– Watched the complete Firefly<\/i>, followed it up with Serenity<\/i>, the comic book and followed that<\/i> up with Serenity<\/i>, the movie.<\/p>\n

-All of that instilled in a newfound zeal for watching TV series, so I watched half of Berserk<\/i> and two seasons of Spaced.<\/i> Started watching The Adventures of Brisco County Jr<\/i> now.<\/p>\n

– Five copies of this<\/a> are available at MR Book stall, right opposite my office, at 250 Rs each. I have no idea how and why the book is there in the first place. Filed under “Rude-shock-of-the-month”. ( Rude because I have no money to spend. )<\/p>\n

– I did have Walden gift coupons to spend though, thanks to a Special Hard-working Person who agreed to let me use 1000 Rs worth. I bought Ramesh Menon’s Devi Bhagavatam<\/i> ( swear the guy’s writing Indin mythology books faster than I am reading them ) ( and good ones at that ) and Mihir Bose’s History of Bollywood<\/i>. Reading the latter right now, periodically wincing at the lack of editorial supervision that pervades the writing. Subhash Ghia? Anupam Kher was an up-and-coming star of the nineties? Sheesh. At least the facts seem to be in order so far.<\/p>\n

– More lustworthy releases include the two disc edition of 300<\/i>. 699 Rs and way beyond my budget at the moment. <\/p>\n

– Also drooled a bit over the new Koji Suzuki collection that seems to be available at Walden. I already have, and have read Ring<\/i>, Spiral<\/i> and Dark Water<\/i>. Loop<\/i> was there, too, but I’m holding out for the hardcover, so didn’t buy it.<\/p>\n

– There was also the Mammoth Book of War Comics<\/a>, which had, among other things, two stories by Darko Macan and Edwin Biukovic, Will Eisner’s Last Day in Vietnam<\/i>, a Commando issuem, an early version of Keiji Nakazawa’s Barefoot Gen<\/i> and some Sam Glanzman Blazing Combat stories. 704 Rs, pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
