I don't read too many webcomics, but I've been following the development of one for a while now. The first chapter just came out! It's called The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal and the entire first chapter was just uploaded. It's by bigbigtruck here on DA.

I love the subtle storytelling, the interesting linework, and the character designs. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this is going.

Also I know all you guys are still following The Meek, right?


I hope everyone's winter is going well!

Well, the summer is officially over. The equinox is past, the days are getting shorter, and autumn is officially here.

We moved to a house with a yard, and this time of year means planting trees! We've put four into the ground so far - two oaks and two maples. I think that one of the oaks won't survive the transplant, but the rest seem to be doing quite nicely in their new homes. My radishes and carrots are starting to sprout, along with some spinach and heartsease flowers.

I'm looking forward to the season! Lots of cider, lots of apples, fall leaves, migrating birds, and cooler days... Sounds wonderful to me.

Okay. Usually, online comics are not my thing. But there is one online comic that I have become hooked on! It's called "The Meek" - [link] - and is by here on DA.

This comic is amazing! If you aren't already reading it, you probably should be.

Here is a link right to the cover of the first chapter: [link]

I get so excited whenever the next page is posted!


In other news... My cat climbed up onto my chest of drawers yesterday, stole my glasses, dragged them under the bed, and gnawed on them while I was taking a nap. So now the part that goes behind my ears is all jagged and they hurt to wear!

Ahhh the joys of pet ownership...

I'm new at this whole "wearing glasses" thing, so I'm hoping this can somehow be repaired... Wish me luck!

I got this book The Blade Itself for my birthday this year. [link]

Have any of you guys read this? If not, you really have to if you like fantasy books at all. It's without a doubt one of the most entertaining books I've read in years. The characters are all immensely entertaining and unique, the dialogue is outstanding and very "sparky," and the pacing is quick. I am loving the unexpected character development, the dark sense of humor, the excellent fight scenes... There's even a barbarian who isn't a rip off of Conan or Fafhrd!

Great stuff! I can't wait for the second one!

You can read an extract of the book over here - [link] I bet you'll be hooked if you read it!

So for those of you lucky enough to live near a Wawa, I have good news! They brought back the chocolate caramel coffee!

This is the best coffee that they have all year! I stopped at all the Wawa stores in the area buying up their supplies of this coffee this time last year. I am so happy that they brought it back! My boyfriend bought me a bag and I'm trying to make it last!

For those of you who don't have a Wawa around you, they're sort of like a 7-11 from a superior parallel universe. [link]


My boyfriend also bought us Animal Crossing for the Wii! We have had all the Animal Crossing games that have been released in the states so far and really enjoyed them. This is the best one, but it's very similar to the DS game.

If you want to visit our town, send me a note and we can trade codes!
