My Five Day Weekend
Sep. 4th, 2012 08:23 amDespite some dreary weather, I had a pretty good weekend recovering from the prior week.
- My buddy ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aceofspace drove down Thursday night to stay a couple of nights on his way to our hometown. It's always good to hang out. We drove out to an aviation store called "Sporty's" so he could buy some stuff (he has his pilot's license) and watched some movies at my house, including Drive Angry, which I think is highly-underrated as entertaining schlock.
- While at Sporty's, I got a bit irritated at the young sales clerk. For just buying a tee-shirt, she wanted my address. I tried to explain to her that I was not in the aviation world and wouldn't use her catalog or fliers for anything but recycling, but she just looked at me confused. It was like she didn't know what to do if she didn't punch in that info. An older clerk said she'd fix it so I wouldn't get mailings, but then the young lady asked for my phone number and I balked. And to top it off, the XL tee-shirt I wanted turned out to be a 2XL. She pulled the wrong one. Ugh. A little time at high heat in the dryer fixed that at least.
- Afteraceofspace left, I cruised a bookstore and found this photo of a disco-party kitty on the back of a puzzle box. It made me smile a lot.
- I saw The Possession on Sunday. It stars my future husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan as a father who inadvertently buys a cursed ornate box for his daughter. She becomes possessed by the demon inside and he must save her. Not the most original movie, but I liked it. While Morgan doesn't go shirtless, he does raise his shirt and expose his furry tummy for a few seconds. I melted.
- Besides catching up on my sleep, a very large chunk of the weekend was spent working on issue #8 of my comic. I colored until the wee morning hours and got the whole thing finished, except for the cover, which I still need to draw. Hopefully the issue will be out later this week. Here is a teaser page, which gives no spoilers.
Look! A background! :D
