To Blog. In The Rain.
(Despair, death & emo ensues)
You know, there are many things I'm still attempting to Zenfully accept as a way of life, as something I cannot change no matter how much I might try or wish otherwise. I was able to keep my sanity as I saw Halloween costume displays up & running a week before school started. Even now I've been able to keep a sense of understanding about why our store already has 2 bunks of winterwear. (But on the plus side, at least this year one of those two bunks has new things this time! New items! What a wacky notion!)
Alas...my Zen was profoundly, uh, unZenned this weekend. I happened into the Bay store within our mall, and noted how they were changing the set-up in the seasonal section. Gone were the patio tables and BBQs. In their place were open boxes displaying...Christmas trees.
Why, God? Why?!
There's a curious proverb that goes something along the lines of: "Even the Buddha loses patience at some point." Well there's my point right there, and it's decorated in tinsel and candycanes, and is wearing an angel for a hat. I'm starting to think now's a good time to retaliate and dive right back into the Christmas novel "The Stupidest Angel," where the titular angel resurrects Santa Claus and inadvertently unleashes a zombie plague.
But to at least give some semblance of balance, here's a great moment in DC comics where someone's inner otaku is showing.

Now all we need to do is make absolutely sure the martian Manhunter doesn't end up getting inspired by Nabeshin. (Who else has suddenly pictured the big, green hero sporting an afro? Yeah, that's my bad...)
