Mi vida está loca

I (believe) I have now read all of BMB.  Then again, another hidden stash may spring up... a fan can only hope.

Anyways, you may or may not wonder what I've been up to besides reading awesome webcomics.  Well, I've been noticing the definite lack of spring around here.  One day it's chilly and cloudy, the next it's blazing sun with oppressive temperatures.  The weather-maker apparently thought it fit to skip a traditional spring with gentle spring weather and instead sporadically switch between summer and winter.  I suspect global warming is behind these shenanigans.

Weather aside, I often feel as if I am metaphorically drowning.  School is coming to a close at an alarming speed.  I feel like I still have so much to do before the year ends.  Next year is going to have a beastly work load and multiple summer assignments.  Free time and sanity (not to mention sleep) look pretty much shot.  And then while I'm worrying about next year, I still have projects and ever-nearing finals happening this year.  Oy.  Time is speeding by much too quickly for my taste.

On a lighter note, I've got a smashing book.  After hearing from numerous reliable sources of its excellence, I decided to give Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game a read.  It's fantastic!  I haven't finished it yet, but I so far I recommend it.  Perhaps I'll try and get my brother to read it...

So: keeping it together until summer is my main focus right now.  Too bad there will be no more new stories with Cy and Skids and the gang to cheer me on... but who says I can't revist old haunts? ^_~

Shibby!

Hey there, blog.

The other day was pretty bittersweet, the reason being I finished my favorite webcomic to date: Boy Meets Boy by K. Sandra Fuhr.  I came across it while surfing for results concerning the David Levithan novel of the same name (the book and the comic aren't related, though).  I started reading it and found myself smiling more and more. 

The comic centers around a gay couple, Mik and Harley, and their quirky friends (their evil incarnate landlady, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer obsessed boy band, Mik's slightly psycho ex, Harley's peppy sister, etc.)  Various situations arise, and a good times are ensued.  All the characters are so wonderful!  I want to give them all hugs.

If you're interested, the first strip is here.  I recommend you check it out.

All in all, I had a blast reading it.  Blogs are for sharing, no? ^_^ 

EDIT: Once again, I have found a hidden stash of BMB comics I have not yet read!  This happened to me once before, too... Hail, webcomic gods!  I'a go read them now... ciao!
