No earthshaking events directly related to my writing or reading. Nearly finished reading Weiss & Hickman's Annotated Chronicles. Nice to still have some scenes feel fresh since they're not as seared into my brain , the way other well read texts have been. 65% of the way through the Alexander the Great biography I'm reading and his death is finally looming on the horizon. I'm still on the fence wheather I would recommend this text to another person as a starter text on this historical icon.
DC comics relaunch and subsequent uproar over the lack of women writers, artists and lead characters among the new 52 comics line coming out in September has made me question what titles I thought I would check out. In an industry that is doing its best to stay relevant, to alienate 1/2 of the humans on planet earth isn't ideal. Growing up with comics as teenager, I was drawn more to characters than the writers or artists at first, only as I grew to learn more about the industry and have dipped my foot in the waters , do some of these imbalances seem more impractical to my eyes 20 years later.
Oddly quiet Sunday morning at the house, this naturally make me restless, and since I spent my allotted 30 mins scanning over the news stories online and checking social websites to make sure half world didn't blow up. I feel my work here is done.
AN ENDING HAS A START
