Girl Genius

Spent a little while catching up with reading Girl Genius off of it's website today. Girl Genius is a wonderfully cool comic done by Phil and Kaja Foglio ( if those names don't ring a bell at all, you just lost a hell of a lot of 'geek points' ). It is up on the web with two story arcs, Girl Genius 101 is the original 13 (12?) issues of the comic book that they are putting up on the web now, three times a week, one page at a time. Girl Genius Advanced Class is the continuing story from where issue 13 left off. If you are new to the story, definately start with '101' and be patient. There is a pretty big gap in story still between where they are at with the web release of '101' and where 'Advanced Class' starts. You can jump right to 'Advanced Class' but their will be some spoilers about '101' pages that haven't gotten posted yet along the way. Very fun read though, love the whole fantasy steam-punk mad science romance setting.

On a different note, ran around with Kinetica in CoH for a while last night. Was fun, helped Puck beat up some Malta's and then helped Justice Stryke and Eagle Fist get a respec TF started, and almost helped them start a different one when the level of the Freakshow one was a little too painful but I think they snagged another teammate (who was too low to come on the Freak respec) to come along and get it started, hope it went well for them. Chatted some with people meanwhile, dropped a hello over to Avocet, and caught up some with NorthStar 1. Nice quiet little bit of play time. Amazing how much more fun it can be when I don't have to listen to people get verbally abused while trying to help them get something going.

Which ended when I realized I was hungry, it was dark out, and I still needed to get groceries to make dinner and I still wanted to devour some form of sea life. Things to remember... Get groceries earlier in the day, if it is dark out don't wear all black to walk to the grocery store in, and if it is late cold and raining to just get a frickin' pizza delivered next time.
