today today is a good day so far today ♪

So, we went to our FLCS today -- in its role as FLGS, since buying a newly arrived gamebook was the goal -- and I hit the 25¢ rack and scored a 4-issue run of Flash from the middle of Wally becoming a responsible human being. (i.e. Piper is working on him, but Linda is not yet on the scene.) There is Grodd! And Vixen! And Rex the Wonder Dog (I'm not kidding)! And Chunk! And Ralph Dibny!

I have yet to decide which delights me more: Ralph getting superspeed piggyback rides from Barry, or Piper getting them from Wally. Ralph so clearly enjoys them; he tends to yell "WOOOOO!" and extend his neck ahead. Piper has blousy polkdot shirts and always has to hang onto his hat. I think, ultimately, I'm just very amused that piggyback rides are a speedster thing. I mean, I don't know about Jay (his hat might pose problems) or the Quick clan, and Bart's been pretty scrawny compared to anyone he might carry for much of his existance, but even John Fox gave Piper piggyback rides. Maybe it's a redhaired friend thing? (Maybe I could score one!)

I also picked up an issue of the ST:TNG comic because it featured Ms. John Sheppard Sonya Gomez, who's growing on me more and more as I accumulate Starfleet Corps of Engineers books. She's got Ro Laren's hairdo and her skin is an alarming greyish colour, but I will rea dit anyway as it was only 25¢.

On the way home, there was a bake sale. :3 I bought cupcakes and cookies. :3

And window shopping at ThinkGeek.com today has me making grabby hands all through the What's New section. Some highlights:
I would be dangerously creative with this stuff.
Had this existed when I was a child, I might have missed hours of drawing She-Ra's costume on my friends in chalk, but I like it anyway!
Something for Brainiac 5 -- or from him? Hmm...
There was even a t-shirt that mentioned telnet! (But as it was a LotR thing, I'm not that interested.)

Time for tea and cupcakes~ :9
