Hot Fuzz, Dumb Magazines

thebitterguySo, yeah, it's stupidly cold outside today, with wind chills of negative oh my God.
Anyway, yesterday I'd planned to go into the Wellness Centre and didn't because I am lazy. So this morning, I got up early and headed in for a morning workout. I forgot my iPod, which was kinda annoying as I got the Hot Fuzz soundtrack last night.
Movies on Demand, BTW, is a drug. Because I started watching it at 10:30 and was up until late. God, that's an awesome movie.
Anyway, I had left my workout gear in the car overnight, and as the stupid cold arrived overnight, when I got my stuff to go into the Wellness centre this morning, I discovered something interesting: my water bottle had (unsurprisingly) frozen solid overnight. I also discovered that body wash also freezes at sub-zero temperatures. Useful info, kids!
I did some stretching and took a shower afterwards, but I'm still fairly stiff this morning in my shoulders. I really wish I'd been able to take![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ketronic up on her offer of a massage session yesterday.
NCBD was fairly blah yesterday. I bought the new Captain America (I think the story will work much better in trade) and issue #2 of Damage Control. I'm not sure what's up with that book, really. There was some neat stuff with the team facing down the Thunderbolts (and, yes, they are damn scary to normal folks), but I can't see where the story is going. It just seems like stuff is happening, like people using strangely racist names to refer to Black Goliath. Black Buck? Oh, yeah.
I also picked up the store's issue of Geek Monthly. I would now like my money back.
Bad signs: there's a typo in the opening editorial. Not even one that a spell checking would miss (Mindfield?). At least they have a couple good articles (the interviews with Weidland and Dyson were readable).
Man, I liked it a lot better the first time I read it, when it was called Realms Magazine. Feh. If this peezasheet can get WotC to buy four ads in the first ten pages, and we had to settle with the Hairy Tarantula and 3rd Quadrant, I think something went terribly wrong.
And it's by the same guys who produce that abominiable Girls of Gaming magazine.
Oh, and the website listes Mark Millar as Mark Miller. Or perhaps they've saved us all aggravation by amalgamating Mar Millar and Frank Miller into one horrid "hates gamers and women" Frankensteinian union.
Feh. Gimme my $6 back.
