Same here. Sears idea of anatomy was, um, disconcerting, to say the least.

Ah, this is sad news. The man adapted two phenomenal books, L.A. Confidential and Wonder Boys, into equally phenomenal movies. He created beautifully rich and immersive worlds in those movies that were true to the spirit of the books. That's an amazing accomplishment. Kudos, Mr. Hanson, and may you rest in peace.

Moon Knight: Countdown to Dark, a hardcover that collects the beginning of Doug Moench and Bill Sienkiewicz's run on the character. I have the same stuff in an Epic Collection now so it was time to sell that older hardcover off. He paid 30 bucks for it too!

Sorry to hear about the rental troubles. I had no idea finding places in the Twin Cities was so tough. I wonder why?

I had a similar experience and I haven't read a lot of Legion before or since. It started slow to me but then I got wrapped up in it and loved it. I do want to read more Legion someday, so any recommendations out there for following up The Great Darkness Saga?

I read the following this week:

I've loved Batman since my earliest memories, it seems. Not sure I can properly put into words why. I'll try one day.

I read the first issue last night and it made no sense. I loved it!

Make hers Marvel!

Thinking Black Widow but typed Black Canary. Canary and Widow: two of my comics crushes, clearly.

Besides Black Widow, the only Marvel book I'm reading monthly, I find my enjoyment of their recent books is much higher when I wait and either sample stuff or read big chunks of runs on Unlimited. Last night I read all six issues of the Aaron-Bachalo Doctor Strange on Unlimited. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I think…

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I hope she remembers me fondly and I'm sure she does too; we never had any major fights or issues during our time together. We just sort of drifted apart after that summer. I think I'm mostly just dealing with my own feelings that maybe I abandoned her. Back then I didn't seem to…

You're so right. I think one of the things that's been unsettling about it is realizing that I'll likely never get closure. I'd love to tell her, simply, "I still cared about you and always wished the best for you." It's hard coming to grips with knowing that isn't possible. But as you say, things like this can serve…

Truer words, my friend, truer words.

Thank you. I'm definitely trying to do that.

I just tried this one for the first time. It's great!

I tried Shiner's Oktoberfest this week. Not sure if Shiner counts as a craft beer or not! Also had one Souther Tier Pumking so far, as well as a couple of Elysian Night Owls. I do love me some pumpkin ale. The weather around here's been hot though so I'm holding off on really indulging until it cools down some more.

Yup, I know. I think what's hit me hard about this one is how my friend and I each had a pretty special relationship with this person and it's like, poof! She's just vanished. It's part of my looking back a bit more recently than I ever did before. Sometimes I don't like what I see in my old self! And one thing I…

So, something's been bugging me lately. It takes a bit of back story before I get into it, though.

You're like Andrew Lincoln in Love Actually, except with two friends' wives!
