I had a couple of comic books (I believe one was with Wonder Woman AND She-Hulk), but honestly, that was about it. And who would have thought it? When I was little, I loved my Wonder Woman Underoos and wearing my momma's jewelry like the Bracelets of Submission, but my knowledge of the Wonder Woman universe has always been pretty limited. McKinney and Robyn Smith, is the first book I've picked up during these powerless days that made me forget my feet are freezing. Nubia: Real One, a new YA graphic novel by L.L. Trying to find the focus to read is next to impossible, and it's only the most engrossing of books that can compete with the noise and make me forget how cold I am.
There is no privacy, no quiet, no space to turn around even. (It's not working.) All the cacophony of our normally loud house is centered in one room.
We've been without power for a week now, and the five members of my family, plus our myriad dogs, have spent this time huddled around the fireplace, trying to stay warm and not get on each other's last nerve. I am wearing sweats, a heavy coat, a stocking cap and trying to type while wearing gloves, all while listening to my son's umpteenth dissertation on the Indoraptor's ultimate superiority and trying to keep my girls from arguing about their Calico Critters.
