I'm so glad tomorrow is Saturday. I really need a day off. I'm cynical and bitter and just don't care at work. Someone had to remind me that I have a cool job. I really do. But today I just can't see the coolness for the crap. I spent a good twenty minutes with my yo-yo at work today, trying not to just start pummeling people.

I've been given a stack of comics to read. Apparently as I've ventured into the world of comic afficionados my view of the comic book industry has been skewed. I haven't actually read that many comics. I cut my teeth on Watchmen, and I've been enjoying a lovely water-color series of Daredevils along with a trade paperback of .... what's it called... Rising Stars? Anyway, the point is that apparently my view of comics has been skewed because people are only giving me the really good ones to read. I see tag lines and marketing copy and actually think there's a chance they'll pull off what they're bragging about. Apparently, this is not usually the case. So a friend gave me a stack of comics to read, just to get a better cross-section of what's out there.

Sounds like a fabulous Saturday activity.

Books: I have the basic blocking done on this chapter that's been giving me such problems. Now I need to go back in and fix the dialogue. I need to give it a rest, though. Tomorrow I try a fun chapter (and try to remember to have fun with it.) Then I'll try to bring that feeling of fun back to this chapter.
