Life just got exponentially more awesome.

Grandma's box of Christmas gifts arrived. This year, she went browsing on my Amazon wishlist and bought me some super shinies. Including...

What People Wore When: A Complete Illustrated History of Costume from Ancient Times to the Nineteenth Century for Every Level of Society

This sucker? This sucker is heavy, this sucker is illustrated on every damn page in many different types of costume, and let me tell you, this sucker is my new best friend.

Comics!

Today is my day off, so I went down to the comic shop for the first time in a month or two to pick up our collected issues. And, since Jess has been telling me all about Blackest Night, I went and splurged all over their Blackest Night selection and got the owner to try to re-order the main-storyline issues I'm missing.

Writing goals for today are SO out the window.

ps238 #42: Remains awesome, needs to come out more often.

Last Stand of the Wreckers #1: I have no idea who half these people are, but that's often my problem with IDW comics. The last scene with Overlord made me wonder if he and that Autobot are about to have sex. The last scene with the Wreckers was frigging awesome, and I hope to find out more of what's going on there.

Bumblebee #1-#2: The situation: Optimus Prime has retired for some damn fool reason I don't feel like looking up to find out, Hot Rod has pulled off of Earth, so the Earth Autobots elect Bumblebee as leader. Now he does what he can to do right by the humans and the Autobots who believed in him. FUCK YEAH.

( Talking about Bumblebee goes on for a while. Also, more comics )

And I think I'll leave reading my Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps issues until tomorrow.
