Now, I'm woe-fully out of touch with the real world, so I didn't even know that there was a Blue and Gold episode of Batman: the Brave and the Bold coming up until it was already out and the squee post was up on boostle. But as soon as I found out about it I had to watch. And OMG.

( I know I can't change the timestream. How dumb do you think I am? )

Things I did today rather than doing any of my actual work:

1. Took three hours to go shopping for snacks to take to my poetry class tomorrow (chocolate covered pretzels and popped potato chips, because cookies were too boring) and a belated birthday card for my grandfather. All in I think I spent a grand total of six dollars. So, you know, totally ( Read more... )

1. John Cho has the cutest baby in the known universe. Seriously, that sound? Is my ovaries exploding from cute. And now I want to read a million stories where Sulu and Chekov, like, coo over Demora and wear her in a sling on the bridge and teach her physics songs and eeeeeee baby.

2. OMG OMG OMG JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL. With the very real ( Read more... )

Fact: hanjuuluver  is my favorite mad genius ever.

We met up today for early birthday-related fun times, and it was awesome! Even the part where hanjuuluver  has the worst sense of driving direction in the known universe, so on our way to the movie theater we got off the wrong exit on the freeway four times in a row and had to keep driving in circles trying to get back ( Read more... )

Re: this week's Batman: The Brave and the Bold (Menace of the Conqueror):

• BOOSTER GOLD, BE MORE ADORABLE. OH WAIT YOU CAN'T.
• I have a hard time getting into this show when my characters aren't in it. Not because it isn't good, but because Batman's VA has a really flat delivery that drives me up the wall. Booster's VA, on the other hand, is quite ( Read more... )

See, the thing is - Ted always had a predilection for practical jokes, but that didn’t mean they were good jokes, or that they didn’t backfire on him as often as not. Booster’s seen the list he used to keep taped to the underside of his bottom desk drawer, of pranks that ended in him getting his eyebrows burned off, or writing a long, apologetic ( Read more... )

Ted tastes like cheesesteak with lots of peppers.

They’re at lunch, jammed into a booth with sticky-taped fake-leather seats and kicking each other under the table, and right before Booster kisses him he swallows a huge mouthful of his sandwich. There’s a smear of grease on his chin, and something is caught in his teeth, and his breath smells ( Read more... )

A few more thoughts on Booster Gold (yes, I'm still reading it. I took a hiatus to finish the Riddlemaster books, plus classes):

I've already ranted to several people at length about this, but it really bugs me how mean the other heroes are to Booster. Like, every time Superman and Batman and the rest of the League show up, they're all "oh, that ( Read more... )
