misadventures in the world outside my living room, bizarre 90's comics
I told myself I wouldn't download enough to go over my limit this month and yet here I am, having tripped over the limit torrenting something last night, facing the prospect of being shaped to 64k for 11 days. Sigh.

♥ My hair has faded to a lighter reddish brown already but I think it suits me. Not too harsh for my ridiculously pale skin tone.

♦ Went out into the cold on Friday night to hang out with zanbam and reburta. As soon as we got into the first bar of the night we were hit on by a nigh incomprehensible drunk Irishman. There weren't many people out on the town, though. Must be because of the weather.

I met up with telcontar and geekinstinct today. We were going to go to the museum but, uh, stuff happened, so we went into the city to have lunch and look in nerd shops instead. Minotaur didn't have the volume of X-Factor I want in soft-cover, even though they have later volumes in TPB and the guy didn't even offer to order it for me (I mean, I could have asked but the people that work at that store generally act like they're not going to put effort into getting you to part with your money, so why should I bother when I can just go to a decent comics store in Chapel St instead?).

♠ I am sunburnt. Serves me right for thinking I could go without sunscreen for once.

♣ I was feeling nostalgic about bad 90's comics (because I grew up on those and I love them) so I downloaded a bunch. I had never read the X-Force '99 Annual before and it was going well enough until it got to them riding on logs and then I was just like 'what? what? how does that--? just what?' I was actually so confounded by the random cracktasticness of that that I actually voiced my confusion out loud.

Also, looking at early X-Force issues (why am I reading this? why can't I look away?) Liefeld was pretty fond of randomly giving the female characters O-face. Oh god, the pain, that on top of the anatomical wtf-ery.
