cornerofmadnessGiven how many times I spill coffee on me.
Today I trundled to West Virginia to pick up my comics at the new to me Inner Geek (it's in a book store that I go to whenever I'm in Huntington's downtown area). Well that book store has committed itself to being a comic book store in a major way, about a full third to half of it being just that. However, the people working my pull list sure as shit didn't get it right. Luckily Books of Magic and Lucifer, the two I wanted the most were still on the shelf so I didn't miss out. I DID get the new Buffy 2 &3. I'm going to see if I can run down a reprint of #1 online. Yes, I could get all of this online but I like supporting local stuff (not that local, it's 75 miles away but my other closer one (a mere 45 miles) went out.
I was going to stop at Hillbilly Hot Dog but once again you couldn't park not even on the side of the road and some 30 people were standing outside (do play with the link or google the images of this because you know you want to! I love the mothman dog and the coal miner) So I found a new place to eat at Pullmnan Square, Black Sheeps Burritos and Brews. I hit there for brunch and got 2$ mimosas and french toast with whiskey cream and bacon marmalade (and my sugar is STILL paying for it).
Since I made the drive I went to the mall which you would have sworn they were giving shit away with how many people were there (though in a way that's nice to see for the local merchants). Macy's was having a big sale but all I bought was a cute shirt with bejeweled butterflies (things I like, butterflies and bling) Went to dinner at my favorite MExican place (which was festooned with St Paddy's day balloons which made me laugh) and hit books a million for some manga (The Promised Neverland and I thought about Gleipnir which seems like a horror comic. Anyone know anything about it?) That's where I got the road coffee to drive back on, blackberry mocha.
And the top split before I was even on the highway drenching me. My shirt, my bra and my jeans are all brown and hanging in the tub at the moment in the vain hope I can get the stains out. And my molcajete primavera left overs leaked all over the container I have in the back of Goyjo so that's going to need washed out too. Sigh.
ETA - How could I forget that I went to Michael's and now have a ton of stuff to finish my steampunk cosplay including tiny books with gears on them, some crosses and a leather wrap bracelet to dangle the stuff from. I was going to take a friend's suggestion to wrap foam with wood paper like the kind you use in drawers or in scrapbooking. Well I had it all in my cart then I ran across huge wooden knitting needles and a huge wood needle. I thought about the needle but I wouldn't know what to use it for. I didn't get the biggest knitting needles because they would be racking me in the legs on my costume. I had a 50% off coupon so the needles were like 4$ and I can use them to knit or handle them off to a friend. I'm even working it into Concetta's back story. Having them look like knitting needles makes her stakes socially acceptible.
Yep I'm cosplaying my own character. If you want to see the story, Find Concetta's introduction here
