Hero of the week (and also, just in general): the Grameen Bank.
Heroes: is a fun if not especially cerebral show. My favorite character right now is Ando.
Halloween: Doesn't exist here, but I'm wearing the BAT-TITUDE t-shirt I got from Target two autumns ago and just finished recollaring (it was a little boy's shirt) last night, my Devil Ducky earrings, and my BPAL pumpkin perfume.
Spectacular Spider-Man comments: Wait, Hypno Hustler was a genuine threat? This Hypno Hustler? ... Yeah, I'm never taking the "ZOMG Spidey was so much better before you were born, pe0ns!" perspective seriously again. Because for every Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut there were three of these.
Random thought: Willow's singing voice is arguably the worst out of the Buffy cast in the English version of Once More, With Feeling, but is the nicest in the French rendition.
Therapy: Was actually helpful today! ... Hunh.
Zeugma: is a word you should all know.

books, holidays, politics: activism, comics
