The Haul

It being my birthday and all, I got Stuff. I also met up with the Best Friend and the Math Genius for dinner, which was a very surreal thing. I think the last time I met up with those two in such a capacity, we were all in university, getting drunk at my house, and the Math Genius and I were hopeless losers with exactly Zero Chance In Hell of ever being liked by a girl. Flash forward a decade and a bit later and suddenly the birthday get together is with Best Friend as a successful TV writer, me married with the Wife in tow, and the Math Genius talking about the fact that he’s got a kid on the way.

Holy hell, how did that happen?

As far as stuff goes, I got this: Finally, some really good comic porn! It’s okay to call it porn since even Alan Moore himself has called it porn. This is another one of those books that, when it first came out, I immediately knew there was no chance whatsoever that it would ever be for sale in Singapore, but thanks to the miracle of free speech type rights in North America, I can now own this without getting arrested!

The Tick is something both the Wife and I enjoy, although I enjoyed this original animated series when it first ran back in the 90′s, sporadically on a TV station I can’t even remember now.
