I have read more of Fables. I am really liking it. A lot. I kind of want icons, but I'm afraid to go looking since I'm still not nearly caught up on the series... also, it's going to suck when I am caught up, since I'm going to have to start waiting for them. Boo. :(
And I want THIS, so very badly. Why does it have to be so much money?! D: (Also, who thinks I am likely to be able to find it anywhere now? Bueller? Bueller?) This one comes out in December, but I don't like it as well (mostly a character thing), and also, still a lot of money. BOOO.

And now for some spoilery talk about Fables, not that I think anyone on my flist has read it, but oh well. )

Has anyone on the good ol' flist read Runaways? I've heard good things, and I know Joss is (or will be? or something) writing for later issues of it. I bought the first trade, but I haven't read it yet and I'm curious if any of you know anything.
While I'm on that subject, who the hell decided that it would be good to put Runaways out in MANGA-SIZED TRADES?! Screw that, it is NOT manga, and you are RE-SIZING MY COMICS. Maybe it's dumb, but that bugs me. Oh, or I could pay more money and get a HARDCOVER trade that is GARGANTUAN and would be a pain in my butt to read. Sure, it might be nice if I was in love with the series already and wanted it for collector's value, but I don't want to read it, and especially not for the first time. Grr.
(I bitch, but I bought the manga-sized trade anyway. Sigh.)

I also just read the latest Anita Blake comic book.
Spoilers for Anita Blake: First Death vol.2 )

They advertised the next issue of the Guilty Pleasures comic being out in January. Who thinks that'll actually happen? Yeah. Thought so.

I think I need to stay away from the comic book store for a while, though. O.O
(Not that it'll happen. I'm going to be needing more Fables badly here soon...)

And in non-comic book ramblings... actually, no, I think that's it, since I haven't watched the latest Pushing Daisies ep, and I don't want to talk about Heroes for fear of accidently spoiling [livejournal.com profile] barbed_whispers, heh.

How are all of you? I feel very disconnected from most of my flist right now. Anyone still reading this nonsense? Anything interesting going on in your lives out there? Do share. I am curious. :)
athra: ([Firefly] reading is FUN!)
So, check this out. I update lj less and less, but somehow I'm updating twice today. Go figure.

I don't really know what's been going on. Heh. I had a generally awesome time in Vegas, and since then... I haven't been doing a whole lot other than working, reading, and hanging around online a little.

I have been reading a lot though. I just finished book 5 in the Night World series by L.J. Smith. I... haha. They aren't the best written things in the world (though this last one was definitely better) and sometimes they make me roll my eyes with the cheesy, but I am devouring them. I like Ash a lot, but I think I may be completely and totally in love with Quinn, and I am pretty sure [livejournal.com profile] barbed_whispers will want to hurt me when she reads that I maybepossiblytotally like someone better than Ash, but that's okay. Maybe I'll change my mind when I read some more, heh.

On the whole, though, I think I still like Vampire Diaries better. Brothers! Damon. What's not to love? mm, I might need to reread book 4...

Anyway, have I expressed my love for Morganville Vampires recently? Because I really do love that series. I think the first book is still my favorite, but I enjoyed the latest a lot, too. Oh, who am I kidding, I really just love Rachel Caine. I bought her romance book, just because I actually do really like her, but I need to get around to reading it. Maybe after Night World?

I know I'm meant to be reading some Pike, per Lisa, as well, but I think after Night World I might want to take a break from YA... I have some other things on my TBR shelf. hmm.

And while I'm on the subject of things I'm reading: Buffy Season Eight. omg you guys. If you are at all, even vaguely, Buffy fans, you have GOT to pick this up. I just... vbjkvkd. I am loving it. Oh, Joss.

Annnnd since I'm onto comics, WTF ANITA BLAKE COMIC, FUCK YOU AND YOUR NONSENSE RELEASE DATES AND CRAP. I would really like to HAVE First Death Vol. 2 now instead of constantly changing release dates, wtf. And supposedly they have contracted through the third book, but at this point it's never going to happen, it's being so fickle about release. grr.

Also: has anyone on my flist read Fables? I bought the first trade, but I haven't read it yet. I'm kind of excited about it, though...

I need to pick up the next Shoujo Beat, too, for Honey & Clover... hmm. I don't think I've missed an issue, anyway... I hope not. o.O

OH, and Publix FTW, because Lisa and I found the Avatar magazine there, of all places. Got the last two, though... still. yay for us! Oh, Avatar. so much <3.

I always THINK about opening up Semagic and making an actual update, and I never seem to get around to it. So I'm going to try to actually do it this time!

Fannish out of the way first:

THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST. SUMMER. EVER.
Okay. So not only am I getting a new HARRY POTTER OMG (BOOK AND MOVIE!), but the new Weather Warden book comes out, the new ABVH book comes out (which, I know, I KNOW it's going to suck, but it's EDWARD and dammit, I can't help but hope at least a LITTLE wtf) AND. AND AND. There's going to be a special issue ABVH comic about the first time Anita met Jean-Claude! vbsdjkvbdfbnjnJHBHBCHGBK WEEEEEEEE!! omg that excites me to NO END.
Could this summer be any better for fandom?

ALSO. The Buffy Season 8 comic -- The Long Way Home -- is AWESOME. At least, the first issue was. omg I LOVED IT. LOOOOOVED.
Oh, Joss, I HAVE MISSED THEE.
And I have seriously missed Buffy. Like... whoa. HELLO MY WONDERFUL ORIGINAL FANDOM I LOVE YOU TO PIECES. (I want to upload some new Buffy icons now vbjvbjkdfbj. I think my icons might need to have a makeover.)
I believe Lisa and I are planning a major Buffy marathon after she moves in. It will be AMAZING. and cracktastic, but that's amazing, too. XD

Okay, and in other news, but still fannish news... I have become addicted to a new series. ::facepalm:: It's all Nicole's fault!
But yeah, Criminal Minds? Is AWESOME. And I am more than a little in love with Reid. D:


Work is going... okay. haha, these super annoying girls on my team got bitched out today, which was really kind of amazing. XD TAKE THAT, LOSERS.


Yeah, see? I'm losing my will to update. :/


ALTHOUGH. IT WAS POINTED OUT TO ME THAT SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT WAS NEVER ANNOUNCED IN THIS JOURNAL, AND I MUST FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY.

I? Am going to Japan. Yes. In like... whoa. SO SOON. April 2nd we leave.
It's all kind of amazing and I'm terribly excited, though I still find it hard to believe it's true and I will probably continue to feel this way until I've been in Tokyo for a couple days, haha. but, basically? I have the best friends in existance. ♥ to Nicole and Casey, yes.

Well, I still came closer to a real update than I have in a while? heh.
athra: (Default)
EEEE, Anita Blake comic, EEEEEE.

XD

Also, my Halloween costume is ALL KINDS of awesome, and my wig? Oh hell yes. I LOVE IT.
