I'm here, kinda, between barrista duties. Boo on insomnia Jeremy, hope you get some sleep. Have you tried Benadryl? Helps with allergies and is the best sleeping pill I've ever taken. Or, more herbally, Valerian root. Tastes horrible, but effective
Nope no Benadryl in the house so I'm just sitting here, being bored.

Lord knows I tried but you know how actors are.

No I understand and thanks. But I still need to calm down somehow. It is so freaking annoying when your rational mind is completely disconnected from your emotional response. My mind is calm my emotions are not.

It's funny, I could never get past the first chapter in the first book IDK why. My wife loves them, she has the whole series up on her half of the library

Do zombies dream of electric sheep?

So, been reading a LOT of comics lately (trying to clear my backlog) - just read the last 16 issues of X-force, first 7 of Wolverine and the X-men, last 10 of Avengers, re-read We3, and read the first 12 Young Avengers (picked up a HC of it).
and....
I'm digging it. I really thought I wouldn't like Wolverine and the X-men - but I really HAVE enjoyed the headmaster wolverine schtick. Some really good writing on that title - some of the beast dialogue has had me laughing pretty hard. my favorite "I may have made the espresso machine a tad TOO intelligent. This morning it turned on me and tried to strangle me to death with it's cords... that, or I may need more then three hours of sleep a week."
X-force has been a lot of fun, with Genesis (apocalypse jr.) and the whole Dark Angel Saga. I'm getting really revved up for upcoming X-men vs Avengers crossover, and I think I'll get all of it (I have every issue of House of M, Civil war, and World War Hulk, and Siege.) as I kind of regret not picking up Secret Invasion. I wasn't too interested in it, but not having it leaves a large hole in my comic line.
On the book side of things, just finished reading Joe Abercrombie's The Blade Itself trilogy - good stuff. Started reading the hunger games on the wife's reccomendation - not bad at all, even if it *does* reek of Battle Royale - which is fine by me.
This has been a (not so brief) update on what I'm reading. You folks?
Edit - if you haven't read We3 you really, realy should. Fantastic.
