No classes today! But rain. I suppose on the cosmic scale it balances out.

In other news, I have completely fallen off the comic books wagon. I haven't read anything new since my random Spider-villlianitis kicked in and forced me to read the Brand New Day one-shot that details Hammerhead's origins. While I still prefer the look of the "Spectacular Spider-Man" cartoon version (low head, menacing growl, knuckledusters and expensive suits), the author clearly put some thought in to the characterization of the guy. It helps to lift him out of the huge pit of underdeveloped villains and into an actual character.

In the life of the Bean:
The application deadlines for Harvard Divinity are Jan 12, which means I have a little time, but I still should get myself started on this stuff pretty soon.
Oh, the stuff I need to get done, really.

I need a new travel mug and a new spine.

falling OFF the wagon generally means you have relapsed into an addiction....its a common mistake to use it to mean the opposite!

No, I meant it literally. I've been having my comics delivered my covered wagon from prairie dwelling Amish folk- I tripped buying a copy of Astonishing X-Men and took it as an omen.
