"I may be old, but I can still pull it off."

The day went better than I'd expected it to go, honestly. The appointment I had set up at the college regarding my job hunting was almost a half-hour, and I was able to make it to where I wanted to go before 10:00. Upon my arrival, I was able to pick up one comic book. (I'd been tempted to get the Supergirl #5 issue that had a cover done by Michael Turner, but figured I could wait a few more days.) Afterward, I went to work, then home to complete my amount of chores.

With my teeth finally polished and my appointments over, at least for now, it is entirely up to me as to how clean they remain. I plan to see that they remain clean for some time.

I'm pleased that I won't have to leave at 7:00 AM for a while. Wasn't pleased with the new comic books yesterday, but I did buy the back issue of Nightwing #117 as I said that I would. The guy at the comic book store said that Detective Comics and the Outsiders are gonna be coming in next Wednesday, but not Infinite Crisis or Teen Titans. Curious, but something to think about as this week-and this month-winds down.

Now, off to see if I can get myself another free lunch before I meet up with my friends.

Currently hanging out with a friend of mine at the college, my day has gone somewhat decently. I got another haircut, but this one was free of charge-meaning I didn't have to pay, which was a good thing. The computer at home is currently having some problems, which isn't good. Hopefully this will be remedied soon, but I have my doubts.

Tomorrow, I get to go back to the clinic to get the left side of my teeth cleaned; afterward, I won't need to go in any longer. Despite the fact that I've enjoyed making these rounds, having to leave at 7:00 AM isn't something I enjoy these days. Within the next few days, I'll be picking up the latest Batman & Robin issues, as well as Supergirl and The Legion of Superheroes and The Amazing Spider-Man. I'm especially looking forward to this upcoming weekend.

Today is known as the first day of Spring; haven't seen much of the sun, since it's been blocked by a ton of clouds. Technically, the 21st should be the first day, but that's a discussion I'd rather not get into.

Aside from the fact that I went into work, went to my weekly evening class, and had a decent talk with a friend, my day was soured when I quickly got online for a short time earlier. After checking in at DCComics.com, I was shocked and appalled to see that the listing for Teen Titans #34 had been pushed from this Wednesday-soon to be tomorrow-all the way to April 5th! Normally, I wouldn't be that upset about something as trivial like this, but DC Comics has stated that all of their books would catch up to each other officially this month. So far, two stabs in the back concerning Supergirl and Teen Titans!

If I don't see two covers concerning Teen Titans #34 this upcoming Wednesday at the comic book store-both of them, since I may just decide to make a second trip-I will be beside myself with brimming anger. On the plus side, Nightwing #118 will still be released, and that is something to look forward to. The question is...which Nightwing will it be, and who will be behind that mask?

Tomorrow, within 8 hours, I will finally have my teeth cleaned. The nervousness still hasn't reared its ugly head, though I don't look forward to this moment in my life.

This will once again be a short entry, as there isn't much to say concerning how my day went.

The appointment was tolerable, even if I was kept waiting for nearly thirty minutes in the waiting room. Should've known something was up when I walked into the area and saw a number of people being treated, and all in one room. (Then again, this clinic is on campus, so I wasn't that surprised.)

Didn't even get my teeth cleaned, yet I was probed, and bled, and didn't get injected with novocaine, even after I requested it in the form of a question. To make matters more irritating, I have to go back in Thursday to get my teeth X-rayed, and cleaned! That's gonna cost an extra $15.00 right off the bat. My only piece of good fortune may happen tomorrow, though I consider that a long shot.

My sickness has all but gone away-the only thing I must contend with now is chest congestion, but that is hopefully on the mend as well-throughout the course of the week. As for my appointment, that went fairly well. I must fill out some forms when they arrive to my house sometime next week, along with an application that will help prove if I'm able to be helped by this department of rehabilitation-when it comes to finding myself another job. I chose to celebrate the only way I know how-not by buying food; I have that at home-by buying books/comic books.

I ended up getting a total of four back issues and one current issue. (One back issue I already had, but the cover looked good enough, so I got it.) Also bought a book at Borders for $6.00 thanks to a coupon that cut the price by 30%.

I spent most of the week on my back since I had to recover from my illness-which must be one of the reasons why I enjoyed yesterday so much: I actually got to walk around and did productive things. (I would've bought some lunch, but that would've risked me becoming entirely broke so I felt that I should hold off on buying myself lunch until next week.)

I don't feel like giving responses on my current purchases just yet, but will get around to doing so eventually. The quote comes from one of my purchased issues.
