HockeyPlayed a little hockey last night. Good guys win 6 - 0. Our defense played a hell of a game and Cliff stood on his head. Awesome game. It was nice after the game to get a bunch of ice time to practice.
On to next Saturday for some undermanned fun.
BooksI just finished Turn Coat by Jim Butcher, The eleventh Dresden Files book. I liked it. I was a little disappointed in at least one character turn that occurred. The book was good but I was sad to see someones character changing so drastically. On to Steel Gauntlet, the third book in the Star Fist series. Only the paragon of literature will be discussed here ladies and gentlemen.
ComicsI haven't had a chance to mention the time I spent at SPX. I went to get
Matt Kindt's new book 3-Story and while accomplishing that felt sort of like I didn't belong at all at that con. I was never able to meet Kate Beaton from
Hark A Vagrant and didn't realize who
David Mazzucchelli was or that I should be reading Asterios Polyp. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that is the first comic convention I felt out of place at. By the way 3-Story was pretty much bad ass, much like the rest of
Matt Kindt's work.
Received my latest shipment of comics last Tuesday. I've had to make some cuts to my pull list due to needing to conform to a comics budget. (Yes, I know I spend way to much money on this stuff.) Any way I will not be reading a lot of the books on this list due to the great purge of Ought Nine.
