So I left late for Free Comic Book Day because of family and grandma stuff. I haven't read the comics yet, but among the titles I actually bought was issue 1 of Marvel's version of Pride and Prejudice. Novelty buy.

I also had the following conversation with the cashier guy at the first store:
"Is [Neil] Gaiman's Batman any good?"
The cashier says yeah, and explains that you can jump right in without reading some issues beforehand, that it's more an elegy for Batman.

"Oh, so it's after the Batman death thing"

"Yeah. Although he's not really dead," just being kept somewhere or something.

"Ha. He can't be dead, He's Batman!"

The guy says something about them never really killing anyone.

"Unless it's Captain America," I said.

"Yeah, but he's coming back too."

"Oh right, yeah. They always come back," I replied. "Even Jason Todd."

The cashier smiled at that. "Haha, that's right."

I was so happy after that convo. It's been so long since I had a proper geeky conversation in non-online life! The last time was probably... around December 19th. I wish I was able to meet more with my geeky/fannish friends. ha, I haven't been able to meet outside of class/clubs with friends the whole semester, just random run-ins on the street. I have some conversations with classmates, but they're normal. Or normalish. Well, except for [livejournal.com profile] poet77 (hi hi hi!), but we sadly don't get to talk much outside of class.

I wonder if anyone will be available for my 21st birthday next month. Usually scheduling is difficult, and last year I ended up just going around Santana Row with my family.

PRETTY THINGS I RAN INTO WHILE SHOPPING AT NORDSTROM (for clothes for my mom's reunion)
They are way too expensive, but I can look, can't I?
I was glad to find out that there was a shirt similar to one I got for about $30. The material did feel nicer, but the connected scarf/sash/whatever didn't do anything for it. That was $695. hahaha I prefer mine better

back to the good stuff.

lol my poor cell phone pic lighting



this Leifsdottir Siren Flower cotton/silk dress
looks kind of blah draped on her, but the dress sooooo amazing in person.
I wonder if the sizes they had fit me. Oh well, haha, it was $248. But hey, machine washable!
oh wait Nordstrom's site is up again
the dress



argh I could not find that online
all I get from the Nordstrom site is this
but the press stuff I found while searching is interesting.
Hanii Y designer Hanii Yoon's creations incorporate the formality and propriety of her Korean upbringing with the independent spirit and bohemian culture she encountered upon moving to San Francisco. After attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, the designer began developing Hanii Y. Intertwining aspects of "old world" and "new world" became the basis of her design philosophy, an aesthetic reflected in her employing both vintage and modern elements in her designs.
cool
Half of the acclaimed husband and wife team of Y (Hanii Yoon) and Kei (Gene Kang) launched the Hanii Y line.
I kept on seeing this cool jacket turn up in search, though.

The trailer for District 9 is finally out!



I kind of prefer the more gritty look of the short film it's based on, "Alive in Joburg," but Neill Blomkamp's short work is amazing, and I'd like to see what he can do with a feature-length film, especially one produced by Peter Jackson.

The official site is interesting too.


and lol this headline: District 9 trailer kicks G.I. Joe trailer's ass

It's Free Comic Book Day!


the international participating store locator

US store locator can be found on the same page as the Gold and Silver free items

creator signings
hey there might be some not listed on there
like I don't think Ted Naifeh (Courtney Crumrin, Polly and the Pirates) was listed but he was signing at Lee's Comics in Mountain View

I hope we can get the good stuff...my brother's taking the SAT and my mom says we can't go to Free Comic Book Day until my dad finishes mowing the lawn...

Owly will probably be gone...

haha I end up spending quite a bit on this day
