Newbury Comics I actually don't mind. We don't have any good indie record stores around us, so Newbury Comics was the only place near me where I could find artists like Gogol Bordello, Pedro the Lion, The Notwist, The Magnetic Fields, and the smaller guys like that.

The guys who work at the one near me are more the fanboy types and not the snooty types. You can sit down with them and talk about when the latest volume of The Walking Dead is coming out and whether or not it's worth waiting for, blah blah blah.

Sure, you have all of the teenie-bopper-wannabe-punk clothing all over the place and the silly tchotchkies, but amongst that, you also get some neat toys, stickers, and the whatnot from artists like Tarah McPherson (who is a favorite of mine).

The comic book section IS pretty small, though, so I can see why that's pretty irritating.

I just use it for its music and DVD collection, which it has a decent selection of.

Ah. I grew up on the North Shore. Lots of snotty rich fake hipsters at that one. They are a good place to buy CDs, but I've always hated how they call themselves a comic shop while they're actually like a Hot Topic or a Spencers with most of the merchandise.

Right now?
Obama. I don't have any negative feelings towards the guy, I just don't give a fuck enough...Personally I think most of his voters voted, just to prove a point about themselves anyways...but yeah, I've had enough Obama saturation.
Guys even in a Spider-man comic, fuuuuuuck off:rolleyes:

...and these 2012 fuckers...Yknow what?
The ancient Mayans just didn't think anyone'd be left around by then to prove 'em wrong, they sure died out quick enough to save some pretty big face. :p
Seriously, what kind of people honestly go in for this shit?
How many groups have claimed the same, always "because some ass/ess in the past said it would be...date rolls around, they look disappointed, I look a little like I'm laughing at them, or maybe a lot.

Now, I'm not the kind've guy that's always the smartest in the room...but I don't even think scientists of many disciplines these days could cast more than a very vague estimate at catastrophic global event, I swear, sophisticated buildings and some semblance of early "written" language aside, to believe this kind of hokey shit thrown up on a wall sometime is just blatantly stupid...It's just like their Y2K...get over it.

It's actually not Obama that irritates me; it's his followers. It's the closest thing that I've seen to a pop cult in my life. On inauguration day everyone just walked out of work to crowd around televisions to watch him take the Oath. It was pretty sickening.

I'm with you here. Why people seem so eager to believe that someone from the past can predict the end of the human race, I'll never know. The only real threats to the human race that I can see right now are the barring of scientific progress and the supernova of the sun. As long as we don't impede the former, the latter should be manageable within a few 1000 years.

Heh...haven't had something to have a go about in a while.

That's cool if you don't care about him but you can't be surprised when there's a lot of buzz about a new president of the United States- it's kind of a big deal. Especially when we're getting rid of one that's fucked things up and given us a bad name for eight years, and especially one who's made history like Obama has. I mean, it isn't like this is Paris Hilton or something.

Phalanx...sick of that fucking guy...

Barfing really gets on my nerves. :mad:

I caught a bug from work over the weekend and I had to leave 6 hrs early! I threw up in a Residents room! And in the tv room! And it came out of my nose too so it's like I couldn't breathe and it was just non-stop vomiting. When I got home I puked like all night long and had cold sweats, it was awful! Then my body ached so I stayed in bed for two days without eating, afraid I was going to keep throwing it up.. ahhhhh. I had to pick up a shift from work last night even though I still don't feel all that well, just to make up for the lost hrs.
