Saturdays ROCK!

Well Saturday is usually when I venture to the comic book store, since I don't finish work in enough time during the week to do a run.

So today I went and picked up a few, Dr. Fate #3, New X-Men #147, Transformers G1 V.2 #6, Transformers Armada #16, Transformers: The War Within #1, and Teen Titans #2.

I read through them all and right now am watching Justice League on Cartoon Network. When I'm done, I also have today's X-Men: Evolution on tape.

Saturdays rock, so much comic/comic related goodness, it's almost criminal for a geek like me!

Sorry, had to gloat. Tomorrow my wife is going out to see a show with her Grandmother and Aunt at the local dinner theatre, which means that I have the day to spend alone with my daughter. I think we're going to go to the mall, since they have a Carousel there that she enjoys. Then I might watch Justice League again with her, she loves watching the superheroes with me.

In fact, when we were about to go for the ultrasound, we asked her what she wanted to have, a brother or a sister? She said "I want a brother to play super-heroes with!" Of course, now that we know it's going to be a boy, she keeps talking about "the brother." She was instrumental in convincing my wife that we should get the more expensive baseball fan then just a boring white one, since "the brother" will like it better.

I know kids tend to get jealous when their siblings are born, but I think my daughter has a chance of at least understanding it. And I think it will help if I try to spend time with her while my wife is taking care of "the brother." Make that our special time together.

If "the brother" is half as good as my daughter is, I'll be one lucky father, that's for sure. Kids are great, they really let you see the world through different, more innocent eyes.

It's the little things you know?
