Random notes from Malden

As most of you probably know, shadesong and I have been in Malden, MA since Thursday night, staying at docorion and beowabbit's house. Been quite fun.

Yesterday's adventures included wandering the town (which has a nifty comic shop, always important), then heading to Harvard Square to meet up with mgrasso and ayalanya, where we spent at least an hour in Pandemoneum Books. I showed true restraint and only bought two games -- the Puerto Rico expansion (which I hadn't realized even existed!) and Girl Genius: The Works.

We also bought lots of books and stuff there, at Newbury Comics, and at TokyoKid (where I also got Men's Pocky and Yan Yan!).

Dinner was sushi, followed by dessert at Finale. Yum.

This morning, I read one of the books we bought -- Jane Yolen and Adam Stemple's Pay the Piper: A Rock and Roll Fairy Tale -- to pass the time until a certain other book gets delivered from Amazon today. But, alas, I've finished it, and still no half-blood anything. Dammit.

Anyway, not really checking email or LJ. But we're alive and having fun!

Oh, and according to Newsarama, Peter David's doing a new X-Factor series! Woohoo!
