Usual big ole braindump
Jan. 28th, 2004 02:41 pmThings of note over the past few days, including my trip to San Jose.
I read through some League of Extraordinary Gentlemen that Jason lent me. As usual, comics never get me all that excited, but there were enjoyable portions here and there. I confess that I found the most enjoyable thing to be the vintage-style ads. They (and some of the letters to the editor) capture the diction and flavor of the 19th century so much better than the actual comic.
I also finished reading another book Jason lent us, The Etched City, by K.J. "utterly-failing-to-disguise-her-gender-by-using-initials" Bishop.
