I bought a blind bag of comics at Forbidden Planet last week, and have been reading through them this week. When I was a kid I didn’t have enough cash to consistently buy comics, so I would randomly drop in the middle of arcs; since this bag is a mix, it felt oddly nostalgic to just get a middle slice of a story.

Finished reading: Crank by Ellen Hopkins 📚

Read this because it was fairly widely banned.

I saw Assscat with my friend Delmar last night. Very funny show. Wyatt Cenac was the monologist. He asked what Gabagool was.

Sebastian: “Capicola”
Wyatt: “Why don’t they say Capicola, then?”
Sebastian: “They switch ‘C’ for ‘G’.”
Shannon: “If they offer you gum, don’t take it.”

The room fell over. 🎭
