volcanic sand beach After work this morning I set foot inside my local bank for the first time in months if not years. The reason for my long absence is that I am a big believer in doing all of my financial transactions online or at a banking machine. The only reason that I was there was that I needed to sign some paperwork that would affect my mutual funds account. It was odd being there. That isn't to say that the building itself was odd, but that I just don't go inside banks anymore. What was once a familiar routine for most people seemed almost foreign to me. Everything went well with the paperwork, but what I do want to mention is that I need to add Seychelles to my list of places that I must see before I die. In the stack of magazines at the bank, there was a travel magazine that sang the praises of this country off the eastern coast of Africa that makes some Polynesian islands envious. Now this was not my first exposure to said paradise, but it was nice to see it get some good press. Plus the photos were so lush and inviting. ... Having finished reading all but one comic from this month's stack from Mile High Comics, I sifted through back issues that needed to be read and chose the first issue of the Sword of the Atom mini-series that DC did back in 1983. My primary reason for buying the series was the Gil Kane artwork and so far I liked what I read in the first issue. Gil has a very iconic look to his work that I have yet to see anyone today mimic. The best way that I can describe his people is that they are a cross between Greek sculpture and something almost alien. |
