a loudmouthed uber-liberal with a sideline in conspiracy theories and distrust for many...

Well, today I had to clean up a dead squirrel at the bottom of my yard, and I broke up with my girlfriend because I couldn't take any more of her using and mistreating me. I'd like to think the latter was a little empowering, but really, this has been a genuinely horrible day.

We had a very good Movie Night party last night. Escape to Witch Mountain remains an eminently watchable and incredibly entertaining film, despite some badly dated composite special effects, and the children all loved it. (This is not the case with the horrible sequel. Dont confuse the two!!)

This has been one of the weirder illnesses I've suffered. My short-term memory and my sense of time is all screwed up. I can remember the "sick" feeling hitting me like a truck Sunday evening as I turned onto 316 from Dacula - I'd driven Rebecca to her parents' house - and wheezing it off, but I don't remember driving home. I got back around...

I don't know whether anyone's reading my SuicideGirls journal yet, but I do a Weekly Comics Hype on LJ and recommend a new book each week. There's an Amazon link to the book for ease of ordering, but I also recommnend you give your local comic shop a try, because I'm a nerd about supporting local businesses.

Its time again for another Weekly Comics Hype....

How sad. DC has released their January solicitations, confirming that the final issues of both Plastic Man and The Losers will ship that month. At least I still have Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers into the spring, and his and Frank Quitely's bi-monthly Superman book coming...

It's strange that so much of my comics purchases have moved over to trades only. Dan Slott is writing a...
