The "L" in LJ stands for Loki

Darned LJ, I wanted to post last night and the site was so down that the domain name didn't even seem to exist.

Oh well! Two related, non-health things:

Oh darned WIP fics! avocado_love wrote two Avengers fics and they're both WIP and they're both eating my brain because they're so good and I want to know MORE MORE MORE but there's no more to read yet.

That did get me back into fic-reading though -- I just wish I could find something as good.

Speaking of reading, I'm never going to hit 50 books this year. I haven't even started the second one for the year yet! Blah. My mother is flying home on Sunday, then I'll have reading time/privacy?/space/mindset back.

Speaking of reading and Avengers: there's a Loki comic book! And based on the reviews it looks good! I need to get my hands on a copy. I've not been in a comic book store in ages, should be a fun visit.

Comic books are expensive

I picked up the Loki comic today. The shop was a little uncomfortable in an overly friendly sort of way (three employees all helping just me, one joking and doing voices and such). The comic came out yesterday and had already sold out, but they sold me a copy saved for someone's monthly mail order (thus they had time to replace it).

I really, really liked the story and the art was spiffy, but $3 for something I read in minutes was unreasonabilly priced. I will buy future ones because I want to support Loki things, but I'm not happy about the price.

The shop included a bunch of preview book thingies. It shouldn't surprise me how many Avengers-world comics there are. I'm going to poke around for some online. Speaking of, I need to see if there's an online subscription or something for the Loki series -- I don't really want a physical copy floating around. iPad doesn't like the Marvel site though, so next time I'm on the computer.
