February is usually one of my favorite months, as I am one for winter. However, this past one was COLD. Too many days with temps in the negative = no walks on lunch breaks, no pup-walks, wearing ALL of the layers, and ugly sobbing every time I went outside. It was (almost?) 30 degrees today, and everyone was outside. Brian came over to help me out with a much-needed dog walk, and Louie and Joesph were ecstatic aka they peed on everything.  Including a snowman.

But it wasn't all bad. There are a lot of birthdays in February, so there was a lot of celebrating. We went to Hip in Detroit's third Anniversary party at Small's to see my good friend Zander Michigan play, and we had a great time. I have been hanging out with Jen a lot this month, and it is great to have another girlfriend around. We've been having a blast getting brunch, booze, and coffee this past month, and I anticipate more shenanigans as spring and summer hit.

It has also been the month of comics! I finally caved and started a comic-pull at Comics & More. It was hard picking which shop to go with, but Kyle pushed for Comics & More because he has giant boner for one of the guys who works there, Chris, even though Kyle does not read any comics, whatsoever.

Also, also, mix-tape CDs! My friends and I have been making mixes for each other, and it has been a blast. I love listening to what my friends like, because I always end up hearing something new, or being really excited to discover they like a song that I like. My friend Anne just gave me one and the very first song was Nina Simone. Swoon!

Now I am sipping sleepy time tea (crack, basically) and in dire need of my bed because old lady. Goodnight, everyone :)

Shutter, Image Comics- Kate Kristopher is a famous explorer and photographer on an Earth much more awesome than this one. Ten years after she quit that life, she soon discovers that she has siblings, and lots of them. One in particular is after her maybe-not-dead father, and Kate isn't overly fond about any of this. Shutter is my absolute favorite out of the comics that I am reading. I love the fantasy aspect to the story, I love how the characters are developing in each new issue, and the artwork, the artwork is just beautiful. Oh, and Alarm Clock Cat! I want an Alarm Clock Cat tattoo, add it to the never-ending list of tattoos that I want.
