Two hands for Burger!

Burger commercials are starting to annoy me. I can't believe how many show people eating a burger with both hands-even some small enough to eat with a pinkie and thumb. The reason I think this annoys me is because I actually really like burgers (and anything sandwich-like). Most big chains however have the worst burgers. Burger stands are almost uniformly better than franchises. Of course there are exceptions however I would stand by the statement.
Somehow I ended up writing a quick poem about the ads.

Burger Ad
Pointless ad,
You of illusions and images with faults.
We may partake,
due to convenience's sake.
Don't take credit.
You have no idea, how long I considered walking away from it.

Mage

The only problem with great comic books and manga is that you can miss the end. Because they are not published as widely as books it seems easy to miss your place and eventually not read the end.
Recently I started looking at an old series I had. I can't believe it but it seems I will not find the last issue of a great comic book. I have wondered how a certain comic book (Mage 2/ Mage: a Hero Defined) ended for years.Worst is I had this belief about the book before when I missed the last of the first series. I never got to read all of the first series Mage: a Hero Discovered but years later found the second series so found out what happened and found the story better than ever. Lately (well today)I visited a fan site for the comic which listed what happened in each book and it seems like it really ended just like that with --Kirby-insert ending here those who have read it-and Kevin's bat-- so I wasn't the only one left hanging. Then I realized they had not added all the books and unluckily for me happened to end on the same book I already have.
I guess that is a life lesson-make sure you keep up on reading every great comic you find or else it will haunt you for years.
