Booked for the Weekend

Last Saturday, the gang braved the rainy darkness to trek over to Power Plant in Rockwell. Our destination was Fully Booked, and we wanted books. LOTS of them. Well, I in particular wanted the next two books in The Song of Ice and Fire saga by George R.R. Martin. Of course, the rest of the gang had their own books to buy- Dean, Gig and Vin got tons of their own reading material, from anthologies to mysteries and kiddie books for little Sage. And Charles... well, he just seemed to feed off our buying our books with his discount card.
Afterwards, we headed off to Dencio's. The others had a steaming Sisig dinner (that's seared and diced pig ears and cheeks) while I hunkered down with Coke and a leche flan on account of my upset stomach. Luckily, I was able to take the rumbling for the night. Later, at Country Waffles I was even able to finally eat a late, late dinner (or an early breakfast) with a toasted clubhouse sandwich.
As the light rain fell, we talked about comics, books, writing and friends. It was cool and windy and it felt great to relax and recharge.

Sunday had me at home, reading away Clash of Kings (the sequel to A Game of Thrones), watching some new anime (Cosmopolitan Prayers), playing some Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike on the PS2, and inking a couple more pages for Part 2 of Kunoichi Boy.

Looking forward to next weekend.
