And Freedom Tastes Of Reality.....

Feeling much, much better this morning. I actually turned to pills last night, I was in such bad shape. I pretty much stayed on the couch with an artful construction of pillows under my neck and back to try and ease the pain. I watched VH1 Rock Honors The Who, which was great.

I may not like The Flaming Lips terribly much, but their Tommy Medley was absolutely amazing. And Tenacious D covering Squeezebox was well worth the watching.

Tomorrow I am apparently going on a 'Girls' Day' with my mother, sister and nieces. While Girls' Days with family don't terribly appeal to me, I've been promised a stop at Barnes and Nobles and a bit of cash with which to purchase things from there. Hoping to pick up the next trade of Fables, volume two of Pet Shop of Horrors: Tokyo and the next VHD book.

And I really need to find out who around here will be carrying The Stand come September. We do have a comics shop, but it's kind of out of the way - even for us. But it is near my sister, so maybe I can work something out with her. She knows my love both of graphic novels and of The Stand.

I really do have a hell of a lot to do today, since I won't be around tomorrow, but I fell behind RPing last night. :/ Ah wel, I'll just have my lunch break....before I even start.

I have a freezer full of frozen paninis and piroshkis. This makes me happy.

The Stand, eh? This I had not yet heard of. They did some Gunslinger stuff last summer/fall, but, er. I wasn't that fond. Despite really beautiful art, and a great comics writer. It just didn't adapt well. Maybe The Stand'll be better. Who's writing it, do you know?

If you can't find a way to get your hands on it, let me know. I should have no trouble finding it.

Oh! I discovered it beginning of the month and have been squeeing madly ever since!

It's being written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Stephen King himself. King actually approached Marvel first about it, because he wants to see this done.

It's going to be kind of epic - all 5 arcs, 35 issues each. I have the sketchbook of preview art and it looks incredible at least, and both the artists and writer are huge fans of the novel, so.... *crosses fingers*
