My stomach has been bad - achey, bloaty and gassy since Monday night. I blame the extreme amounts of wheat based foodstuffs I ate on Sunday and Monday. I haven't had enough dairy to blame it on that, unless it was the cheese on Lee's delish home made pizza?
mmmm home made pizza.
I went for a quick run this morning. It's still hard, but by the time I'm heading home, it's easier. I got too hot today, summer will be hard to run in I think.
Train is nice on sunny mornings. The train conductor knows me know and knows which stop I get off at. It's nice. There are a few other regular train users who I have come to recognise. One is "not going to school teen"*, one is "funky arty chick who works in Jville" and the other is "going to school, left boyfriend in Wgtn station teen". I make up things about them, like that funky chick works in Jville. She could work anywhere, but it's fun to give them little stories.
I've read a slew of Graphic novels lately. The absolute highlight is Off Road which is a comic about three guys with a jeep. It's just awesome. So much testosterone I could practically smell it. Lee enjoyed it too, so it can't have been bad. It's pretty much autobiographical I think, and yeah. Cool. By Sean Murphy.
I also read Bite Club by Howard Chaykin which is an alright yarn about a vampiric mafia family. Some neat stuff about vampires being a known minority and having to use SPF 130 sunscreen. My favourite part by far was a page sized cover art reprint, so the story can't have been that crash hot. It was pleasantly diverting though.
I also read a new Robin title called To Kill a Bird in which (Tim) Robin appears to be becoming Nightwing. I'm not sure why. The problem with only reading 'current' Batman stuff as the library picks it up is that I miss big chunks of story and I have to piece it together from references.
Anyway, it was a neat story with some cool stuff about him relocating to a new school since his last one was the scene of a bloody gunfight, and I am looking forward to reading the next one, so the Robin fangirl is alive and well. Also, it's by Bill Willingham who writes Fables, so it's bound to get better once all the setup is done with.
I am now reading a Superman/Batman crossover about the return of Supergirl. It's fine.
*I always think she's going to stay on and go to Raroa but she gets off at the first stop. I wonder where she goes? Does she work at the supermarket?
