Good to hear, but now I am curious what specific book you are on the hunt for. -M Conan the Barbarian #14, with Elric. After having a good think about it last night and checking prices for it on eBay, I've decided I'm just going to buy the second Conan Epic Collection so I have the story rather than keep hunting. Beat-up copies (things I would almost NEVER put in my collection) are $25 or more, while Fine copies push $75 or more. I can use an Amazon GC I got from a former employer and get the Epic for less than $30, which also gives me the option of selling the othet books in that collection (except the Red Sonja appearances, because I want to keep those). Then I have something nice and portable to take with me to read on vacation or to sit out on my deck, rather than worrying about the floppie. That's a good choice! Another option, more pricey but probably not overmuch, is Giant-Sized Conan #5, which reprints CtB 14 and 15 (minus a page or two). It also has a Jack Kirby cover, a rarity for a Conan book! edit: Nostalgiazone has a vgf copy going for ten bucks, which gives us an idea of what the book is currently worth. |

I saw King Kong vs. Godzilla. It was a fun popcorn movie.

Meanwhile, my son and his girlfriend came over Saturday night and we sat through the 4-hour Snyder cut JLA film.
Worth seeing if you like that sort of thing. I've never been big on live-action comic films, but I can't say that I want my 4 hours back. It was enjoyable and I was entertained.

I don't have to go to the movies. Those 2 overweight beeyotches work in my office and they fight over the same man.

Second dose of Pfizer is in my arm. My wife gets her second this week, too. What a relief.

I recently received an insulting email by a student who calls me unprofessional for disparaging the anti-vax movement... in my immunology class!!! Needless to say, despite the sting of the rebuke, I'll get vaccinated as soon as I can... which means later this week. |

Sounds like the student hasn't been vaccinated for infantile (mentality) paralysis either.

Received email update for my COVID vaccination this Saturday. Still on but changed from Johnson & Johnson one and done to Pfizer 1st shot with 2nd shot in 2 weeks. At least not Cancelled. Such is life.

Such is life. They really do that? I suppose they just want to conform to the manufacturer's directions, but since both the J&J and the Pfizer vaccines target the Spike protein, I'd expect one shot of each to do pretty much the same as two shots of either. |

Are they doing just one Pfizer up by you, RR? Moderna is two shots here, too. |

the J&J shot has been put on hold in USA by the CDC as they investigate a few cases of blood clots, and if they are tied to the J&J vaccine.
the chances of an issue are still minuscule, but still better safe than sorry. Moderna & Pfizer use a different process to manufacture, and don't have this issue. so glad they just moved you to a different supplier instead of cancelling.
odd they are saying 2 weeks tho. . timeline between Pfizer is supposed to be ~3 weeks (and ~4 for Moderna)
