sadly, the bizarro world anthology has not made it to chapel hill this week, but i consoled myself w/ berlin #11 (i've of course forgotten the entire plot since the last issue came out--time to go dig them out!), runaways vol 2 (still a cute series), and the latest masterwork to come from pantheon, gemma bovary (michiko kakutani reviews it in the ny times here). it's really a great take on the madame bovary story, with soft wash-style drawings interspersed with paragraphs of text . . . anyway, i recommend it highly, plus i have no idea what kind of paper they used, but it smells REALLY good. like the way a book SHOULD smell.
lots of reading and movie-watching is on the agenda for the weekend--and making mix cds! one for my dad, and one for jenny w., who i always think of as the coolest girl in school. fun projects!!
ps, and on an entirely unrelated note: i am all sad that ossie davis died. that guy was awesome and totally made me cry when i saw bubba ho-tep. seriously, i loved him in that movie (and in the many other things he's done that i've seen).
