Comics and Scrabbles

I had to go down to Denver Thursday afternoon for an appointment with Brittney, so I decided to give Cris a call and see what she was doing.  All she was really up for was hanging out at her place, but after an hour and a half of harrowing criticism, I was fine with that.  Lindsay came over and we went out for asian with Cris' roommate, Melissa.  Afterward, we played Scrabble and listened to the Voltaire CD I brought Cris for a late birthday present.  Then everybody who had normal 9-5 jobs and had to get up in the morning went to their respective beds, leaving me to curl up on the couch with a book for a couple more hours before finally drifting off to sleep myself at about 2:00am.  Working at a movie theatre really messes with your schedule.

I also hit the comic shop while I was there but as I'd feared, since I hadn't been there for a few months, they'd cancelled my hold slot.  Not that I can blame them too much.  My reserves consist of only about seven different subscriptions, while most others are more like two or three dozen.  Still, I can't drive 75 miles to Denver every month just for a few 'zines.  Now my only other option is Mile High Comics, but while they've got much larger stores of back issues, the price goes up monthly.  Maybe I can find a relatively cheap online store...

Must get back to work now.  I wasn't supposed to close tonight, but since the other manager didn't show up, it's either that or close early.  Tempting, but I like being paid.
