Ugh, not just back to work, but two hours earlier than usual. Fortunately the customers were dormant all day. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Read: The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor (Shaenon K Garrity, Christopher Baldwin): Graphic novel about a girl who reads too many gothic romances and stumbles into a universe where her genre knowledge is useful. Pretty amusing even though I knew nothing about gothic romances.

Read: Everyone Knows You Shouldn’t Rescue Maidens In Alleyways (AUGUST): Sequel to Even a Hero Needs a Vacation Every Now and Then, in which the hidden hero continues to attract trouble and also accumulate beautiful young women as employees in his tavern. Evil plots are definitely afoot.

Read: Chesire Crossing (Andy Weir, Sarah Andersen): Dorothy, Wendy, and Alice meet as teenagers and find out that they have actual dimension-travel powers. Swashbuckling interdimensional adventure ensues! Alice is the delinquent, Wendy is the tomboy, Dorothy is the sensible one, the adult supervision is somewhat terrifying. The villain teamup is not as terrifying as they want to think, but not bad.

Read: The Stonekeeper (Kazu Kibuishi): Two kids get sucked into a strange fantasy universe with creepy mysterious art and have to save their mom. First of like eight volumes, so there will probably be a lot more plot than that.

Read: “Time Capsule”, “The Captain’s Log”, and “New Girl” (Svetlana Chmakova): Three shorts about other characters from Awkward, Brave, and Crush. Very cute.

Read: Let’s Play #1-150 (Leeanne M. Krecic aka Mongie): Nominally a romance webcomic, and not not romance, but really more about the characters learning and growing as people (despite a lot of mistakes) than pairing up. The heart meter that sometimes gets shown for the female lead is definitely not correlated with any romance. Sadly all the romances so far are het, but I like all the characters anyway. Even the brash, excessively busty, excessively made-up fashion blogger who initially appears to be an antagonist is very awesome.

Words: 283, which I guess is okay for having gotten up at 7:00 and also being very dumb.
