Jul. 28th, 2006 08:06 pmThing which is really not fun, at all, in any way: going to the library to return a huge stack of books with a library card borrowed off best friend/flatmate and strict instructions to restrict self to one item.
Of course, it was going to be okay, because I had a plan; I was going to get We3, by Grant Morrison, recommended to me byshoeless_girl and lordofchaos, they of great taste and huge enabling (I got the books! *does a little dance of squee* Because I am wretched I still have not sent yours out! But I will ASAP!) (Also, I finally read Fray this week, omfg so awesome.). It was available at my library on Monday... but clearly, no longer. But that was okay! I had a backup plan! I was going to get Firebirds Rising, a YA fantasy short story collection including stories by Tamora Pierce, Charles de Lint, Diana Wynne Jones. And it was DEFINITELY available.
You guessed it. Couldn't find it for love or money. Nng. I ended up getting the first volumes of Y: The Last Man and Ex Machina because I love Runaways to pieces so I figure, why not try some more BKV? (Yes, I know, not exactly one item but I was suffering severe book deprival here.)
ANYWAY. Also this week I re-read Green Arrow: Quiver, which was I think the GA reboot. It's still the only GA I've read, but I do enjoy it, although it could have more Arsenal for my tastes. Speaking of whom I also read the Arsenal mini which was fun but didn't really move me; I'd just finished re-reading Pigs in Heaven by Barbara Kingsolver which features absolutely amazing stuff about the position of native americans in american society today. Now, I'll admit I don't know the first thing about Native Americans or their culture or, really, that much about American; but the Arsenal mini and Kingsolver's portrayal were violently different and, well, I know which one I liked better. A lot. So the whole ending of the mini grated on me, which was frustrating because I felt like I should have been moved or something when really... just no.
( current events, sorta )
In more positive news, I turned nineteen on Saturday and had an excellent weekend, including seeingmegaffe who bussed up to see us and a totally delicious raspberry-drenched chocolate cake by sixth_light. :D I also got texts from no less than three numbers not in my address book, only two of whom identified themselves, so if you texted me and didn't say who you were and think one of the strange numbers may be yours... do let me know!
