Acme First Look #141 for 7.21.10

Just a little forewarning, we're going to be doing some site maintanence this weekend, which means from sometime today through Sunday, the message board will probably be read-only and this very blog might disappear for a while. Have no fear! We're in the most capable hands possible and it's all under control!

Can't spend your Saturday posting about all your favorite books this week? Come by the store! All of our t-shirts will be $5. Any size! Any style!

Stephen's So-Called Emo Life!

  • Hark! A Vagrant - for a while Carly would last hysterically at the computer and turn around regardless of what I was doing and do a panel-by-panel recap of the comic she'd just read. I never understood it. Then she bought a copy of Kate Beaton's book down at HeroesCon, which I finally read this week. Now I'm a late adopter.
  • MLB 2K10 - got an Xbox last weekend from Ian and this was the first game I picked up. I'm still in spring training, but I've been amazing with the commentary and gameplay.
  • Feeney's Frozen Yogurt - in the shopping on New Garden with Harris Teeter, Carraba's and Phoenix Asian Bistro. De-licious frozen yogurt in tons of gourmet flavors, tons of fresh fruit and lots and lots of sprinkles, cereal and sauces! The best part: you don't pay by the topping, you pay by the weight! .43 cents an ounce!
  • Inception - Joe Scott has me really hyped for it!
  • Bad Boy's II - best action movie ever!
