Some random babbling on the distractions.
How does one solve a bout of self-pity and bad night at work?
With tandoori chicken, long grain saffron rice, spiced black chai, dark chocolate with marzipan, and spending money one really doesn't need to. However, the new sheets are nice, I do now own a proper sake set, and...
Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane is, quite possibly, one of the cutest things I've ever seen, besides puppies. I can't pet and snuggle a book as well as a puppy, unfortunately. The high school angst-drama factor is through the roof, but I just can't help but love MJ's earnestness and Peter's passive-aggressive tendencies. Seriously, showing up as plain Peter when MJ is going to go out with Spider-Man? Way to set yourself up to fall. SMLMJ is the comic book analog of that sappy "popular one hooks up with dork" movie you'd never admit to liking, but still watch on occasion when you may catch playing on television.
Also bringing the cute, high school drama is Kamen Rider Hibiki. Despite how the fandom wants to paint it, Hibiki is the best-acted, most emotionally honest KR series made in recent memory. Tendou may have memorized every word out of his Grandmother's mouth, but he's a crappy concept played by a bad actor. (Me, sick of hearing about how he's so amazing? Nah...) Admittedly, I've been trying to share the gospel of Hibiki with those who would rather slap me than hear about it anymore.
( Wherein I bitch about why toku fandom drives me crazy. )
Now, to see if I can resist really breaking the bank at Kentuck. I've been tempted every year, and this one I very likely won't have anyone with me to remind me to be sensible or responsible. Fall is my second favorite time of year, and Kentuck is how I really get into the season, browsing the art and being awed by some of the raw skill on display. And they do bring some serious skill, along with some not-so skilled.
In reality, though, it's all about the alligator and fried twinkies. And the Silver Age GA vibrator jokes.
