I totally suck at getting reviews done -- in my own defense, I have to get the order form due this week (a week early) because I'm out of town in mid-week, doing the Disneyland trip with Ben. ( I mean, look how late I'm getting this up this week!) Speaking of which: looking at a map, it appears that the SoCal fires are nowhere near Disneyland, but who can really tell from a map? Are we flying into a fire zone, or are there going to be problems with smoke or haze?

Also also: Can anyone tell me anything about taxis from the park? Our flight is 7:50 Thursday, so I want to be at the airport at 7pm. The airport is said to be "15 minutes" away, so if we walk out the front door of Disneyland at, say, 6:30 is it going to be trivial to catch a cab to the airport? What's traffic like around there? Should I plan for more travel time? Anyone know?

ASSHAT OF THE WEEK: it's not the latest book on the list, no, but Achaia earns my wrath this week for shipping TWO issues of THE KILLER this week. I really like the book, too, but there's no surer way to convince people not to buy it than ship both in a week. Not even Kirkman is THAT annoying, damn it.

If you didn't already see the link somewhere else, my latest TILTING AT WINDMILLS is up right here. This one seems to have started some fights!

As always: What looks good to YOU?
