Not much comic-reading happened today. I just read the two issues that complete Vol. 1 of the New Avengers (2010) TPB, and that was it. Reading time was spent mostly with Denis Johnson’s Nobody Move, which I finished today. Something about finishing a book on the first day of a month makes me want to pat myself on the back. And if it lands on a Friday, like today, it makes for a double celebration. Sort of.
Speaking of Friday, today had been an extraordinary one. Work was light, the afternoon rush hour line of passengers at the Cubao terminal was long but moving fast, and I was home and already enjoying my weekend a little past 6 p.m. The wifey was there, as she was allowed to work remotely for the day, and together with the kiddo, whose grades improved during the third grading based on her report card, we had a cozy dinner at Coffee Project. It was a chilly night outside but inside it was warm. The smell of coffee soothed my nostrils, and I found myself feeling relaxed for the first time in seven days. Thought it was a good night to be with my family after the workweek I’ve been through.
Back home I watched two The Punisher episodes on Netflix and then went to bed thinking, What a way to start February.
Got started on Brian Michael Bendis’ run of New Avengers today. Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Iron Fist, Ms. Marvel, Wolverine — what’s not to like? I hope the story arc is as good as the cast. Bendis is kind of a hit-or-miss guy for me.
