Well, I finally did get to read some of the comics I got almost two weeks ago now. I didn't even post to you what all I received. Things have just been so hectic around here and the weather change has had me sickly and hurting.

I also figured out that I really haven't been eating much lately. It hadn't occurred to me until a friend said she'd noticed I had lost some weight. I hadn't noticed it, but I may have dropped a few pounds. What made me think about it was when I looked in the freezer and saw all the meats I have! Apparently, I haven't cooked a damned thing all month long, so don't ask me how it was that I had no dishes until I washed them Thanksgiving Day... and honestly, there weren't even that many then!

I've been subsisting on TV dinners and a solitary pizza which lasted about 4 days (and of which I ate every last bite), plus the errant sandwich and chips. I will admit that I have been pretty hungry most days, but I have snacked my way through. So last night, I made a steak with potatoes and black-eyed peas - very tasty, quite filling - and there's more than enough leftover for a repeat performance.

My tummy is growling right now, in fact, but I just woke up and am not even halfway through my first cup of coffee. I've got a cabinet full of breakfast goods - grits and oats and flavored, pre-packaged oatmeal and Pop-Tarts, etc. - not to mention eggs and three kinds of cheeses and lunchmeat for omelets - so there's no reason at all as to why I haven't been eating breakfast, I just haven't.

It's the sort of thing that makes me pine for a girlfriend and possibly 2.1 rugrats. But then I look around at all my cool comics and gaming supplies and grasp my growling gut and fire up a smoke...

Anyway, got some more PRs for you today, then I've got some TV and comics news in general, and I'll review the X-Men Messiah CompleX one-shot (as soon as I've finished reading the whole thing), as well as the Daredevil Annual #1. Also some good weird news over to The OddBlog in the works, so seeing as how I took just about the entire week off (pretty much the entire town did, so I couldn't do anything when I tried!), today will be a busy day. I will try to go in runs, with a few breaks here and there, so you aren't completely overwhelmed, but since I have to go to the store when it warms up some (it's 28° now!), things should work out just fine.

Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving!
