time seems to be flying by lately. I think it's having two jobs and working 75 hours a week, that probably subtracts any semblance of slow motion living left in my life. I need to force myself to start sleeping more or I'm going to get really sick. I think I probably only slept about 12 hours last week. I've managed to pick up a...

I just got my tickets and hotel reservation email for wizard world chicago! I'm so excited even though I'll probably be alone most of the time. I practically never go on vacation and I requested 6 days off for this, so I hope it's good. At the very least I can get some relaxation and some reading done the day before and after. Now I...

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.

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...

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...

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.

Astonishing X-Men...
