Mar. 15th, 2003 08:43 pmNeil Gaiman always has links to the most awesome and obscure stuff in his blog. Today he had a link to this: the "bunny of the month club". Damn but I want one. Want, want, want.
Or I suppose I could make my own demented stuffed toys...
Met Suzie in the city yesterday, and we went shopping for my birthday present. Of course, this involved me taking her to Comics R Us and going into a little comic-induced "happy fit". *cough* Looked for Lady Constantine #1, but couldn't find it. Walked away with issue two of Alan Moore's The Courtyard and issue two of Lady Constantine. Maybe I'll be lucky and find $10, and then I'll be even luckier and find issue one of Lady Constantine at Minotaur. Or something.
I heard about Scars on one of the LJ communities a short while back, but I haven't found it in stock in the comic stores yet, which sucks. I heard about The Courtyard through Scars, as they both have art done by Jacen Burrows. I put both of them on my birthday list, and got The Courtyard from my littlest sister.
The Courtyard's first issue has one of the most beautiful, vibrantly coloured cover arts I've seen. It's awesome. That and the fact that it's written by Alan Moore, and is a Lovecraftian tale, promises for a good ride. And it's fecking awesome.
( Serious spoiler. )
Tych, I don't know if you've read any Lovecraft, or any of the stories that utilise his universe (or a varient thereof), but I think you'd really appreciate The Courtyard. It's right up your alley. I'm pretty sure that the second issue is the conclusion, but I'm not certain. I wouldn't stake my life on it, but I'd probably stake the life of an unloved family pet.
Went to see Wendy perform last night. there were some other people on first, some of which were good, some weren't. Also, Nat and I accurately predicted that the first song after the invocation would be Horses. Go us.
Performances didn't finish until 1.30. Drove Nat home, then drove self home, practically chanting a litany to stay awake. Opened boot to realise that Nat had left her bag in my car.
Fell into bed with much appreciation.
