I got the "Girls in the store" look from the guy at the bookstore when I went to pick up a parcel today. The full name of this look is "There are GIRLS in the STORE and they aren't looking at ANIME? What do I do?" He seemed very mystified because the label on my parcel said it contained a comic book. :p

In other words, my Vertigo Winter's Edge came in. The Death story was really neat. It was looking at why she became the little ray of sunshine we all so dearly love. I also read some of the other stories and am becoming curious about the rest of the Vertigo line. Sandman is some sort of gateway drug, isn't it? :p

I felt pretty foolish when I was talking to Langler today. Turns out on a mechanism I didn't know where to start, the key intermediate was an imminium ion. AKA an intermediate of the Ugi reaction. My summer project was the bloody Ugi reaction! I read so many papers talking about imminium ions!

Currently killing time until I have to go sell tickets. :p

Yay for comics. Boo for answers you should have known.

I really am somewhat tempted to look into Ghost World myself (which is what I keep looking for somewhat in Hobbyton), because in the "Do you read North American comics too?" thread at ANN, it's been mentioned a lot, along with Sandman and Maus, both of which I enjoy.
