look around, look around, how lucky we are to be alive right now

I made it to Dom's easily enough yesterday, though I did pack and repack a couple of times and then I had to schlep all my stuff up the stairs and down the stairs when the Port Jeff train came in on the other track at Huntington. Sigh.

But I'm here and I spent most of today in the pool, which is basically how I plan to spend most of the week. I am a huge fan of being in the water, and the pool is the best water to be in - not trying to knock you down like the ocean and not too cold like a lake, though let's not kid ourselves, the water was not bathtub warm today despite a string of 90° days recently. But it was so nice. The mingled scents of chlorine and Coppertone is one of my favorite smells - I would smell like that always if it were feasible.

So far my only problem with staying here is that everything I own is now covered in dog hair, even the things I haven't yet unpacked. Tuck is mighty that way. He sheds a lot (he's a pitbull/shepherd mix; very sweet tempered, mostly [he tends not to like men] but oy with the shedding), all over.

Meanwhile, there are exciting things happening in San Diego:

Most importantly, the Wonder Woman trailer. GIVE IT TO ME. PLEASE DON'T SUCK. (Please tattoo this gif set on the inside of my eyelids #ladies with swords #always be wonder woman)

Also, the Justice League trailer looks promising. AQUAMAN. BRUCE AND DIANA LIKE THE DANNY AND RUSTY OF THE DCEU. DEAR DC: PLEASE GIVE ME THIS ONE THING. PLEASE. #otp: i'm a rich kid with issues I'm also enjoying their characterization of Batman, though we all know that Lego Batman is the best, truest movie Batman characterization.

And while the Flash in the JL trailer is okay, Grant Gustin will always be Barry Allen to me now. Season 3 looks pretty amazing. CISCO!!!!!! CURSE YOUR DOPENESS VIBE!!!!

Hopefully there will be an ALL SINGING, ALL DANCING FLASH EXTRAVAGANZA. I am just saying.

And though I haven't seen a trailer or footage, I am definitely enjoying looking at Melissa Benoist and Tyler Hoechlin, though I'm a little sad he's shaved the beard. I really want soft-bro Clark and beardy Superman. #actual superfamily (also will this be the first time ever I tag something #cousins unironically? I guess we'll see!)

And in the universe next door, LUKE CAGE Y'ALL. POWERMAN. (This sounds amazingly cool: The song for the trailer, like what appears to be most aspects of Luke Cage, was carefully chosen. According to Variety, the show's executive producer Cheo Hodari Coker claims that music was pivotal in the creation of Luke Cage. Every episode is named after a song from '80s hip hip duo Gang Starr, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad of the iconic '90s trio A Tribe Called Quest will help compose the show's score. Coker even claimed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that the show has a "90s hip-hop vibe." At this year's Comic Con, he added, "It's what I call the Wu Tang-ification of the Marvel universe".)

And also, the cast of BLACK PANTHER. HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. PLEASE PUT YOUR MOVIE IN MY EYEBALLS SOON. (Also please tell me that Florence Kasumba will also appear in it.)

And now it's the time when I switch from coffee to wine. And I have to go heat up some chicken cutlet parm for dinner, so I'll leave you with visions of superheroes dancing in my head.
