Grumble

My comic store wasn't open when I went past this morning on the way out for the day, which means... three? weeks without any new comics. This is an annoyance as I intended to catch up this weekend.

I may have to resort to torrenting some of my pull list, because I don't really want to be a month behind. (Of course, I'll buy the titles when I get to the store anyway, so I fail as a filthy pirate.)

Also, going out was a bad move. I should have just stayed in bed. I feel awful again now.

However, I have now successfully infected my family, friends and random strangers with "swine flu", so I get to appreciate the joy of sharing.

Oh, and I feel unclean. I bought a Harry Potter book. I may even attempt reading it.

EDIT: While I'm on the subject, Maxim have apparently done a Girls of Harry Potter spread, which makes me facepalm so hard. But I can't really totally hate them, because somehow they sidestep my extreme distaste and take the sting out of it by including Dame Maggie Smith on the list.

Logical choice. I don't have a Spock icon, so have some Pike and Sulu. Spcok is somewhere on the bridge, so it's almost as good, right?

I have read all seven books and must admit they were really enjoyable - except for the 6th one, which was painful to read and I mean it in a "sucked so hard" way.

That seems to be the common reaction to the movie too. I've resisted the books for many years though, so actually picking one up is a major step forward for my popularist tolerance levels.
