I’m Not Reading This, But I Wish I Was
By Roz Young, October 17 2011
So, I find that I often purchase things for people that I think look interesting. And then I wish I’d bought a copy for myself. Because I have excellent taste. I’ve done this a few times lately so I’m going to post some links to things as a review of awesomeness to come. As in, I think these things are probably amazing, but I can’t really say for sure because I haven’t actually read them yet. Make sense? Gravy.

This link is to the Cowboy Ninja Viking blog about a comic that I wish I was reading. I will go out and buy this. You might want to as well. This badass dude has multiple personalities, and he is ALL three things: cowboy (hells yes), ninja (amazaballs!) and Viking (/sexy). So… I’m sold. The art looks crazy cool and the copy I bought for someone else has been well received.

Next, We3 is the comic series I almost bought and now have serious regrets about leaving behind. It looks intense, emotionally, and beautifully strange. Three animals, a dog, a cat and a rabbit, are turned into robotic soldiers and attempt to escape to find “home”. I was worried that they don’t all make it and wasn’t sure that I’m not a fragile girl who would just sit and cry constantly reading about adorable pets in pain. But, I think I’m missing out on something awesome. I’m going to put on my big girl Hello Kitty shirt and pick up the three issues.
This book is a debut novel that I’m told will blow your socks off. I’m going to read it. When I finish reading all the other things I’m supposed to be reading but I’ve been very distracted.
In other news, I play Portal now. Portal is cool. It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally taken the plunge and now I have a problem. Also, I want cake. Understandably, I now must have the sequel. But first, I will bake (Is this game equally as addictive as sugar?). The internets are full of recipes for the Portal cake, which, I gather is a bit of spoiler for the game’s sequel so I’m avoiding actually reading too much. Here you go, if you want some cake that isn’t a lie.http://jedifreac.livejournal.com/714209.html
