Catzilla killed one plant and managed to make a mess of the apartment in the few days it was left to fend for itself. I was not amused and have been giving serious thought to getting rid of the little terror. Its one thing to have my furniture clawed and to be jumped on at 5:30 in the morning every single day I manage to make it home, it is quite another to find plants masacred by her highness because she was feeling neglected. Friday, tired after Comic Con, finding I needed to pick up after her pissed me off enough to throw her whinny bum out of the apartment while I evaluated the damage. She peed on the potted palm tree I got at Ikea. I don'y blame her for her distate for my questionable home furnishings but the systematic attack on that poor plant had me thinking evil thoughts like dumping her ass out of the car somewhere.
Comic Con was okey, about what I expected. Only thing worth mentioning here is the Batman panel, just a personal thing, even if they didn't have so much as slides to illustrate what the discussions were about. I'm not enough into comics to recognize the artists, but it was a good interesting hour that left me with the desire to seek out some Batman trade that I haven't read before.
After cleaning up Catzilla's mess I sat down to read "Sleep While I Drive" by
seperis. It kept pretty much to what the WIP I read before, the ending just winding down from the long read. I liked it. Wondered if jenn started this before or after "A Handful of Dust." Darker stuff is more my speed, but I can see myself rereading SWID more than AHoD. It takes more stamina to stay with AHoD, maybe.
Didn't download any other new stories for this weekend, so I'll go over what I have saved to disk and maybe even finish an actual book, for once. I'm trying Choim Potok's "The Chosen" after hearing an interview with him on "Fresh Air." It's a little dissapointing, I thought its was going to be a little grittier, harsher, but so far the story is going along at an "Afterschool Special" pace. Sweet. Sweet can work, but not for an entire 300 pages. It will be hard to get through it if it doesn't change gears soon and may join the piles of novels I couldn't be bothered to finish.
Car situation is still not completely solved. Another reason to whine if I so desire, but PMS will be rolling along any day now so that will be an all purpose whine and cover any and all worthy situations.
