Hush
So this weekend was huge fun. Schumacher won the championship, with more than a little help from Barrichello. Valentino Rossi defended his championship by winning his seventh race in Sepang. Beautiful races, both. I met Bushbush after a long time, had a few drinks, chilled with the rest of the gang. Then went out and bought a few books, games and comics. Anandamath, Sun Tzu’s Art of War, and E=mc2, were all bought as supplements, but I couldn’t afford the one I really wanted to buy. Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything. It was available only in hardback, and would have set me back by around 850 INR. Ouch! I guess I’ll wait for the paperback.
I finally got my hands on Daredevil:Yellow. Nice noir-ish book, and the water color look was amazing. Tim Sale’s minimalistic anatomy in some frames, with the extra dash of colors, did however, work against it a little. Still, pretty good. Jeph Loeb is darn good storyteller. Another winner by Jeph Loeb that I got was Batman:Hush. And I was dissappointed when I realized it was Hush #3. I have Hush#1, but I missed #2! 
I bought another DC novella, Green Lantern:Dragon Lord. I just can’t stay away from ‘the beginning of’ type books. The usual repertoire of Ultimate Spiderman and Batman Adventures were accompanied by Avengers, and Fantastic Four #1. Fun fun fun.
I also bought American McGee’s Alice, to replace my existing, mangled, scratched version. Why, after 3 years, and finishing the game twice? Well, simply because the game is Level Design 101. You don’t have it, you are sad. End of story. Also got Midnight Club II. I’m not much of a racing game fan, except for the occasional Colin McRae Rally 3.0, F1 2002, NFS:HP2, Moto GP2, and now MCII. Heh. actually, even with all these titles, racing is the genre I neglect the most after Flight Sims. But I bought this for the sheer unadulterated arcade racing fun, not seen in a long time. Also, it is very well done. Shiny!
Except that couldn’t meet Andy, and forgot to get a haircut(again!), it was a hugely fun weekend. Did I say that already? Well, piss.
