Wow, everyone, summer is almost over and I've barely posted anything. I'll probably have to go look at a calender to figure out what I've even done this summer.

I've mostly been working, really. I average four days and just under 40 hours a week at my comic & games shop. I've learned entirely too much about Magic: The Gathering, read Becky Cloonan's new series Demo (check it out, she's amazing) and most of Ba's Daytripper, and started to understand why Gee Way lived at home for so long--40k is fucking expensive, my friends.

When I wasn't working, I went to an awesome Games Night up near DC (at which I played penis word bananagrams, met some great folks, and drank a lot), cat-sat kirinn and akiko's beautiful kitties for two weeks, mainlined Doctor Who, and went to the beach with my family.

I also went to three amazing shows this summer, twice to see Empires and once to see The Young Veins. The Empires shows were the best in my life, and when Tom Conrad posted a print of the second venue, I bought it immediately. At The Young Veins I had a manipulant and a giant burrito full of real veggies.

Other things;
* Going to the beach with friends this weekend, should be a great time. (And I get a Becki!)
* Trying to get a grown up wardrobe, buying lots of dresses.
* Dragon*Con in less than a month, fuck yeah!
* Stars and Me First & the Gimme Gimmes are swinging by this fall, and I will totally go see them.
