the journal of a fangirly insect

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who is celebrating it!

Totally unrelated to everything, but this page is making me giggle like an idiot. Yay Tasky! \0/ I can't wait for this to come out in trade so I can buy it.

I love it when DCBS updates their site at the beginning of each month. It's like Christmas every time, sorting through all of the goodies and wondering what I'm going to order. I don't have as much money to blow on comics as I used to, but I still set aside a bit each month.

And while browsing through the specials, I found a title called "Jesus Hates Zombies." Intrigued, I clicked, and got this description:

No one knows for certain what caused it, but in only six days a zombie plague swept across the Earth, consuming three quarters of the world's population. Disgusted by the sight of the walking dead devouring His precious creation, God has sent back His only Son to once again set right the wrongs of the world. But this time, there's no room to turn the other cheek. This time, the message isn't one of love and compassion. This time, the J-Man is looking to unleash some Wrath of God, because this time Jesus hates zombies!

So I had to click on the picture, of course. And I didn't think it was possible, but it got even better.



Oh my god. With that description and that cover? I needed to have this thirty-five minutes ago. :D

It's the first day of my three-and-a-half week vacation. If that wasn't awesome enough, I got a package in the mail. :D



These are issues that I really, really wanted, and yet they cost way too much for me to seriously think about buying them: Team-Up with Widdle Wade, the Encyclopedia Deadpoolica, Deadpool/Death annual 1998, Deadpool #44, Black Panther #23, New Mutants #98, Baby's First Deadpool Book (okay, I already have a copy of this, now that I think about it, but it was part of the lot), and Deadpool #66-69. All of them are in NM condition. And I got them for an average of a dollar apiece, including shipping.

*huge comic book geekgasm*

I know no one is likely to care but me, but...dude. This is incredibly awesome.

Maybe it's the lack of sleep, but I think this "secret" is AWESOMESAUCE. XD (You'll need to have watched True Blood to get it.)

Showtime has apparently put up the first episode of the new season of Dexter on their site. I'm not sure if I'm going to watch it now or wait until they actually start airing the shows in September. I'll probably cave, provided it's still up on the site when I decide to give in. ;)

I got about three hours of sleep total last night, so I feel like death warmed over. Blargh. I am really looking forward to vacation, which is so tantalizingly close. Three relatively stress-free weeks! It sounds like heaven, if I believed in such a place.

I should be getting my Quicksilver bust tomorrow (I got the green one instead of the blue one, since he looks more like the arrogant bastard he is in the green one, and the green one is definitely the better sculpt), and I got several comics today in the mail.

Life is pretty good. :D

I think that I update my journal on Thursdays to complain how tired I am. XD Well, today is no different. I'm exhausted, and I will probably be asleep by eight tonight, because I am that tired. And I have so much to do! I still need to write my fic for masked_ball, which was due a few days ago. I've started it, but alas, real life and I are not getting along right now. And answer some emails and messages and OH GOD, I AM SORRY, I'VE KIND OF DROPPED OFF THE PLANET. Tomorrow I'll catch up, I hope.

I did manage to find room to read Deadpool #12 (the newest issue), and what. This just makes me cling to my almost-complete Joe Kelly run all the harder. I love Deadpool. He is my favorite comic book character. I also have more than a touch of OCD when it comes to being a completist. And yet if Daniel Way doesn't get better in the next few issues, I'm dropping this solo. :P

Umm...nothing else to say, except sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

I'm leaving Friday morning for Charlotte. I'm a little excited, but mostly not. I think it's the seven hour drive that is making me not want to go. :P Tim, you had so better be worth it. I am still disappointed that I won't be seeing Richard Todd Adams as Phantom. Sigh.

I spent a good hour or so last night adding all of my comic books to this site. Yeah, I know 212 aren't that many, but considering that I had never read a comic book or graphic novel until late February of this year? Not too shabby, if I say so myself. I've picked up a lot of cheap lots on eBay. I could pretty much spend at least a year of my life on this site, because they have all sorts of information that I didn't know I wanted to have until now. Like every single Taskmaster appearance.

One of my new favorite quotes: "I only wish I could be sure that people really do work...but when in doubt, there's always the comforting reassurance that ordnance does." It totally shows how awesome Nathan Summers truly is. XD He could be my GI Jesus any day of the week.

I apparently need to decimate my liver to be able to write nowadays. Hmph.
