Some kind of spaceship. Art As I said in a post a day or so ago, I discovered a ton of science fiction magazine covers on Wikimedia the other day. I keep going back to them, they're so much fun to look at. There's some that I have clicked on and looked at three or four times and go back to look at them again and find something new and cool about them. The above picture is something I kind of drew on a kick and I'm pleasantly surprised how it turned out (two others I tried though, left me horribly disappointed). As I was drawing this, Dala showed me pictures of sunrises and auroras on Earth taken from outer space. Now those were cool. Coffee A while back I ranted how the only coffee ever made in the morning is Maxwell House and while I don't hate Maxwell House, I've gotten pretty tired of drinking it every single morning. I think I've finally turned everyone in the house onto the importance of variety, because for the past week or so, there hasn't been a can of that stuff in the cupboard at all. We got all sorts of bags of other stuff. Starbucks, Seattle's Best, random shit from random brands. I'm pretty happy about that. News I officially hate three out of my four local television news programs now. They're all getting to the point where they'll tell you the majority of the story, but if you want to full details, you'll have to download their app. If that's not a bunch of bullshit, I don't know what is. Books Dala and I went to a local bookstore the other day to hang out with some friends. I've talked about them before a few times, but Fantagraphics has a bunch of books collecting stories from EC Comics. I wasn't gonna buy anything yesterday, but when I saw they had The Million Year Picnic I decided to snatch it up. These books are absolutely fantastic and I can't recommend them enough.
I've had Chock Full of Nuts a few times. It really is surprisingly good. You can also get Cafe Bustelo in tins. Same thing for Eight O'Clock Coffee. Same thing for a half a dozen other brands. Why people would insist on getting the same coffee week in and week out and why it always seems to be either Folgers or Maxwell House is a mystery to me. They're like the Budweiser and Miller of Coffee.
