Here are my favorite reads for the week:
I felt The Sandman
It was one of those reading experiences in which I started slowing down and stalling towards the end. I didn’t want to finish the run because I knew that that would be that. No more.
I think the series’s storytelling is of the type that feels like you’re reading a tale you’ve always known but it feels like something refreshingly new at the same time.
His interpretation of the worlds of some classic myths and classic gods (Loki, Bast, Lucifer, etc.) feel well established yet I know that I have never encountered them before. Old, new, and timeless—all at the same time.
There are way too many themes, interesting characters, and fantastic plot lines to cover here. Just give it a try.

Look what my awesome Chicago artist boyfriend gave me for Valentine’s Day!
Here’s a photo of Thunder dog. You can see in the painting just how much more gray he has around the muzzle now. The poor guy is getting really curmudgeony for all his cuteness. He’s grumbling more and finds puppies annoying. I’m sure he’d tell the punks to get off his lawn if he knew the cliche.
Thunder has an arch-enemy in our building. The boyfriend did a holiday art commission of that dog and commented how much they are really built alike. We people have always known that, but somehow the two dogs believe they are worlds apart.
