I know you have all been on the edge of your seats since I announced my dilemma<\/a> re: whether or not I should just give in and buy a brilliant Lea Hernandez<\/a> Prickle bunny<\/a>. Basically, I “solved” this one by dropping copious hints to a certain someone and also by having a big birthday (rhymes with “schmirty”) that required that someone to buy me presents. Thus, Husband Jeff heroically ordered me the last Prickle of the first wave, Happy Birthday to meeeee! I can’t wait to see what she looks like cozying up to Icebat and Gloomy Bear.<\/p>\n

OK, so now a New Dilemma, suggestions most welcome. Husband Jeff and I just moved and it was all very painful and annoying and many of our happy fun activities just kind of fell off the map for a while. One of those activities is regular comic book buying, and now I’m way behind. Do I take this opportunity as a clean slate: ie, forget about the issues I’ve missed, re-evaluate my pull list and start anew with just a few titles? Or maybe use this time to convert to trade paperbacks, which has been discussed a few times in my household? Or attempt the arduous task of catching up on everything, which feels a bit like a chore at this point? I just don’t know! I feel bad that I’m so behind on Civil War, especially after Matt’s stirring post. On the other hand, there is something liberating about heading into the comic shop with fresh eyes, almost like a new customer, and deciding which titles I actually want to commit to. My nice friends gifted me with Hi De Ho<\/a> currency for my schmirtieth birthday, so at least I have some seed money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
