Assorted Monday stuff

[yendi]

1. Over in KOL, I ascended and killed the NS yesterday morning. Am now on my fourth HCO run, as a Turtle Tamer. Thanks to yesterday's moon sign, I hit level 6 on my first day, but I think things are likely to slow down now.

2. Just found out last night that one of my mom's best friends -- someone I've known since I was eleven -- has ovarian cancer. She's doing well so far (and apparently has a great attitude), but it's shitty as hell to hear.

3. Spent most of last night hanging around with shadesong and dicotomygrrl. Dicotomygrrl brought us our comics,which included a new Adam Warren graphic novel! As well as the first issue of Buffy, Season 8. Plus lots of other stuff.

3.5. Alas, the Previews order we placed with Dicotomygrrl last night will be the last one ever featuring an issue of Strangers in Paradise. And lo, I am sad.

4. Ganked from Making Light: The whole story and history behind Mormonism? Turns out there are a few holes in it. Who knew? Other than the South Park folks, of course.

5. Black Sheep opens this week (in New Zealand, alas, so I don't think I'll catch it anytime soon). It's one of the movies I'm most looking forward to seeing this year, however.

I'd be curious to see what you end up thinking of Empowered.

I'll have my copy, along with TONS of other stuff by the first Thursday of April as usual if all goes to plan.

I've only been able to read the first ten pages or so, as I was exhausted last night. I'll probably read it tonight, though.

Mormonism. Even funnier if you accidentally leave out the second 'M'.

Heh. Oops. No wonder my spellchecker didn't catch it.
