Well, Im back from the annual comicon and Im finaly finished the tally.
I ended up coming home with 210 single issues (thats about one full longbox), and 4 trade paperbacks. Money spent was app. 300. And only 3 of the books purchesed I already owned. So statisticals, thats about 1.43 an issue, with an accuracy of 99.98572%, which is pretty damned good considering that I had misplaced the list that alostrael was so kind to print out for me, being that I was out of ink...
And an extra-special shout-out to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alostrael for going with me, keeping me company, helping me carry the books, and putting up with my obcessive buying spree.... THANKS!!! IT WAS FUN!!!!!!!
I just wish I had the energy to go out to Finns later that night, but hell, I still had moving to do...
( oh yeah, I finaly got this adroable thing I saw a few years ago at the con... ) Signed by the artist, no less...
As for today...
I was on my way out the door with a load of boxes, when I happened upon a nice old lady I used to be in the same division with at work. I guess she was moving in as I was moving out. Anyway, she was telling me that her husband just asked for a divorace after 30 some odd years of marriage, and refusing to pay alamony, child support, etc etc. I didnt really know her THAT well, but I did feel kinda sorry for her. Starting 0ut from scratch when you're in your 40s is not a good way to start, let alone without any support from friends and family. Plus, I can imagine that it can be hard to find a mate when you get to be that age (which is why I tend to get depressed about not having a consort... Id hate to be a 45 year old bachalor). She was also something of a depressive person too. Anyway, we chatted for a bit, I gave her a few encouraging words, then she came out and hugged me, which was unexpected as I am not used to that sort of thing, but it did feel good to know that I brought at least SOME level of comfort to a person who lost so much and betrayed so without warning...
But other than that, its a beautiful day...
(its always that... "other than _____ it was a great day
when you think about it...)
