Went comic'ing today with Ash and Nate! Here's what I got:
The Walking Dead, tpb 8 (ZOMG, insane!) The Boys : Get Some, tpb 2 Invincible Eight Is Enough, tpb 2 Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Demo
The last one, Demo, intregues me. It's a collection of twelve stories, and I know absolutely nothing about it. I like buying stuff just to see what it's all about. That's how I discovered every awesome comic I love now :D
Also, went to Best Buy so I could buy a scanner to scan in some of the stuff I've been drawing lately. Something I learned? They don't sell just scanners anymore. No, they bundle them up into those 'all-in-one' packets that while convenient for most everyday stuff is TERRIBLE for comic illustrators and those who use larger pages to draw on!
The way they build the new AIO (hereafter condensed to meet the needs of we on-the-go types) things is to have the scanner part open length wise, with the wider part (the length of a regular page) being the part that is hinged. The way I NEED my scanner to work is to have it open width wise, where the narrower part of the scanner opens-- this is so I can do half the page at a time properly. It's a bitch and a half to do it otherwise, and doesn't get the whole image.
I have a scanner down in Cali, so Nate told me to just have my mom ship it up here. Dumb bastage and his smarts... So, yeah, now I have to wait and hope that the two awesome illustrations I've done the past few days doesn't get utterly destroyed-- it's happened before (in fact, one of the drawings is a redo of one that was destroyed and subsequently lost).
Aaaaanyway, enough of the bitching. Let me talk about the hot guys. Best Buy seems to have a Hooters mentality of hiring guys-- they have to all be hot (or old, for some reason. No middle ground it seems). Even one of the customers was way hot-- one of those masculine but trendy queers with ironic beards and gay shoes that make me wish we were I actually cared enough about shoes to say something to him like "Oh my god, are those -insert something fabulous-?"
We'd totally be making out right now. Seriously.
Also, I bought an anime series called Noein: To Your Other Self. It's one of those 'Let's make up horrible soul-crushing scenarios and cast the main characters as twelve-year-olds!' sort of shows, it seems. None of my roommates know anything about it, none of us know if it's good, but it was thirty-five bucks so of course I bought it. I just got paid, didn't I?
AND lastly: as those of you who know me in any way know, I'm a slow reader. Love books, but I take my time with them. Then I bought this book Hero a few days ago and... let's just say I started reading it and couldn't put it down. Yesterday I was up to page 100-something out of 428 at around six in the afternoon, and around seven in the morning I had finished (allotting about two/three hours worth of extracurricular activities like dinner and drawing). I fucking stayed up until SEVEN in the MORNING to finish this book.
Needless to say, I loved it. Hell, it actually made me gay-cry three times. Expect a full review this weekend over at DoorQ.com. Also, another review to look forward for is of the band Slow Mo Erotic's album, The HOLLA!caust. Expect glowing reviews for both of these :D
Y'know, for me expecting to finish this post after listing the comics I sure got wordy.
