HAPPY FRIDAY LJ. I just read Batgirl #1 (like, literally just read it, 10 minutes ago on R's iPad), but I don't know what to say about it. Some things I loved, some things I did not love, and the whole thing felt weird and familiar-yet-totally-different and I don't know how to feel about it. So I will have to give it some thought ( Read more... )

Smorgasbord:

- Brought to you by my lunch today: last year zabira gave me the recipe for this cherry tomato and asparagus salad, and I linked it at the time but I'm linking it again, because it is DELICIOUS, and one of my summer staples. And it is tomato season! Though SO not asparagus season, but we can't have everything ( Read more... )

We finally went to see Captain America last night, which I thoroughly enjoyed; not with the same kind of flaily capslocky love I felt for Thor, but enough to make me really, REALLY excited for The Avengers. I LOVE the way they've been putting these pieces together, letting each movie be its own thing while keeping a strong enough thread between ( Read more... )

You guys, thank you so much for taking the time to help cheer me up yesterday. You were INDESCRIBABLY AWESOME at it, and it felt kind of like shuffling along in the dark and then looking up and seeing a sky full of stars. And I really, REALLY needed that. So thank you. Seriously. *smishes you all* I am also unlocking this post, because there is so ( Read more... )

NEW HEADSTONES SONG TODAAAAAAAAAAY. Okay, so I cannot get to Facebook from work, so if this happens there, will someone please hook a girl up? *beseeching eyes* Thank you! (No lie: I woke up at 5:30 this morning, thought "New Headstones song today!" and could not go back to sleep. *facepalm*) (Also: PRODUCER CHRIS OSTI. AWWWWWWWW. <3 ( Read more... )

Posting because I can! YES. Oh! And because there is actually stuff on the Headstones' website now! Not much NEW stuff, just some adorable pictures, as well as (old) music and videos, but I guess Hugh mentioned on Facebook that they're working on some new stuff, so OMG OMGOMGGGGG. Plus it is just kind of amazing that there is actually a HEADSTONES ( Read more... )

I don't have anything to say about the DCU reboot that hasn't been said already, but I'm saying it anyway, because I have FEELINGS and they must have a WENT, as Jo March would say.

I AM HOME, and while I had a ton of fun on my travels, by the beginning of this week I was forgetting where I was or what day it was, and I had put my underwear on inside-out twice in the course of a few days, so I am very very glad to be sleeping in my own bed again. A few bullet points about my trips:

UM. One of my teammates has a Joker action figure at his desk, and I was looking at it today, and I noticed that IT COMES WITH A CROWBAR. A CROWBAR. THAT IS SO FUCKED UP. (For those of you who aren't into comics, the Joker's most notorious use of a crowbar--AFAIK--was when he killed Jason Todd, the second Robin. So this action figure comes with a ( Read more... )

Hey, my MCR concert report is only HILARIOUSLY long so far, not quite INSANELY long. I'm growing as a person ( Read more... )
