Nothing Much, Some Reading

Well, today has actually been cooler than we've become accustomed to this year. It even rained for nearly a full minute last night! It probably topped 100° at some point, but most of the day, the temperature showed as right around 97° or so and it's 92 right now (at 7:20 PM) and really not completely unpleasant. In fact, it says it's supposed to get down to 65° tonight, which would be nice, but I'll believe it when I feel it!

I may get some more of these press releases out to you tonight and tomorrow. There are just a few left and I anticipate more once the week starts, so there will definitely be some more comics news in your immediate future. But I do need to get back to the ol' OddBlog for a bit, as well.

I am champing at the bit for the mail to arrive this week. Growing up, I had gotten a little book entitled Magic Kingdom for Sale... Sold! and absolutely loved it. A few years later, I learned that it had spawned an entire trilogy, but I didn't read the others, even though I wanted to. I didn't read them because I had given the book away (you know, "loaned" it to a friend, who "loaned" it to someone else, etc.) and I kind of wanted to re-read it, then go straight through the series.

Well, a few weeks back, I was telling a friend about how great the first one was and I was walking around, looking at my books, and found both the second and third installment of the series out of order from one another on my many shelves o' books! Excited, I hopped on the ol' eBay and promptly ordered the first one. So as soon as it arrives this week (hopefully), I am going to read the entire series, back-to-back, and let you know about it as I go.

I'm hoping it's as good as I remember it. I'll be sure to let you know.
