So, I find that I often purchase things for people that I think look interesting. And then I wish I’d bought a copy for myself. Because I have excellent taste. I’ve done this a few times lately so I’m going to post some links to things as a review of awesomeness to come. As in, I think these things are probably amazing, but I can’t really say for sure because I haven’t actually read them yet. Make sense? Gravy.

This link is to the Cowboy Ninja Viking blog about a comic that I wish I was reading. I will go out and buy this. You might want to as well. This badass dude has multiple personalities, and he is ALL three things: cowboy (hells yes), ninja (amazaballs!) and Viking (/sexy). So… I’m sold. The art looks crazy cool and the copy I bought for someone else has been well received.

Next, We3 is the comic series I almost bought and now have serious regrets about leaving behind. It looks intense, emotionally, and beautifully strange. Three animals, a dog, a cat and a rabbit, are turned into robotic soldiers and attempt to escape to find “home”. I was worried that they don’t all make it and wasn’t sure that I’m not a fragile girl who would just sit and cry constantly reading about adorable pets in pain. But, I think I’m missing out on something awesome. I’m going to put on my big girl Hello Kitty shirt and pick up the three issues.
This book is a debut novel that I’m told will blow your socks off. I’m going to read it. When I finish reading all the other things I’m supposed to be reading but I’ve been very distracted.
In other news, I play Portal now. Portal is cool. It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally taken the plunge and now I have a problem. Also, I want cake. Understandably, I now must have the sequel. But first, I will bake (Is this game equally as addictive as sugar?). The internets are full of recipes for the Portal cake, which, I gather is a bit of spoiler for the game’s sequel so I’m avoiding actually reading too much. Here you go, if you want some cake that isn’t a lie.http://jedifreac.livejournal.com/714209.html
Roz - lemme know what you think of Gargoyle when you are done reading it. We read it last year in my book club. I'd like to compare notes.
ReplyDelete(I suspect we have similar taste in books, and would like to verify this theory.)
Ok, I'm going to buy the book now that I've finished the last book club read. We read "A Stir of Echoes" for Halloween. Cool ghost story, of course, now I want to see the Kevin Bacon movie.
