Annoyed at Newbury Comics... again
Oct. 23rd, 2010 02:12 pmI think in terms of comic buying I'm going to have to start trekking down to Kenmore Square, since yet again the Newbury Comics over in Fanueil Hall didn't have Birds Of Prey. It's one of the best selling books out there, and they don't carry it, instead they have the goddamn Rise of Arsenal series which was universally panned as a piece of shit (among other things it killed a little Asian girl just to make her father angst)! I also refuse to believe that it's simply not selling considering that it's in its second or third printing everywhere else, and it definitely sells in Kenmore.
So I'm annoyed, and can't help but wonder if there's some latent sexism since it's one of the few books out there where the majority of the characters are female. They also didn't carry any of the collections of it, which is once again an eyebrow raiser. They also didn't even have Batwoman, a book I already own, that was near universally praised and sold very very well. It's irking. So I'll just have to travel to get my comics.

Because I do:
I can't really explain what his voice does to me, but damn. With this song it almost feels spiritual. It also reminds me of this time of year when it's just a little chilly out.
So yeah. ♥

More cooking adventures
Oct. 23rd, 2010 07:37 pmI wound up with a lot of cilantro from last week that I bought for white-bean chili, so in trying to use it up I found a recipe online that uses it for chicken, and I'm cooking it now.
It smells delicious! I can't wait until it's done, and I've got to wait another half hour. I'm also making some couscous with chicken broth and some peas.
And just in case you're interested here's the recipe (I obviously modified the amounts of stuff since it's just me here right now). I added it to my handwritten recipe card collection as well.

Stupid titles
Oct. 23rd, 2010 08:06 pmSo I was filling out stuff on my NaNoWriMo page and the info on my story I realized that the title I have for it is really, really old and from a time when the story was much different.
For one thing the main character was actually the son of two characters from the current one, and this story actually started as an idea for a prequel before I'd ever written anything down, and eventually it usurped my headspace and became my main focus. At this point I don't know if I'll ever get to their son since I have to finish his parents' story first!
So the working title was and still is Protege, which still kind of works but not as well. So I'm debating if I should try to change it or just leave it for now. Or maybe I'll get an InspiroBrick&trade to the head that'll help.
