Books and comics and OMG WINTER
Jan. 7th, 2013 07:27 pmIt's only a week into January and I finished my first book of the year. Ha! Er, usually I'm closer to having finished two at this stage. OH WELL.
I mean, it's not like I'm not reading. There's been a lot of fanfic to read. And also comics. My entire "must read Marvel Civil War" thing has been justified by the first page of issue #1 of the new New Avengers. It references a big *thing* that happened in the early stages of that arc. See? See? Told you reading all of that would be important!
Speaking of, my hold on Civil War: Spider-man just activated so I should have that to read by the weekend.
Just after I read Amazing Spider-man #700, which I had to pick up just to find out why the Internet exploded over it.
I'm looking at the long-range forecast and apparently my next Friday off will have a snow storm. Ugh. That forecast is still nearly two weeks out, though, so it could still change. Right? I could still get over to the city to pick up a massive comics haul that day, couldn't I? Er.
It looks like this is the week when winter finally gets fierce. My drive to work today was horrible and I suspect there will be a fair bit of working from home in my future. I got to witness a near accident up close and personal when a van lost control on the highway. Thankfully he didn't go into my lane and the other drivers were able to avoid him as he slid across theirs. THIS IS WHY I DON'T DRIVE ON BAD MORNINGS. It's not just that I'm not a confident driver in snow/ice (although that's a big part of it, but there are other drivers causing accidents even when I'm managing to drive in a straight line. Ugh, winter.
I also dumped half a bag of safety salt on my drive today to make it safe for me to walk. So I'll have to remember to buy more salt when I'm at the store next. Blargh, salt. The cats are going to be licking my shoes constantly for the next two months.
Can I have the kind of winter back that's incredibly cold but dry? Please?
