cashew, now that she's gotten over her jetlag and is no longer sleep deprived.
First, we had lunch at IB's. Their food doesn't look like it's a lot, but we were both stuffed coming out. Not to mention IB's is not the place to go for health-conscious food. You can practically hear your arteries clogging as you eat. On the flip side, the food is absolutely delicious. I had curly fries to go with my eggplant parmeson grilled sandwich... plus like 4 cuplets of ketchup to go with that. *sweatdrop*
We went to Barnes and Noble afterwards. I flipped through some of the comic trades on a lark, starting with the Superman/Batman one that received all the ridicule from the Rumbles board, just to see what the outcry was about. Heh. They were right. It was very, very, very bad writing. Thoughcashew and I had fun making fun of the dialogue that just sounded oh-so-slashy. *snicker* Also read the first Fables book, which is one of the Vertigo titles; I've heard some really good stuff about the series. It is pretty good, though I still prefer the Lucifer series. After that, I flipped through the JLA book "Rules of Engagement", which had the post-Obsidian JLA lineup with Firestorm, Major Disaster, Faith, and Manitou Raven. Eh, there were quite a few amusing and chuckle-worthy moments in that one... Then I read the new Outsiders trade, and also had fun with cashew chuckling over that one. She loved the Lex Luthor scenes in it, and I thought the dialogue between Nightwing and Arsenal (Dick and Roy) sounded like an old married couple. Heh. We have too much slash on our minds. Seriously. ^_^;;
Well, we were supposed to go textbook shopping forcashew before the stores closed, but neither of us felt like leaving the bookshop for it, so we blew that off and went to Comic Relief instead (around 6:30-ish). While there, I flipped through (and showed her) the three issues of Identity Crisis that all the yelling and screaming on the CBR DCU board was about (and because of which Chuck got banned). My impression? An overall "Eh". I have no emotional investment in the story or the characters, beyond what I have to deal with at CBR.
Finally, I got yet another version of CSTAR fromcashew. (Thankyouthankyouthankyou) This one works for my Windows, yay...... well, all except for Photoshop. *slump* I guess this should probably be blamed on the obsoleteness of my Photoshop (version 5.5) than anything else. Note to self: pick up an upgrade or newer version of Photoshop the next time I go back to China. In the mean time, I guess I'll just have to put a hold on chinese text icons/images. -_-
