There's not a lot going on lately. My running continues. I haven't found the perfect twenty-minute route yet, but I'm continuing to look. The last couple of outings, I've ran around the nearby park.
On a completely unrelated note, I finally got around to finishing Cerebus: The Last Day. The beginning was dry -- just scripture reinterpreted (again). Then it got good. Even though it was mostly "old man" jokes, it seemed that Dave Sim had regained his sense of humour. Then it went to shit in the last twenty pages or so. Then it got better for the last two pages. Still, it was probably the single worst -- and stupidest -- ending to a comic book I'd ever read.
But still, what could I expect after three hundred issues? How does one sum all that happened up into one last storyline and bring a close to the character's life?
Now that I've read the whole Cerebus storyline, I'll take some time away from it before going back to the very beginning and doing some rereading.
