Back at work

Things are okay so far. A good bit of the outstanding things were taken care of in my absence, so there's not much to be worried about.

That's not the important bit, though.

In approximately 1 hour and 34 minutes, I will be heading to Lexington and 46th. Why there? Because that's where Midtown Comics is. And WHY, pray tell, am I going there?

BECAUSE BUFFY SEASON 8 COMES OUT TODAY!

(and I want to go to the gym after work, so comics at lunch, natch.) So very, very exciting.

In other news of fangirl squee:

1. New Bones tonight! New Supernatural, Ugly Betty, and Grey's tomorrow!

2. I just recently discovered The Dresden Files, and I'm adoring it. Firstly, Paul Blackthorne, who plays wizard-for-hire protagonist Harry Dresden, is like Jeffrey Dean Morgan's smartass younger brother. Secondly, the premise is great (he's sort of like a private investigator for hire who also works with the cops, what is basically the Ministry of Magic, and has an AD in the Yellow pages). He has a ghost for an assistant, who lives in a skull. It's smart, funny, easy to pick up from the middle, and available online. Otherwise, it's on the Sci-fi channel at a time that won't conflict with Battlestar or really anything else worth watching (there's nothing good on Sundays at 9 anyway). I have the first 6 eps on my ipod, and I saw #7 on Sunday, which spurred this obsession. Not sure how long the season is (may only be 12 eps, hopefully more), but check it out. (Which reminds me. Must catch up on Eureka before the new season.)

It's going to be nearly 70 today. Hooray spring!

Oh, yes, I've been watching (I'm a few eps behind, but I was right there for the pilot. And got a signed copy of the first book at comic con, and saw Paul Blackthorne to boot. At a distance ::sigh:: He's very TALL. And did I mention, tall.)

Haven't had time to finish the book -- reading too many other things at once -- but I am liking both book and TV series (which apparently I'm not supposed to do, since the tv show is quite different).
