I think that by the time I am done with this, I will not want to do any comic reviews for a while.<\/p>\n
I’m looking about me right now. On my left, on the floor, is a humongous stack of comics, and several smaller stacks of TPBs. All stuff reviews today.<\/p>\n
On the floor on my right, a stack of fine books that Doyce brought over. And more comfort food books to review.<\/p>\n
On the table to my right, another stack of trades that had been sitting on the landing, but I thought, “Hey, I can reviw those.” Um … yeah.<\/p>\n
On the table to my right, there’s a stack of comics from this week I’ve not read, my Previews for pre-ordering next month, a copy of Comics Buyer’s Guide<\/i> I’ve not read yet, and a couple of comics I’ve decided (while reviewing tonight) to cancel.<\/p>\n
There’s a lot of other crap up there, too, but that’s another story.<\/p>\n
I’m listening to various tunes by the Pet Shop Boys, which don’t seem to be keeping me awake well. Nor is the coffee helping much.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, I got this written. Which means, after it’s posted, there’s only five more posts. Just … five … more …<\/p>\n
Hmmm.<\/p>\n
Red Bull Energy Drink<\/b>. “Vitalizes Body and Mind.” “Improves performance especially during times of increased stress or strain. Increases endurance. Increases concentration and improves reaction speed. Stimulates the metabolism.”<\/i><\/p>\n
And it’s fat-free, too!<\/p>\n
Though it tastes like bad Halloween candy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
