Evidence of my death, et cetera, et cetera

Evidence of my death, et cetera, et cetera

Okay. So, like, a ba-jillion things have happened between now and my last post.

I visited the Midwest two different times in as many weeks this month.

My sister got married (thus accounting for one of the Midwest trips).

The last issue of Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers mini-series finally came out. (So it's not monumental, but try waiting six months before you get to read the last chapter of your next book. You get the gist.)

I jumped to a different department at work allowing me to ditch the walkie and spend my days in relative--if more work-intensive--relaxation.

I contracted the plague while on one of the Midwest trips. (The other Midwest trip. Another wedding.) It's the sickest I've been in years. The night before the wedding, I was up for two hours in the middle of the night with cold sweats. Bogus, man. It was sucky.

It's Halloween today, and I know that make for more than a few happy friends. Speaking of Halloween and friends, my LA group of friends and I will be attending tonight's festivities as the "Jonny Quest" crew. I'll be Race, naturally. Less naturally, Jessie will be Hadji.

Other than the stuff already listed (and more that I'm sure I've forgotten), I've just been a lazy hunk o' crap. I took some time and started catching up on my media intake. Below is just what I was able to remember absorbing in the last month.
