matrixrefugee: the word 'refugee' in electric green with a background of green matrix code (Hellblazer)

I managed to add Patric Lepage's new "A.I." fic to the AIFFOA, but since I was updating the site via the sssslllllooooowwww computers at the library in Lowell, that meant I barely got it done. The site editor refused to load after I finished creating the page and the links for it, and thus I wasn't able to add to the Update log on the homepage. Oh well...

And I nipped in to Larry's Comics for my semi every-other-weekly visit: I knew that the next issue of "Neverwhere" was coming out *sometime* at the end of the month, I just couldn't remember exactly when. It hadn't come out yet, but I managed to get the September issue of "Hellblazer", and for the heck of it, I got the first volume of "The Sandman", which I don't have and which is *always* out at the Lowell library.

While I was there, I got chit-chatting with a fellow who's a struggling comics artist, who used to work as a manager in a grocery store, so we got talking about comics and grocery store horror stories, like his adventures with a haunted register where customers would trip for no reason, or the day a disgruntled ex-employee hacked into their computer system using "a Pringles can and a laptop" (How the hell does someone pull that off??). I came within inches of asking him if he'd be interested in helping me out with the "Constantine"/"Hellblazer" comic-idea I'm tinkering with, but as I overheard him say, he's got enough next-to-nothing jobs on his hands right now.

I almost bought a volume of "Promethea", based on a reccommendation "seven" gave over on [livejournal.com profile] for_zion, even if *is* by Alan Moore, and some of you may remember my rant about his attitude problem. It's been described, in "seven"'s words as "a primer on soulbonding". Only trouble was, it was book 4 and I felt wierd about starting in the middle.

Also got the next volume of the "Fullmetal Alchemist" manga, and as luck would have it, I'm now developing a crush on Lust...

Watched the DVD of "Vanity Fair": Reese Witherspoon is starting to grow on me as an actress, and I loved the costuming in this movie (and the bit with Regency-era ladies trying to be Indian nautch dancers made me smile; hey, it was directed by a Bollywood director, it's entitled to have an Indian dance number in it).

Ref: ::During the nautch-girl number:: "Nice... Hey, that's one style of dance I never tried."

Me: "What's that?"

Ref: "Egyptian dance. Maybe I should give it a try: I hear it's great exercise... which could help me whittle off this baby-weight." ::Looking down at herself; she's not as skinny as she was when I first "met" her, but she's certainly not fat, either::

Me: "Does this have something to do with the fact that you and Armand have been staying in Marrakesh, while he's on business?"

Ref: "Probably. I guess it's that near-eastern exoticism that's growing on me."

Watch out for Lust. Like most of the manga characters, the Ultimate Lance is a little batshit.

She's pretty decent in the anime series, though.
