Overdue CD Trip

I discovered that I had a CD from the Lowell library that was hideously overdue, so I went in to take care of that and renew "Stardust" by Neil Gaiman... think of a Thomas Hardy novel crossed with an English fairy tale... exquisite...

I had some printouts to run off, mostly emails from an inbox-clogging penpal of my mother's, but for some strange reason, the CyberCafe wasn't open, so I had to run them off at the MCC Computer Lab... and the printer there is *still* acting weeerd... the margins are all uneven!

I also nipped into the Barnes & Noble: they had the "Constantine" comic-book tie-in (yes, this is turning into the obsession of the week, mostly because of that fanfic I'm writing), which also features three of the "Hellblazer" comics... including one scripted by Neil Gaiman and with artwork by Dave McKean -- does it get any better?? So naturally, I bought it -- what can I say, I'm fond of DC Vertigo and its dark, twisty stuff.

Yes, I'm gonna look for the rest of the "Hellblazer" series. No, I am not gonna turn into one of those comic-book purist-Nazis who yark at the movie. I'm able to let both stand on their own merit.

If you're interested in Hellblazer, get in contact with CharlesRB sometimes. He's a big comic book fan, and he knows/can find out all kinds of stuff for you.
