Day 796

Aka Saturday 6^th 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!
