It appears as if this semester isn't going to get any better. I'm just going into the thick of it now, and let me assure you, the "thick of it" may well be as bad as last term. (I barely had time to breathe.) That means I may be posting less, writing less, and commenting less - and if that's a problem for you, then by all means, do what you've gotta.

Right now, I've got a stack of school books waiting for me, a proposal to write, two journals to take care of,and notes to revise for (another) exam on Tuesday (I had one Thursday. It actually went very well, save what it did to my skin. Got a tension headache, had a mini freak-out, and a big break-out. Loads of fun). Tomorrow and Monday are reserved for work, and a project that will be presented Wednesday (which I haven't started yet.) I think I might have a group proposal due Wednesday also.... though I'm not 100% on that. :/

In summation: I'm pretty goddamned busy. So if I'm not around to comment, that's why.

This will all be over in December. ALL of it.

Lordy, I can't wait to graduate.

P.S. "The Umbrella Academy" #1 was really, really awesome. Go Gerard! (He's totally redeemed himself from that wonky Free Comic Book Day Preview.) When I tap out tonight, if I have the energy, I'll post some scans. I've also been reading "Voodoo Child" by Mike Carey, which is set in New Orleans post-Katrina, and is really wonderfully drawn. The storyline's a bit muddled, but what can you do - he's carrying three subplots.

P.P.S. I'm two books away from reaching 50 for the year for 50bookchallenge. I don't know what to start on next: it's either LKH, or Charlaine Harris, or Kelley Armstrong - since I have all three "in progress" to some extent. I did pick up "Dates from Hell" and that's looking mighty tempting, let me tell you. (I can always find downtime for fiction.)
