Touch me. Touch me like you didn't touch me last night.

duosiceprincess  called to tell me about this sign and I demanded that she take a photo.

From Friday night through Sunday evening, duosiceprincess (AKA: The ComiCutie(tm)) and I rummaged through 21 years of comix, most of which were mine, but several hundred of which have been given to me by the likes of Michael Hart whenever he or others find them at garage sales.

I've done a little purging before, but never like this. Sara mainly sat on the couch and read The Historian.

Movies Watched: Mr.Vampire, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Strange Days, and Enter the Dragon
Meals Eaten: Lai Lai Chinese (restaurant), El Toro Mexican (restaurant), Garcia's pizza (restaurant), cereal (home), pasta (home), Mirabelle pastries (home).
Total Glasses Bushmill's drunk: ~3
Total Raspberry Smirnoff Ices drunk: 12
Gross Longboxes Purged from My Collection: ~5 1/2
Total Longboxes "Gotten Rid of" (probably to be given to charity): ~4
Total Longboxes duosiceprincess took as payment: ~1 1/2

Ummm...I'm sure there are other stats, like how much sleep and how many times we went "Damn, is it really that late?!" but that's all I can think of just this second.

Bonus points for spotting / identifying / mocking comics seen in the pictures. There's some interesting stuff if you look closely. Go here if you want to be able to click the pics for bigger versions.

And now...

( Photographic Evidence. Lots of it. Seriously. )
Now all of my comics are sorted and alphabetized. Next step? Bagging and boarding all the ones that still need it. (Many comics I knew I would be keeping are already bagged and boarded in the longboxes by the fireplace. They will be transfered to shortboxes.).

ULTIMATE CONCLUSION: Sometimes...life is full of awesome.

jimmahgee and I have a secret.

I am not yet at liberty to discuss it.

That is not because it involves our penii penises. Which it doesn't.

You should go check him out. Not like that. Check his LJ, and his website.
Okay, if you want to "check him out," then go for it.
But, you know...be subtle.

I need to finish a Shonen Jump article this weekend. That will make number five. I can totally call myself a "freelance writer" now.
Oh, and by next week, Norwegian Karl and I should have some samples from our comic Last Shot for you to gaze upon in awe and wonderment.

Now...to prepare to go eat eat random Chinese food. But probably not tripe. I've had enough tripe for a while.

Whose weekend is devoted to sorting 29 years of comix and drinking far too much with duosiceprincess
