"I've been banging my head against the wall..."

I have been spending waaaay too much time alone lately. Fortunately, Lindsay and I have a lunch date tomorrow. No, not *that* sort of date.

I have almost completed my second ever Superman/Batman story. This one is for the Secret Santa fic exchange on worlds_finest and much lighter than my previous story. So far, it includes Superman driving the Batmobile, Batman in drag, rocket boosters, and possums. Like I said, I've been spending too much time alone. It's finished, except for the smut scene. I've never written something like that before, so I definitely need someone to beta it for me.

While getting my comics today, I took another step down the road to Absolute Geekdom by asking Mike to order an action figure for me. They are coming out with a series of figures from the JLA relaunch, including Roy. Unfortunately, the solicitation is referring to him as "Red Arrow". No, bad Meltzer! Don't make him in to Ollie Jr. ! That would be like making Nightwing in to Batman Jr. Totally goes against characterization. Anyway, the figure is very good-looking, despite being based on Michael Turner artwork. He has an awfully big...bow.

My other recent activities include walking, wrapping presents, and watching The Lost Room on the Sci-Fi Channel.

Now, I will leave with this screen cap from tomorrow's Smallville episode. I don't watch the show; I just like to mock it. See my snarky dialogue below the picture.




Clark: Ha! Take that, Lex! The Justice League just blew up your building!
Impulse: Hey, Clark. Since me an' Cyborg are on the team, wouldn't it make more sense for us to be the Teen Titans?
Clark: Shut up, Bart! Now, everybody form a "V" behind me. This has to look cool.
Ollie: Hey, how 'come you get to be in front?
Clark: 'Cause I'm the kid who can shoot lasers out of his eyes!
Cyborg: Oh, Ollie? Arsenal called. He wants his Titans-era costume back. And he says you better not have painted it green.
Aquaman: Hmm. This fitted muscle tee and these drain-pipe jeans are even gayer than my old costume. Score!

writing, geekiness, snark, life
