Geeking OUT
Okay, so it's like a billion o'clock in the morning, and what am I doing? Watching Sailor Stars. This is actually a really depressing run. I mean...everyone dies throughout this season. How fucked up is that? And then Uranus and Neptune are evil, but then they're not, but then oh yeah...they die too. Lame. Sure, everyone comes back at the end, but still...lame.
I've been really into X-Factor lately. Jamie Madrox is absolutely adorable. I'm really liking the whole cast. I've never really gotten too involved in the lives of the more obscure X-men, but I'm totally into this. After M-Day, I think X-Factor shows the clearest affects of the Decimation. I mean, the X-men are off on Breakworld dealing with some random ass prophecy about Colossus destroying a planet. The Avengers are all in a tizzy, split into two different teams 'cause of the Registration Act. The Young Avengers has basically been cancelled. [ I'm really disappointed in them for selling out to the man, by the way. Shame on you Young Avengers. SHAME! ]But in X-Factor we have the recurrence of the mysterious Layla Miller, and characters with layers and angst to boot. And it's not all cheesy relationship stuff. I mean, the love triangle with M and Siryn is actually pretty funny and refreshing. So far, I didn't get why M was asked to join the group at all. She doesn't really seem to mesh. But ever since I read the issue with them all at the psychiatrist, I've been feeling her out a bit. I suppose she's...tolerable. And she kicked ass is France, so yay her.
It makes me sad that Rahne's all super Christian, but I suppose I'll overlook it for the time being. If I could do it for Nightcrawler, I could give her a shot.
PS: I wish Pietro would die and leave poor, sexy, confused Rictor alone. Stupid Pietro ruined so many mutants lives, and for what? He manipulated his sister when she was crazy and vulnerable. I like Ultimate Pietro much better. M-Day makes my soul bleed. But on the other hand, humans would have totally become 'extinct' in a few more generations, the way the mutant population was growing. That might have made their whole 'struggle for survival' kind of moot.
In other news, my Ultimate Jean Grey costume for AX is nearly complete. I just need a reasonably priced red wig, and for my gloves to arrive in the mail. I'd also like a pair of black contacts, so I can be DARK PHOENIX for some days, but we'll see. I also kind of want a black leather mini skirt. I feel like it would be cheaper than pants, and also make the costume look edgier. We'll see. Last year, they sold contacts at the expo, so maybe I could just find some there. I've already registered, and the hotel room is squared away for Friday and Saturday night. I sure hope Gamestop is prepared to let me take those four days off.
Looks like writing was a good idea, 'cause I'm finally starting to get sleepy. I shall lay down now. Goodbye LiveJournal!
