I woke up this morning feeling... just fine. No headaches. No stiffness throughout. No nausea. A little bit of cold sweat, but that's all. I called and told Peter at the comic shop that I was able to come into work after all today. He asked if I was sure and I said, "I... think so."

I feel like I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop.

In other news, whenever I post a new entry, I get an administrative message from LJ saying that my password is too easy to guess and I should change it. Erm... no. No, my password is a totally made-up word that only holds meaning to a very select number of individuals. Why are the LJ people bugging me about this? Weird.

Bah.

I'm feeling better and all and then my plans for the evening completely fall through. Now I got absolutely nothin' going on tonight. I don't exactly revel being stuck back at Mom's house tonight while she's sick as a dog herself. And I wanted to see Wallace and Gromit too! Poopy.

Today was the fifth time someone came into the store and basically said: "Hi, I have a friend/family member/co-worker who's a huge comic fan and I wanted to buy a present for them. I say, "Ok, well, what do they like to read?" "Oh, I have no idea. I don't read comics." "Um, well, if they're 'huge' fans I don't know what to suggest because they might already have it." And the other person generally shrugs and gets that blank dog look. And so invariably anything I could give them the other person will already have so they come back looking for refunds. Gahhhrrhrhrh.

Richards. He did it to me again.

quickies. and not in the good way, but what're you gonna do? that's right, bitch, not a thing.

The Professor from Gilligan's Island is Reed Richards.

It's a sad day for DDR fans everywhere: Captain Jack has died. I don't know the details yet. I will Dream a Dream for you, oh Captain my Captain.

Some Hollywood asshats are talking about remaking CREEPSHOW. You know, George Romero and Stephen King's love letter to the classic EC Comics horror stories like in "Tales from the Crypt"? Apparently these producers are abandoning the comic anthology aspect in favor of a story structure mimicking films like "Go," and in doing so utterly and completely miss the point of CREEPSHOW.

No, seriously. The Professor IS Reed Richards. In age, in face, in pipe. In the way he's absolutely brilliant yet only able to invent things for very limited, specific purposes. DOOM would have figured out a way off the island before Richards would have even found coconuts to make a radio!!!

Oh, Jay? Apparently we still DO have my grandfather's files. ALL of them. Either up at Gordon's farm in storage or (god fucking help us, I don't care what Mom says I do not fucking trust this) in our basement.

I hate posting on LJ between Friday and Sunday because I feel like only half the people are reading, and even they're just skimming.
