Friends, politics is really getting me down. :( I watched so much of the RNC and it was so demoralizing and it's hard to drag myself out of the doldrums over it especially since I live in GOP-land. I need some good political news that isn't politicians yelling about how much their opponents are the literal devil.

I read Original Sin, one of the Marvel summer events. It was all right; I liked the fact it was a murder mystery more than I did the superhero bits. Also, it was very weird seeing Nick Fury drawn as a white guy. Next I will probably read the run of The Winter Soldier by Ales Kot.

I'm still plucking away on kimi ni todoke and I read The Star-Touched Queen which was super lush language-wise and reminded me tons of a fairytale; it's central mystery is great, too. I highly recommend it, with the caveat for folks here tired of het romance that it's het romance, but there's tons of other stuff going on re: the main character's arc.

I'm also rereading Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur for FHH, which is super cute.

What I really want to do is go to see Ghostbusters nine more times. I keep remembering it fondly and being happy about it. I was tempted by Star Trek but I kinda want to wait for more people to see it and tell me if it's 2009-Star Trek bad or Into Darkness bad, because if it's the latter I'm gonna miss it.

(also also I wrote another 500 words on Susan birthday gift from last year that I didn't hate so many I will be able to give it to her THIS year.)

*politics hugs* I'm still in denial that we've another 3 years of a Liberal (conservative) government here. The ramifications of that haven't yet made it into my bubble and I'm going to keep it that way for a little bit. I'm sorry the RNC is so awful and demoralising, I hope things improve.

I also want to see Ghostbusters 9 more times!
