adventures

 A chair. A great big chair.

for 60 dollars our across-the-street neighbors were trying to rid themselves of the awful affliction of seating.

I'm fairly sure they were deperate to sell the thing -acrused as it was- that i could've walked away with it at 30$. My plan was to offer 20 and work no greater then 40$. But then i remembered i don't need a chair. And, indeed, 20$ could be greatly used in other aspects of my life.

After mowing the lawn in early afternoon-sun, I hopped bikeward (because nothing is as refreshing after a grueling sweatin the hot, hot sun as a long bike  ride in the hot, hot sun). I headed to my favorite comic book store this morrow. Albeit Mayham is the only comic book shop this side of Des Moines, but it's stores are still vast. I picked up three comics. Deadpool Corps, Chip, and Sense & Sensibility the comic. who knew? I saw it and i knew it must be purchased. It's not terrible. By which i mean, it's exactly as terrible as the original Jane Austin. So if you like that... I just wonder what other classics will be reprinted in comic form. Persuasion, perhaps? House of the Seven Gables? They've done Frankenstein and Dracula hundreds of times why not Rappacinni's Daughter or Herland? particularly Dickens' works would fit nicely as he was initially a serial author. (though i don't think i could stand reading Bleak House or A Christmas Carol even if it was illustrated.)

Chip is a junevile comic about a 2 inch gargoyle that seeks out different ways to become scarier. In this issue (the second issue i've purchased) he investigates a "haunted" house to ask the spirits how to be fierce. I love the premise of this comic. It is terribly juvenile but cute. I'm not sure how to elabrate on this. So I won't.

Moving on, I enjoyed Deadpool. I'm not sure this in the best work, but it's promising. Plus entertaining. basicly, Deadpool is a super "hero" who is inane, clever, and just slight batty. The particular series i picked up involves Deadpools from all over the "mulitverse." It includes a zombified dismembered floating head of of Deadpool. He is called Headpool. There is also Dogpool and Ladypool. I'm waiting for Hulkpool. anyway for ~3$ each it's not a bad way to spend some time.

further along I found myself at Ames British Foods. A favorate place of mine. Specifically, Mark, the owner, loves beers and ciders. I love the Henney's Cider his shop offers. 16 poorer I had two point two pints of Cider and a box of strawberry bicukets (delicious). All and all, 25$ of expenderture was certainly worth not having a new chair. Plus the sweat and sunburn!

until next time,

P.S. I shaved my head today. It is incredible. I'd show the world (my blog-readers) but my camera is absent. Forgotten - nay - adventuring without me. I have a scanner. I've never tried to use a scanner as a camera before and I don't intent to now. But I'll show you my biscuits instead. 

And it comes with a story! but you don't get to see that part.
