Whee!

It is ridiculous how excited I am about the new BTVS season eight comics since I have yet to see all of season seven.

Tomorrow, folks! TOMORROW!

I have to wait till I get back to LA because San Diego sucks and has no comic book stores nearby. :|

Well, you could pre-order it from Things From Another World and they'll deliver it straight to your door. That's what I did, mostly for the convenience and the whole avoid-awkward-meeting-with-old-friend's-parents/brothers (they own the only comic book store near me).

Also? Dude. This monitor that used to work with my mom on one of her studies way back in the day complained quite a bit about San Diego. She said you could find tons more cultural offerings here in Houston because basically you have the beach and the zoo and the Navy in SD. Shame since it's so frickin' gorgeous down there. My uncle loved it when he was stationed there.

Ehh, that requires effort. Filling out stuff and paying for shipping. I'm lazy. :P I'll just wait till Spring Break. It's only a week and a half away and there's a comic book store two blocks from my house in LA and one two blocks from my best friend's house.

I feel like there's no life in San Diego. I do profiles for arts events for my internship and it's the same old play or museum exhibit every time. Nothing very interesting and nothing you can't see somewhere else.

Also, it's not all pretty. San Diego has a very constructed sunny, tourist image. That's only coastal SD. SD county is a lot bigger than that and very disconnected. LA's a big city, but all the areas have a connection. It's not like that in SD.

Hee. Yeah, but you're a more motivated kind of lazy. See, my lazy, avoiding way of getting the comics involves tippy-tappy on the laptop whilst reclining in bed. You actually want to go out and go somewhere. I'm a rung below you on the lazy ladder.

This makes me feel like I'm not fully appreciating how good I have it. I mean, the Museum of Fine Arts is just a bus stop down the way from work and Thursdays are free. I could be thisclose to Renoir and van Gogh and I'm not availing myself of it like I should. Must change that STAT.

As Houston has grown, it's become a lot more connected. It isn't any big thing to spend an hour on the freeway going from one end of the city to other. The only problem is that public transportation hasn't kept up with that growth (as it is rather sprawled out) so Houston is a very car-centric city (hence, Chicago's initial appeal). And don't even get me started on the stupidity of utilizing a ground rail system in a city that is below sea level and as a result floods regularly. During Allison, the medical center had riverfront property, a river formally known as Holcombe Boulevard.

God, I cannot wait to get out of this city.
