Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Yesterday, the Squirrel Girl comics I ordered got delivered. Three days earlier than I was expecting! What a happy surprise. I only have two more volumes to purchase and then I'll have the full series. It still amazes me that I own comics, multiple volumes of comics. This is not how I saw my life…
Yesterday I started my morning with kix cereal, orange juice, and the Hygge book Kaitlin let me borrow. I sat out on the balcony while the air was still cool and I flipped through the book, marking which challenges I wanted to try. I made my list and have added a page to this blog…
Yesterday I ate homemade white bread for breakfast (thanks, Gene!), planted the jalapeno plant I got from the community garden the previous day, and then dashed out into the world. I made a very quick stop at the community garden to water my seeds and then headed to the Denver Cat Company to meet with…
Yesterday evening I went to my comic meetup where we discussed Animosity, a comic about animals suddenly gaining consciousness. I liked the story previously but the discussion was so deep and enjoyable that it made me appreciate the comic even more. The author and artist of this comic do great jobs at conveying an entire…
Monster storyboard Yesterday I went to DINK. Second time going, my aim was to find some cool art and an enamel pin. While I didn't end up getting an enamel pin, I did find a wooden one that caught my eye plus two buttons. I also grabbed myself a couple of art pieces too. Buttons…
This past weekend was a whirlwind. I went to Mile High Comics Saturday morning with the housemates for Free Comic Book Day. Two hours later I came out with three free comics plus a few purchased ones. It’s always great to be around fellow nerds, it lifts my spirits, and this time was no…
Sunday afternoon I went to another comic book club meetup with Elisabeth and Sidney. I’ve been going to these since January so I actually know people’s names now and have a kind of relationship with them. It’s really nice and I enjoy going to these meetups. It also allows me to try out new places…
This past weekend I went to DINK - Denver Independent Comics Expo - for the first time and had a blast. Two floors of a building were completely filled with comic book writers, comic book artists, and artists in general all selling their wares and chatting it up. While I’m not a big comic reader…
The Wicked & The Divine - The Faust Act I joined a meetup group for women who like to read comics. I haven't read many comics, but I do like reading and I do like the idea of comics so I decided to join (I also want to make more friends this year). The Wicked…
The other day I happened across a video (which I can no longer find, sorry) that talked about a new comic coming out. The comic is about the wonderful characters we love from the TV show Firefly. The story revolves around what happens to the characters after Serenity (the movie). There were will be at…
