The streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see

Had a lovely time over the weekend in NYC. I was graciously put up by Blunaris and trixiesfic (and their adorable guinea pig, Maggie) and met a number of people at the MR birthday fest, where I confessed to the general public that I am, in fact, moving from Boston to New York City at the end of next month. Sadly, neither Midtown Comics nor Forbidden Planet had the new Martian Manhunter action figure, and lo, the bitterness has entered like iron into my soul. Also, I'm depressed about poor Emma Frost, who has gone from a bustier to pasties for her series. Riding crop poised between her legs, legend "Higher education"...it's just a tad much.

I reread half of The Secret History on the way home, but it disappeared when I was getting off the bus. That's okay. That book's second half is a spectacular train wreck, anyway. (Confidential to Livia: I couldn't finish Debt to Pleasure. Since I'd figured out the secret within twenty-five pages and I despised the narrator, I couldn't see what I had to live for with it.)
