Bonjour mes amis.
It’s a grey, rainy, gloomy day and I can feel it in my bones. My mind has been blank and my keyboard largely untouched.
Last night was again quiet as far as TV that was interesting. I got lucky and the West Coast feed of TeleToon had an episode of The Batman that I hadn’t seen. But after that, meh.
I picked up my latest comic purchase, JLA - Salvation Run, and finished it. It was a pretty fun read. The villains from all of your favourite DC Comics beat the crap out of each other and show some sides of them that I had never seen before. Heck there were villains in the story that I had never seen or heard of before. I should have started this comic thing a long long time ago. Now I have to find something else to read. And a new comic book place to go to find them because the place that I was going to call mine isn’t convenient to buy from. The guy has all of the graphic novels and multiple issue comics behind glass in a trophy case looking thing. And because I’m not an expert and I like to look at books before I buy them, and see the prices, I’m not comfortable there. I don’t want to be the guy that walks back to the front of the store to ask him to unlock the case, then has him watching over my shoulder as I look at things only to have me not buy anything. That would make me feel like a douche. And I don’t want to feel like a douche for not buying anything.
So, if anyone knows of somewhere in Toronto that I can more freely look at a comic selection and choose what I may or may not want to buy please let me know. Thank you.
In other news, I’ve been more affected by this whole Alex Rodriguez thing than I originally thought. At first I said that I was disheartened but not wholly surprised. And that is still mostly the case. But now I’m feeling disappointed, letdown and sad. I really hoped that once in my lifetime I would be able to see a baseball player set the all time homerun record and I would know that he was clean. Now A-Rod isn’t going to be that guy. As of right now there isn’t anyone else that shows the prospect of doing it. Maybe Albert Pujols if he plays for a long time, and maybe Evan Longoria if he hits like a champ for the next 20 years, but I don’t know if I’ll ever get to see it.
Now I’m depressed, so it’s time for me to go. Ta-ta for now.
