Read the first issue of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ Criminal over the weekend and was, for lack of better term, floored. Really, why can’t comics — or at least this one — be weekly instead of monthly? Methinks 30 days is too long to wait for Criminal issue #2.

And so my three-day weekend has come to an end. I like to believe it was productive — the thing I had to accomplish on Friday was accomplished, although it rankled me that my bank, unlike any other bank, couldn’t give me my certificate on the same day and had asked me to claim it by next week. And I paid P200 for that?! A pizza lunch with my mother and movies (Papillon, Hellboy) in the quiet afternoon helped calm my nerves.

Saturday was spent in Megamall attending the Manila Hobbies & Collectibles Convention 2019, my first toy event for the year. Scored two loose Marvel Legends figures (Sabretooth and the comics-version Vulture) for P1,900 — not bad. Delighted with the experience, I trooped to Yoshinoya afterward for my favorite beef bowl, and to Filbar’s for my comics fix.

Sunday was for rest and family, and reviewing the past two days, and mentally preparing myself for another predictably hectic workweek.

Listened to the Juliet, Naked OST, which is essentially an Ethan Hawke album.
