Especially a longbox of Heavy Metal! Unless they suddenly are making magazine sized long boxes, you need to take better care of your Heavy Metal issues, RR, folding them to fit in the long box only works if you're melting them first, and that makes them unreadable...(not to mention that the blowtorch might ignite all that glorious Moebius art...) But I suppose if you continue to chase hot books its makes a kind of sense, as those issues would be red hot (or on fire) -M (admits I may have watched too many episodes of Forged in Fire while recovering from surgery...)

The past 24 hours has really sucked. First I found out my June rent check still hasn't been processed (though as far as my landlords are concerned, my rent was paid on time and in full.) Then Century Link cancelled my landline service, allegedly at my request. My medic alert system requires a landline; without it, I can't safely live by myself. Of course I didn't notice until after their customer service unit shut down for the night so I spent all night tossing and turning and tormenting myself with scenarios of fire, break-ins, health emergencies, etc. And just a few minutes ago, I watched a mouse climb down the curtain of my office window and disappear into what I presume is a hole in the wall behind my old drawing board. I've been hearing gnawing in the walls for weeks but this is the first confirmation of my suspicions. Wonderful. Things had better improve today or I'm going to explode.
Cei-U! I summon the aggravation!

Days like that were made to test us, I'm sure. I hope today will see a distinct improvement! Mice in the walls are a very annoying problem. Their litter smells terrible, too. Time for traps and poison!

I summon the aggravation! very sorry to read this. there are few things more scary than the assurance of prompt medical aid, and a wee beastie in the walls only adds to the emotional upset.

Today I walked into my LCS and cancelled my pull list and I'm also joining the Overtime List in my job. I have to squeeze every penny and save money to rewire my entire electrical system for my House. It's long overdue.

So when is the Politics thread getting unlocked? When I can learn to behave. So probably never.

(And that's not meant as a dig at anyone else's posts.) Not to bring the politics thread in here...because that way lies madness...but I'm biased. On the other hand, I try really hard to call out hypocrisy and silliness across the political spectrum. Apparently I'm not always successful.

This looks interesting: "Some colleagues and I are currently running another online psychology experiment about comics, inference, and personality. We're trying to get a fairly broad sample, so if you’re interested, please participate and share. www.visuallanguagelab.com/participate.htmlThanks very much! ------ Neil Cohn Ph.D. Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication Tilburg University www.visuallanguagelab.com "

Update: (with our son). Overall it is going well. Still some frustrating behaviors at times. Sometimes our life feels like the Cleavers adopted Bart Simpson

So my vacation starts tomorrow afternoon. 4 weeks of thinking about stuff other then work. Its going to be awesome. Part of my goal for the summer is getting a lot of my unread pile read which so far includes absolute Batman incorporated, Flash by Mark Waid book two, 100 bullets book 1 and a whole lot of The Spirit issues. Looking forward to it.
