Lightly dusted with cephalexin

st_aurafinaAnd I'm not even supposed to be here today.
I'm at the start of two six-day weeks, which sucks, sucks, sucks, but I have to do it so that I can have a holiday later. But I'm not happy right now, because it's furiously busy and I just tipped a bottle of antibiotics over myself. I shook it, forgetting that I had previously loosened the lid, and pink cephalexin went everywhere - all over me, the bench, the floor. It's in my hair, and in my clothes and yuck. Fortunately I hadn't added any water, so I could just brush the powder off, but I can still smell this sticky, lolly smell, and also I know everyone who saw it laughed to themselves, though everyone was very solicitous and helped me sweep it up. I can't blame them for laughing, honestly, it was damn lolarious.
Ugh. And I didn't get my lunch until 4pm, which makes me cranky. *snarls*
I have a zillion things in my to-read folder, so naturally I'm browsing webcomics. *headdesk* I don't know where my concentration has gone - I blame the antibiotic pixie stix I'm breathing in.
"Queen of Diamonds" is an amazing and fun super-hero story. The main character is Q, and he defends the city of Manchester with fabulous style. It's clever and witty and unlike mainstream titles, doesn't take itself too seriously. The art, which is black and white, is glorious and sumptuous - lots of flowing fabric and arched corridors. Q is brilliant, funny, engaging, and it's always great to see a queer character get a romance storyline. There are nine complete stories. It's my favourite new discovery.
Naomi who draws![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
potterpuffs also draws an original fantasy manga, "Æther". I don't really get manga - I don't think I've completely assimilated all the tropes and rules that are encompassed by the style. But after flicking through lilacsigil's copies of "Death Note," and reading coffeandink's excellent description of page lay out, I gave Æther a go, and I'm really enjoying it. And it's damn pretty, too. It tells the story of Pandora, a foundling with mysterious powers who wants to train as a Summoner - a kind of elemental magician. The story isn't finished - it's two pages into chapter eight, but it seems to update regularly.
And today, frommundungus42, I found that Joss Whedon has a webcomic up at the Dark Horse myspace page: "Sugarshock". There's only one issue up at the moment, but it has that Joss hook that catches your eye.
