Pretty miserable weather for the last while. The rain is getting a bit old. It makes everything humid and sticky too. All the paper in my apartment is all wobbly and shit. haha

So, I was walking home from the grocery the other day and a nice old lady about 4 feet tall trips right and front of me and face plants. When I say "old" I mean OLD. I was kinda freaking in my head about not knowing what to do or who to call. 911 is 110 here. Actually, I think that's for the cops. Who knows!? Anyway, I'm the only one around so I rush over and hope to bjesus she ain't dead cuz I've never seen a dead person and I didn't exactly wanna break any records that second but she, like, pops right up! She's kinda rubbing her face and asks me if there are any marks on her cheek which I reply with a negative. She had a scrape on her knee but aside from that she was fine and was on her way. So, yeah. Lesson for the day: old people are pretty resilient.

I bought Moebius's new book 40 days dans le desert B the other day. A handsome wide format hardcover for 50 bucks. Worth every yen!! He's got such clean lines, man.


I also picked up Urasawa Naoki's first issue of Billy Bat. It's awesome. After the first few chapters I was worried it would tread familiar Urasawa territory with the plot folding into itself and things becoming over-complicated but I was pleasantly and mind-blowingly corrected by the end. I'm always amazed at how accurately he captures the time period in all his works. Anyway, if you're a fan you must read this one.


I also won a pink Ipod Shuffle at a work party last night! Yay! I'm still rockin' out with my B&W 2nd gen tank of an ipod I bought almost 5 years ago so this one will be easier to carry around and jog with. Nice!
