Work!


It's weird that I am enjoying my job so much. Most of the time I am either ringing people up or joking around with my fellow employees. And with their employee book-lending thing I have rented thusfar:

Clive Barker's "Mister B. Gone"
-Book that reads like the journal of a demon. Pretty interesting and gory so far. Funny how an abusive, ass-hole father is basically every demons father. Also funny how priests bait demons from hell with beer.

DC "Infinite Crisis"
-Lame. I mixed this up with Bill's recommendation "Identity Crisis." I didn't get this at all. The only thing I liked was when the Joker killed Lex-2 for "not letting him play" in the destruction of the universe.

DC "The Long Halloween"
-Awesome Batman murder mystery story. I think the coolest thing about Batman art is the hundreds of ways they depict villains. Scarecrow and Joker look impressively terrifying in this. Must-read. Loved the depiction of Harvey Dent's transformation to Two-Face.

DC "Haunted Knight"
-Companion to "The Long Halloween." Shows different Halloween nights in Gotham. There are three, but the only one that really stuck out was the Mad Hatter's story. He kidnaps Gordon's daughter and dresses her up as Alice. He also has a bunch of other kids drugged up to play all of the other parts in wonderland. Funny Moment: Drugged kid reacting to Alice refusing tea, "Just drink the tea. He doesn't like it when you don't drink the tea." I dunno. It was funny when I read it.

Marvel "Death of Captain America"
-Haven't read it yet. Will get back to you.

Also, there is this shelf where we get new CD and book promos for free, and what happened to be there today? The Original Broadway Cast Recording of LoveMusik. Fuck Yea! Free Bitch! Uh! Eat That BILL!

Ok, number #1: Send me that cd now.

and, Number #2: Read Identity Crisis next. Infinite Crisis wasn't good? I heard it was.

Also read Kingdom Come.

Infinite Crisis was, in a word, gay.

I will read Identity Crisis, and try to read Kingdom Come.

Ok cool.

That's too bad about Infinite Crisis. It was recommended to me.
