So I have quite a bit extra money today. I picked up my comics, the normal monthly \u00a3100 on stuff I like, and a couple of extra bits and pieces. As per my thoughts before on hardbacks and liking them for stuff I really like and being able to afford them, I picked up <i>Murder Mysteries<\/i> by Gaiman and the lovely new oversized <i>Alias<\/i> by Bendis. At \u00a322:50 for an oversized hardback containing nine issues and extras it was a great price. That was my treat for myself out of the extra money.<\/p>\n<p>So this evening three of the lads and myself headed into the Porterhouse for a few drinks (yay more coke&#8230;) and it was all fun. I hadn&#8217;t been out with a couple of them in a while and it was good to catch up. Afterwards I grabbed a quick pizza and went to catch my bus. I just missed one and there was a twenty minute wait till the next one. So thinking that I wanted some books I wandered into Waterstones to have a look for that something to grab me. I happened to pass a look at the graphic novel section and about two seconds after I noticed <i>Sandman: The Wake<\/i> by Gaiman (and my personal favourite of the Sandman series) in hardcover, it was in my hands on the way to the till. It was Sandman I originally decided to break over hardcover&#8217;s about and this seemed just so perfect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was of course pay-day and that nice increase I got a week ago was backdated by a month so it was paid in this pay packet.
