Aka Saturday 6th April 2019
No Long Walk today, today is a day of rest…and again a quiet
day, mainly due to money worries and the need to not slack off on applying for
jobs…and to that end I started,
completed and submitted application for an admin post at the Royal College Of
Paediatrics And Child Health…
…and while I was doing that, the postman delivered some New
Comic Book Day comics:
…and I read:
‘Giant Days’ #49, in which Esther is trying to write her
dissertation, but is having very hard time doing so. And going back home and hanging
out with old friends (hello Lottie and Eustace/The Boy) isn’t helping. John
Allison, writer (pencils on a few pages), Max Sarin, art, Whitney Cogar,
colours, and Jim Campbell, letters, do a great job in capturing that desperation,
panic and despair of trying to write a dissertation (or any kind of
paper/report) when nothing you write feels right and everything you can think
to write about just seems stupid, until you get to that point when things start
to click and it all comes into focus. It’s
also fun to catch up with what Lottie and The Boy have been up to. 9/10. And I
spotted Des!:
‘Fight Club 3’ #3 is a solid issue (by Chuck Palahniuk,
story, Cameron Stewart, art, Dave McCaig, colours, and Nate Piekos, letters),
but a quietish issue, which I found a little bit confusing, I thought the
family were living in a house, but now they seem to be living in the motel that
Balthazar/Jack/The Narrator was staying in in the last issue, but we do see a
bit more of the painting world, the extent of Die Off’s plan/the “epidemic” and
that Tyler may not be in as much control of
the situation as he thought. 7/10.
…and I did the G2 Crossword:
…which ends the week on a pretty good note as I only have to
cheat on a twelfth of the clues (two out
of 23)for Saturday’s crossword, but I did (re)learn that ‘teal’ is a ‘bluish
shade of green’ and that ‘mohair’ is a ‘fabric made with angora wool’…the
little grey cells are performing so well that I almost feel ready to take on a
cryptic crossword!
