8月30日 My Copy of Little Brother Arrived Yesterday
I finally managed to slip a hard cover copy of Cory Docotorow’s Little Brother in my Amazon check out cart. I read it last when Xie was going through her surgery. So I had an art print for it, but I didn’t own the hard cover. I’m still thinking about picking up a couple more copies to hand out. I needed it for myself first. When I went out on a food run earlier I put in Xie’s hands and had her start it. So far she hasn’t made it through chapter one, she did say it struck a chord with her and I was right that it was the type of book she would enjoy reading. We’ll see what she thinks when she is done with it. 8月21日 I Admit it, I Liked Archie Comics Growing Up
Picture from here I know that I’m a boy and I should have liked high action comics with super heroes and big explosions. Somehow until I was in my teenage years officially I liked Archie Comics the best. I’m not going not say that I identified with Archie or anyone else in the comics, I just found them wildly entertaining. I literally had hundreds of Archie comics (they were dirt cheap at the flea market compared to the action comics that cost 5 times as much). I had a ton of the digests and “double digests”, though I can say when I see the occasional double digest these days at the super market aisle I am chagrined that it is the size of the old single digest. What is the single digest a one sheet strip now? I also can not tell you the last time I saw and actual Archie comic sold in a new comic books rack, though I don’t look that closely these days.   The age old debate that is probably older then Ginger versus Maryanne is Betty or Veronica. I’m a Betty fan all the way (and Maryanne also). The down home girl is the one for me in these scenarios. In 1990 Archie was still still trying to decide between Betty and Veronica in a made for TV movie Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again that takes place fifteen years after high school. I can say even though I was fourteen when it came out I was excited and watched it when it came out. I video taped it and watched it again and again. This reminds me I need to hunt down a copy of that now.
Enjoy a couple clips from the TV movie:
 My favorite character of course was Jughead - Nuff Said. 8月1日 The Tales of Beedle the Bard
