Dehydrated.

I spent a good hour and a half on a regular-fare unairconditioned bus (Yes, they still exist) going northwards to Megamall from Makati. For some reason, the way was clogged and the bus moved at a snail's pace. It's been a long week, and I hovered between consciousness and light sleep all the way, losing salt and moisture with every moment. By the time I reached Mega, my throat was parched. Softdrink went down like liquid love down my rasping throat. I figure I'm still lacking water. Need to consume more into the night to replace what I lost.

Anyway, I arrived at Mega and found the new comic stocks lacking in interesting material for me. Nope. Nothing. Just the same I went home with copies of the Antarctic Press fantasy action manga comic, Dragon Arms, which attracted me with the solid art and action scenes. Heavy armor, BIG ASS swords, Mammoth power blasts and spells, scantily-clad super babes... this series has it and more. Too bad the storytelling's a bit off and many characters look alike. Still, the designs of the various fighters sold this to me if nothing more than reference material.
Also picked up the Domino mini-series, a spin-off title featuring the black and white female assassin/mercenary from the X-titles. Yet another comic that I got simply for the artwork. Really good anatomy, action and clean lines. The story's kinda interesting too... lots of stealth action and femme fatale acrobatics. I'm sold. Heh.

This week's dragging. Hot. Too hot. And humid.
