Unabashed Consumerist Frenzy
Yay, the weekend arrives. I don’t know what I’ll be doing with mine exactly, other than washing some dishes, perhaps playing some music, perhaps seeing a movie, and undoubtedly watching some Kids in the Hall. Good times. Certainly better times than working late on super busy days at the sign shop. Whoooooooeeeeeee.
I’ve got a lot of comics to read too. I just tore through the Sleeper: All False Moves trade, and the first issue of Sleeper: Season Two, which were both excellent, excellent, and excellent. I spent too much on comics on Thursday (after some enthusiastic upselling from my friendly neighborhood comics clerk), and I have a package of stuff coming from Mile High comics in the next few days. I’ll finally have the last issue of the Maxx! Hooray and rejoice! I also have or will have shortly: Transmetropolitan: Back on the Street, Powers Vol. 2 #1, Scratch #1-2, a bunch of Jamie Hernandez’s Penny Century comics, a couple issues each of Street Angel and Bi-Polar, Y: the Last Man #24, and X-Statix #24 (the penultimate issue?).
I also did a lot of piracy this weekend, swapping music and movies and software via firewire drives with Keith. My Mp3 albums folder is becoming pretty bloated, and that can only be a good thing. I also acquired some albums the old fashioned, retail-based way (Squarepusher’s Hard Normal Daddy, Son Volt’s Wide Swing Tremolo and Morrissey’s Viva Hate).
Yay consumerism.
I missed another From Monument to Masses show, which sucks quite a bit. I haven’t seen them play in soooooo damn long, and they’re gonna be jetting off to the Old World this summer, so I probably won’t have another chance until the fall. Ah well. Next time (he says again)…
More later, when I have something of interest to talk about.
