5. Popeye's chicken is the shiznit !!?!?! - This week, after years of not having it,I tasted some popeyes chicken. And it was DAMN tasty !! The chicken, the mash potatoes and the biscuits...all good.

4. The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite - Thanks to the library, I was able to read all six issues of this series (first mentioned in a previous Top 5). A fun read in which,unlike many comics these days, even the smallest panel held something important in the story. A good read.

3. Watching Game 1 Of The 2010 National League Division Series - In which the Giants won 1-0 vs. The Braves and Timmy stuck out 14 batters!!

2. Counting and rolling coins that we have been saving for most of the year, with Ashley and Melanie.

1. After spending a long day at the DMV, coming home to a quiet night of tv with Mel.

What's been cool about your week ?

Tom's Top 5 Awesome Things This Week...9-20-10

For The Week Of 9-20-10

5. "The Umbrella Academy" - back when I worked at Borders, I saw this comic in the racks. And passed it up. I admit, I thought, How good could a comic written by a emo artist possibly be ? But, over the years, I kept hearing about how good this series was. This week I saw the first issue was reprinted and selling for only one dollar. I decided to give it a try. Written by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way, "The Umbrella Academy" is the story (as far as I can tell) of 7 heroes, born under mysterious circumstances, who save the world. The story in the first issue jumped around a little too much, but it did peak my interest in reading more.

4. Reading old school Transformers comics- Not too long ago, Mel and I went to Half Price Books where I bought a few old TF comics for .25 cents each. I read my fair share of the them when I was a kid and thought it would be a nice trip down memory lane. This week, while cleaning, I found a few more issues that I had. It was fun to read and I had a great time reading before bed.

3. Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief - I liked the movie so much, I read the book. And it was fun, funny and had a ton of action. Waaay different from the movie, it was a blast to read. I'm looking forward to reading more.

2. Spending a quiet night at home watching the giants game and reading comics with my Melly.

1. Having a great Sunday morning sleeping in and going to breakfast (IHOP) with Melanie before I started a long work day - It was great to spend the morning with my favorite person in the world !! I wish all mornings could be as great as this one.

So...that's it.
What's been awesome about your week ?
