The marathon went off without a hitch, in my opinion. Having to be there at a very early time wasn't something that I was thrilled with, but got over it. I managed to complete the distance and go the entire two miles despite my 23-year condition and the fact that my left leg started hurting when I neared the halfway point. I believe that says something about myself regardless.

Ten days ago, I completed my layaway stint at Wal-Mart and got the DVDs that I had out-one being the fourth InuYasha movie, which was very awesome from start to finish; I still have to find time to watch the Japanese version. Other than looking-and not succeeding-in finding another job, I would say things are half full. (With two out of the four InuYasha movies in my possession, when time permits I'll be looking for the first two movies to complete my set. Today marks four months since my birthday passed, so eventually an opportunity will rise.)

With the changing of the seasons, my sinus headaches have returned full force. My mother just got over being sick and I wonder how long it will be before I end up bedridden. After my plans to go pick up today's new Robin issue and get some milk at Wal-Mart, I may take a break from job hunting for today and resume tomorrow morning.

Aside from a headache that I've just recently felt within the center of my head, the day went pretty well. I made it to work early, did what I needed to do, left early and made it just in time for Heroes to open. (Truthfully, I made it around 9:30 or so, but still quite early.)

Upon arrival, only one issue that I had been anticipating had arrived-Batgirl #67, as mentioned above. http://www.dccomics.com/media/covers/3977_400x600.jpg

True, I have been eager for the 4-part WarCrimes saga, yet I haven't come across the first part since two weeks ago. (sighs) Anyway, I bought the previously mentioned issue, as well as Supergirl #1-that had the other cover on it. http://www.dccomics.com/media/covers/3986_400x600.jpg

Back to Batgirl, however: This one was an excellent follow-up to last month's issue and showed the slow, but eventual, bond reformed between Barbara and Cassandra. (As evidenced on the next to last page.) It was intriguing to hear that Shiva wants Black Canary as an apprentice and had taught her moves. The artwork was stunning, as usual, and the helmet Batgirl uses when she drives her motorcycle looks astounding.

I now have $32.00 remaining as a result of buying those issues, plus a tape of an event from 2002. After a small trip to the 2nd Dimension tomorrow, I plan to save the remainder of my money-which should be around or less than $30.00. I also plan to do something regarding getting a second job. The quote for today comes from Batgirl #67.
