You know what rocks on my day off? Being woken up by 2 morons with a chain saw chopping down trees in the park at 8:30 in the morning. I don't ask for much on my days off. I just like sleeping in a little bit. I'm up at 7 in the morning on most days for work and i like to catch up on sleep on Wednesday and Thursday. Of course this also woke up Diana so there was no going back to sleep. Oh well. I guess thats a small thing to bitch at.
Just a few minutes ago the first batch of comic book convention guests was announced. So far the guests include Billy Dee Williams and Lou Ferrigno and Beau Bridges. Kind of neat. Not sure if i would stand in line to talk to anyone. Besides waiting to meet Henry Winkler last year the only other time i waited was to talk to a comic book writer named Brian Michael Bendis. It was an hour wait but i did get him to sign a copy of Ultimate Spiderman issue 1. My friend Mike was with me and we couldnt believe some of the fans who had boxes of stuff for the guy to sign. You know it was all going on ebay. My friend Mike asked him if he ever felt like jamming a pen in a fans thorax for making him sign a box of comics. Classic Mike. Maybe i will wait to meet Beau Bridges if Rob and Nicole come. He was in Stargate after all. And no guys you can't invite the "oh a piece of candy" guy.
Speaking of comic books,tomorrow is free comic book day. Once a year all comic book stores in North America set aside a day to hand out free comics. All the different comic book companies are involved and usually provide comics containing reprints. This year is a bit different, Dc comics is providing a brand new never before seen Green Lantern story which actually kicks off a major story this summer. I cant get the day off from getting yelled at by rednecks so Kath and Diana are going. Fingers crossed there will still be a copy of the Green Lantern story when they get there.
Spoke with our friend "the cat lady" and it looks like tomorrow Merlin the Cat will be joining the Stewart family . Diana has agreed to feed the cats from now on. Should be interesting.
Finally got to do a wagon ride today. Thought it was going to rain again but it got hot. Dumb ass me was wearing a leather jacket. Did more vacuuming and cleaning.Back to the grind tomorrow. Kath will be home soon. Will actually make it to the dollar store and maybe get another slurpee. Just heard from my friend Mike (of wait in line to meet Bendis fame) and he is definately in for Wolverine on Sunday. We're still hoping Andrea can make it. Hopefully her work schedule permits it. Thats it for now i guess. Just gonna wait for Kath to get home. Have a great first of may everybody.
