So Very Dark

This weekend was (well, I suppose, still is, until this evening) the Pittsburgh Comicon.  I missed it last year due to a homework overload, so I did my best to buckle down and get myself as caught up as I could this past week so I would be able to make it this year.   As I mentioned in a previous post, I let things pile up a little last week, due to a combination of irritation at starting back to school after only a week and irritation at not yet having my tablet despite original shipping promises, and catching up with what I let slide was a daunting (and not yet completed) task…but I did do enough to justify spending the day looking at comics.  Well, in my case, looking through artists’ portfolios and sketches more than actual comics, for the most part — I’m not a hardcore comic geek willing to dig through boxes and boxes of skinny issues in search of a missing or rare publication.  I like pretty graphic novels and pretty art much more than the over-muscled/flat colored comic superheroes, and care not a whit what my book’s resale value is–I want it for me and I want to read it, not keep it tucked away in a light-and-air eliminating bag.

Anyway, it was fun.  Pretty art abounded and I talked to a couple of boothies that were really cool.  I wore a pretty dress and felt like a princess.  I got some Firefly and Doctor Horrible postcard-sized prints, two T-shirts (one with the Torchwood logo, the other a BSG ‘Frak’ shirt) three comics including the third Buffy graphic novel, and a couple other nice prints, including a gorgeous stylized picture of a kitty and a dragonfly by Sara Richard.

Other than that, I’ve been working my way through my homework and Season 6 of Smallville.  Spring continues to be fitful, fluctuating between warm and cold and spitting the occasional rain shower at us without any real spring storms…but the woods are greener and lusher each day and there are birds everywhere, so what ever it’s doing must be working.

I’m a little under-the-weather at the moment but getting better, I think.

I have a troubling amount of Dreamweaver homework awaiting my attention.

I don’t know what to make for dinner.
