And just like that the first month of January is over.  In another month or so Winter will give way to Spring.  At the moment I'm sitting on delivering my 30 day notice to my apartment manager and doing my best to suppress reservations I have about living with roommates.  I'm moving into a nice place with a good friend and his wife & son.  I'll also be living closer to work so my bike commute won't be as dreadful anymore.  But what concerns me most is compromising my privacy and becoming enmeshed with somebody else's pattern of life.  Families have a habit of encroaching into every inch of space, altering the rhythm or harmony of a place.  It's just the nature of the multi-headed beast.

I read a lot of comics in January, and this weekend I put in more time in creating comics than I have in a long time.  This past month I was reading: Dark Angel, Daisy Kutter, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Cross Game, Pluto, Finder, Batwoman: Elegy, Hellblazer: Pandemonium, All New X-Men, Ghost, Comeback, Avengers Vs. X-men, Marvel 1985, From Eroica with Love, Cyber 7, Attack on Titan, One Punch Man,  Welcome Mats by starexorcist, Solstoria by charmwitch, Adventures in Angst by Sarah Graley, Help us, Great Warrior by Madeleine Flores, Ian Andersen's Spell Casting, Monster Pulse, Crumpet Fighter by Rebecca Head, Knights Errant by theyoungdoyler, The Big Trip by Nate Neal.
