I had a song stuck in my head the other day and then it was finally gone. I don't know why the brain holds on to songs.

I totally get this, sometimes we just don't want to listen to our brains and all that rational thinking. We just want to follow our heart which can be a good thing but not always.

Have you guys found any good sales for Black Friday? I saw a few things at my local book store. I might go back and get them, I'll see. I also saw a few other things that would be perfect for gifts. If I don't buy them today then I'll get them another time.

Lazy Sunday = Movie Day

I really have nothing to do today so that mean I'm getting ready to enjoy my Lazy Sunday by watching a couple of movies. I don't know if I want to watch something I've seen before especially since I have quite a few new movies I still haven't watched. Maybe I'll watch the LEGO Justice League: Gotham City Breakout (yeah, I know I haven't watched it yet) followed by Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End or Spider-Man 2. These are two sequels that I really love watching, who knows maybe I'll watch all three movies. I don't have anything else to do today.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a chance to relax and enjoy the day.

Happy Lazy Sunday!

Review:

I made a huge mistake of starting to read this while I was waiting for my friend to show up at the café. It was so funny I really didn't want to stop reading it once she showed up but as to not be rude, I put it away. But as soon as I got home I immediately had to finish reading it.

Heart and Brain is a funny (and surprisingly rather inspirational and philosophical) comic that follows the impulsive and free-spirited Heart and the analytical and worrisome Brain of Lars The Awkward Yeti as they go from one situation to the next.

Brain is always trying to do the right thing (well at least talking about it) but he also spends quite a bit of time contemplating about life while Heart is too busy living in the moment and having a fun time. Brain is always worrying about the finances but with Heart around constantly buying stuff it doesn't look like they will ever get out of debt. Brain also pesters Lars and Heart with his worrying including keeping Lars up at night instead of letting him sleep.

This is an adorable and funny comic that was a joy to read. The interaction between Heart and Brain was great because you get to see how these complete opposites work together as well as be friends.

I love reading comics but I don't read a lot of webcomics which is why I'm glad that so many of them are eventually turned into books. It will give more readers a chance find and read them.
