You guys know the drill. I go out of town for the weekend, skip Monday's comic, and put up a double length issue on Friday. Sowwy. But at least I got last Friday's comic up! ^_^

Been reading Stephen King lately. Insomnia. From a Buick 8 (on an audiobook while traveling back home). Getting ready for Dark Tower 7, which I've already purchased. I really like his style. He's vivid without being pretentious. Just kinda says it how it is. So refreshing after hours of stupid Microbiology of whatever.
I actually got the audiobook for free from a used bookstore. I saw it was $25, but when Jeff and I opened it, it was missing the first CD. When I showed the owners they said I could just have it...(Otherwise they were going to throw it away). So I bought the paperback for $4, read the first 37 pages, and started the audiobook with disc2 on the way home. Pretty sweet deal.

Hm. Also I can't remember if I've mentioned this but I'm also learning the guitar now. Going to save up for a slick black acoustic (rather than this classical, wide-necked behemoth I'm practicing on). Not doing anything special just yet, but I can play you one or two songs off the top of my head. More chords and skills to follow.
