freeing myself today

It didn't take long after I left work today for me to start feeling like myself again and for that I am grateful. The fact that I let work irritate me at all still bothers me. I should know by now that nothing they say to and or about me is important. Their words have no value. As long as I remember that truth I should be fine.

My boss wasn't in the office this morning and I won't see him until next week. That simple combination of events was enough to change my mood almost immediately for the better. Then the moment that I stepped out the front door I was free to do whatever I wanted. Of course that meant a stop at the local book store after I did a couple of errands.

Now thanks to the eclectic selection of comic books at Half Price Books, I walked away with nineteen new issues for ten dollars. Here is what I bought:

  • Crimson Plague - 2
  • DV8 - 8, 11
  • Firestorm - 59
  • Force Works - 12
  • Gen 13 - 31, 36
  • Michael Moorcock's Universe - 9
  • The New Titans - 75
  • The Omega Men - 4
  • Power of the Atom - 15
  • Powers - 15
  • Starman - 20, 31, 41
  • Tellos - 4
  • Warlord - 56
  • X-O Manowar - 62, 3

Of that stack, the very first book that I read was the issue of Powers. For some reason I abandoned the book for about a year and issue fifteen fell within that gap. Finding it made the stop at the store worthwhile. That isn't to say that I don't appreciate the other issues that I found while I was there. Overall it was a very impressive find for me.

...

I sampled yet another effort from the world of Bollywood. This time I didn't go with an historical film, but chose something more light hearted. I went with the comedy Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, because Kareena Kapoor was the love interest. Once again I must stress that these movies are an acquired taste. Most of the acting is over the top and the musical interludes are a standard. What was even more silly this time around was the animated dog and parrot that would interact with the live cast members.
