Ch-ch-ch-changes


 The more things change, the more they stay the same... sometimes.

 Since it's been so long, here are a few of my new ("new" to me, anyway) favorites in no particular order.

TV - New Girl. Probably the only show that currently makes me laugh out loud. The group of guys remind me so much of my friends and I when we were young and stupid. FYI - we're all still friends, just old and not-quite-so-stupid. I have an unexplainable love for the Prince episode. 


 

 

Books - Watership Down. My all-time favorite book. I re-read it every year.

 


Lord of the Rings/Silmarillion
. My other all-time favorite. I re-read them every two or three years. Still affects me in ways I can't quite explain.

 

Best of Richard Matheson.  Not a bad story to be found. I can't recommend it highly enough!


 

The Plague Dogs. Makes you think of dogs in a whole new way. Even better than I remembered.

Music - The Gaslight Anthem, Puddle's Pity Party, Postmodern Jukebox, Prince 

 

Comics - Not reading nearly as many new ones as I used to.

I really liked the first four or five TPBs of World's Finest by Waid/Mora.

I get the Brubaker/Phillips books as they come out. 

 

Just finished Friday by Brubaker, Martin, Vicente. I'm probably not really the target audience but I enjoyed it.

 

Thought the Hulk/Thor: Banner of War from a couple years ago was a lot of fun. 

 

Make that 8 1/2 years...
