G'night!

man I wasted three hours watching this Broncos game.  

Well that will certainly teach ya! No, wait a minute, no it won't. :P

Saw the Odd THomas movie and really liked it. A good incentive for me to keep an eye on the books too. Thanks,Peter!

I didn't even know there was a movie until I saw the DVD on the shelf while wandering through FutureShop this weekend.

I also got the first Dragon Quest game for android this past weekend.  This will be my first foray into the series.

This is a remake of the first game which was an NES cartridge originally. Even updated they've kept it pretty basic. I never played too much of the original game. The first game I finished was DQ IV on the DS. So I saw this as an opportunity to see the series in it's infancy.

I have a stack of Dean Koontz books but have only read one of them, The Good Guy, which was pretty good. But I have Odd Thomas and, like, three of its sequels. Just haven't gotten to them yet. I'm still on my comics kick, which has lasted a lot longer than I expected. I finished the second volume in Neil Gaiman's Sandman series last night. Really good! I think I might take a break from that though and read some Batman. I got the first volume of the New 52 series from the library 

After reading American Gods, I started looking at Gaiman's other offerings and found that Sandman is his most revered work. Unfortunately it's 10 bucks for each book even in digital format so I may not jump on that until I can find it for less.

I know what you mean. Thankfully, I've been able to get them from the library so far. Otherwise I would not be paying all that money to read this lol

Let me know how the Dragon Quest on Android goes im thinking of getting it but 17 bucks mmmmmm not to sure about...

The first DQ on Android is only $3.20 in Canada. The other two, IV and VIII are $15 and $20.

I heard they took out all the voice acting in VIII too. 

I posted Dragon Quest VIII for my Android/ iOS pic and mentioned you that you may know if 19.99 is worth the new version but since I havent played it I have no clue but I do want it.

For a buck more, I went to see Billy Bragg in concert.

I like Dean Koontz. My boyfriend in college really liked his books and that's how I happened to start reading them. I think the first one I read was Twilight Eyes.

A buck to see Billy Bragg? Sounds like a deal to me. How was the concert.

I definitely want to read more by Koontz. I'll be finished Odd Thomas this week but I have all kinds of books on my reader that I should read first.

It was $25 to see Billy Bragg, so a dollar  more than you spent this past weekend. And the show was freaking awesome! He opened with this: 

Aah, misread the post. $25 is still good. I remember liked what I heard way back when. Glad to see he's still active.

Odd Thomas is also on Netflix. The movie isn't that bad.

Dean Koontz, there's a name I haven't heard in a long time. 

Judging by how much you spent, and the content you got in return, you sir must have had one heck of a weekend. What app do you use to read your comics? 

Lumiread seems to work best for the HD PDFs I'm downloading.

Kobo doesn't show the pages full screen so I stopped using that. 

Cool, I'm going to check that out. I use another app on Android, but I want to test a couple of them to see which one I like using.
