saturday morning babbling!

So, SGA! Um, I thought it kind of sucked, although there were a lot of really cute moments. Still better than Siege III, though! (Also, oh, Torri Higginson, honey. I love you already, but really: you don't have to try so incredibly hard!)

Comics -- I've just began Young Justice, and so far it's really not clicking with me at all. Wacky hijinks are all good and well, but I get bored super quickly if it feels like the characters aren't being taken seriously. That's sort of the reason I could never get into the Justice League cartoon when Livia was pimping it, even though it was an entertaining show -- I just need to feel like the characters are real, fully formed people, and I can't do that when the focus is so far elsewhere.

Is there anything better than AIM conversations where you mention a fic idea to your partner and it proceeds to eat the poor girl's brain right in front of you? I THINK NOT.

Two small portions of chat from last night:

ficbyzee: *dies* okay, I was telling thete1 that you'd been reading comics, and liked Roy--
ficbyzee: 'See, she should be into Bruce. He's so FRASERY'
pearl_o: ........
pearl_o: Oh, Te.
pearl_o: That's a comparison I would never have come up with a million gazillion years.
ficbyzee: I am giggling. a lot.
pearl_o: I think that is just a sign that Te's Fraser is several degrees more fucked up than mine!
pearl_o: and by "degrees" I mean "miles".

--

pearl_o: I am trying to pace myself with what I read, since there is so much I haven't gotten to in the comics, but. Uh. ROYS! ARROWS! *love = searching for fic*
pearl_o: ...Roy is not plural.
pearl_o: At least not in any comics I have read yet.
thete1: *dies*
thete1: I fully believe that, somewhere in the Golden Age, there exists an issue of *something* with Multiroy.
pearl_o: I am willing to believe just about anything exists in comics somewhere!

"that and the fact that when you work with a puppet, you know that the puppet costs more than you"

Things about today that are great!

1) MY SHOWER WORKS AGAIN. Frabjous day! Calloo, callay!

2) ZEE GOT US TICKETS TO SEE SLEATER-KINNEY IN PORTLAND NEXT MONTH. SQUEE.

3) Hahahaha, Superman/Batman for the win! It is both really gay and very entertaining -- cool.

4) Now I am watching the little mini-documentary on the Peacekeeper Wars dvd about the making of the miniseries. Oh, FARSCAPE. <3<3<3 (I had totally never seen the actor who plays D'Argo out of make-up before. WEIRD.)

5) Clean dishes! Garbage is out! Now I just need to do laundry and everything will be non-gross.

--comics, why do you keep trying to kill me?

Okay, so I just finished reading Superman/Batman 14-18, and -- MAN.

( spoilery quote )

Point me to the slash in this universe?

bruce/babs omg

Hahahahaha, I'm reading Gotham Knights now, and I just got to this this page, and. Oh, man, okay, that last panel? With the nose in the hair and the closed eyes and the "you're never alone" speech and everything, all together? My first thought is "...That's just not right." My second action is to share that opinion with both thete1 and ficbyzee -- which gets me one response along the lines of "omg, I KNOW!!!" and one along the lines of "...that's a SWEET panel! Shut up!!!"

Look, it's not my fault I have a dirty mind, okay?

Heeeee. OH COMICS. <3<3<3

(I know some of you are probably on board with fox1013 with totally judging me for my descent into comics madness, but, well. Fox is crazy about Big Brother, dude. She has no moral high ground! Go judge her instead! *runs away*)
