I spent a lovely day in Tacoma this past week (35 minutes south of Seattle). A strange city, which reminds me a bit of cities on the east coast (old buildings, lots of brick). Beth and I packed a picnic, walked a bit, sat by Puget Sound, walked through a greenhouse, got some vegan dinner, and walked some more.
The W.W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory
It got a bit chilly Saturday night, and so Beth and I rented Nausicaa and watched it in front of a fire, both of which are always a pleasure.
I’ve posted a page of what books I’ve been reading (which means: listening to them on audiobook), there is also a link up with my other personal links. I started the list in November of 2007, around when I started really getting into audiobooks. Honestly, I’m sure I forgot to put quite a few books in there. It doesn’t say anything about them or rate them or anything like that. Oh, and it doesn’t include comic books or graphic novels, not as a statement of value, but as a media. I don’t list movies either. But if you’re curious what i’ve been reading, there it is.
This has been a great week for comics for me. I finally got my hands on the new (and last) Scott Pilgrim, I finally finished reading the entire archive of Marooned, and I spent a lovely afternoon with Steve Gallacci and then re-read the first three issues of Albedo. All three were excellent reads.
yes, yes ok but what about YURI for crying out loud? Chopped up limbs?! How can you leave us in suspense like this?!
Oh, come now. She’s saying, “aaiiieeee!!!” a LOT in this strip! Corpses don’t go, “aaiiieeee!!!” Even if zombified, it’d be more like “auggueeegghhh!!!” :)
I just lurv Shuar’s expression in panel 7. Strikes me as she is entirely out of her depth. Emily is just a nut, though. A really scary tough nut. We can only hope for Yuri, though, she was keen on getting cyborged, so may get her chance, like it or not.
“The Galactic Organization of ZAP?”
“No, wait, let me try that again…”
Steve Gallacci! Cool! I loved Albedo, back when it was coming out.
And now he’s back (yay!) and stealing my comments (Hey!). I was gonna say that! Sort of. I was gonna do a bit about her emulating Steve Austin, but the heck with it now. Damn you, Gallacci!!
;)
That is SO cool! I NEVER thought we would ever see Martina actually get angry! I do hope Yuri’s limbs can be regrown, or something like that. (“Paging Gray17 to the medical bay” “Is that a directive?”) And it could be worse: Dustin could be helping.
And speaking of things getting diced, how are the plans for the Great Cookrookerie Butterscotch Battle coming?
(What? It’s early, I haven’t had breakfast, and I’m hungry.)
Don’t worry about Yuri, we can rebuild her… we have the technology! :D
I lol’d at the tailor comment. :D Yes, something is odd. If she’s being dismembered and her limbs are diced up, how is she yelling like that… wouldn’t she be in shock and dying? Hmm. I suspect something isn’t as it appears!
OOOoooOOoooo this getting good!
Ohh crap I laughed so much that tears came to my eyes. There are folks walking by my cubicle wondering what the hell is going on. That humping scene was hilarious.
Martina sure dominated the Galactic Insult Lexicon fast! (Hmmm, maybe that should be an actual book)
@Rags: looks more like it’s the Galactic Organization of Saps
Shuar’s clothes turned pink in the last panel.
humping a dead alien…who knew you’d ever go so low to achieve greatness?
Thanks, @Genetecist. I’ll fix that. And that is the actual color I use for her outfit, but with the washes it appears dark brown, I must have forgot to put washes in that area.
@Matt, who’s to say she’s dead? Not that I wouldn’t stoop that low, I certainly would.
@Tom: You’ll live through having your legs and arms cut off. It won’t be pleasant, but you’ll live. Until you bleed out. (Goodmorning! )
My favorite thing about these latest couple of pages is being able to picture you giggling maniacally as you created them.
Holy crap! SO funny, and yet kinda disturbing… in a very entertaining way. Emily IS totally nuts. But I think it’s completely awesome that she is wearing her coat over her spacesuit!
Ah @Jenn, you know me too well. ;-)
Is this really the time to be mocking Dmitri? Jeepers she could be molesting a corpse and call it funny in the name of humility.
