thebitterguyUrge to Kill... abating
Thanks to the jolly hordes who offered solace on Supercan's violation last night. I appreciate it. Props to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kinra for attempted to Decode my wrathful ramblings. I will offer individual gratitude when I'm logged in.
Feh. It's annoying, as much as anything. It's also unfortunate that the entire D&D group was the victim of crime last night. Mathe-magician Paul got his bike ripped off (possibly karmic justice for suddenly thinking that "No druid would cast Summon Nature's Ally!", which put me withing 22 milliseconds of Slayer mode), andmadmanofprague was the victim of a voodoo curse of some kind. He can now only wear white clothes, and earth tones.
So, yeah, annoying as all get out. Game went well, where we learned the vital lesson of Don't Split Up the Party. Again, and again, and again.
Well, it's truer to say the lesson was taught to us, we just didn't do well on retention.
Calls were made to the police and insurance; it turns out it will be less than my deductible to get the window replaced, so hopefully it won't affect insurance rates. There are messages on my celly with quotes, so I should really check those. Driving down the Gardiner with no passenger side window in the middle of winter, btw, is an experience I suggest EVERYONE avoid. I had to wear my hat and gloves because of the cold. You shouldn't be able to see your breath driving a new car.
What's really depressing is the fuckers didn't even show any interest in any of my CDs. Just my lunchbag. What? It's a crappy lunchbag! Maybe they needed some yogurt. Wait. Did they take the Gayest umbrella ever? I hope not. Okay, I maybe just a little hope they did. Because, seriously, wow. Not a good umbrella.
I did stop off atpapajoemambo's venue for some graphic goodness. Parts 10 & 11 of The Other were picked up (the Spiderman mega mini) as well as the new issue of ASS and #4 of Infinite Crisis.
Man, I gotta stop reading snark blogs, because Superboy kicking a dog was so much less than I was expecting. Who IS this Connor Kent guy? Is he the Superboy clone from the Reign of the Superguys?
Utterly grateful for Chemo's appearance at the beginning. Gg Oop, indeed. We need more Chemo. There should be a Chemo miniseries. Where he's a Gotham city police detective who takes the law into his own hands.
Chief O'Boring: Dammit, Chemo, you can't go taking the law into your own hands like that!
Chemo: Hiss, gurgle, hiss.
Chief: That's it, Chemo, you're on suspension!
Yeah, that would be great. And Chemo would put his hat on when he left the office, but it would dissolve, because he's Chemo.
Enjoying SR4. System Failure may be too aptly named. And the guys who wrote Shadows of Asia have Eurabia setup in their spellcheckers, if you know what I mean.

Date: 2006-01-20 06:01 pm (UTC)"Infinite Crisis" I'm on the fence about. Airdropping Chemo onto Bludhaven was brilliant, and the tie-in Nightwing issue was primo. But I don't like the incorporation of "Crisis on Infinite Earths" into the storyline; I think it's badly done.
On the other hand, DC is killing off a lot of lame/annoying characters (DIE, AIR WAVE, DIE!) and this is in their tradition of streamlining/rebooting continuity every five to eight years.

The Superboy bit seemed a bit too Authority, yeah.

Sorry to hear about the car window. Hopefully the replacement won't be too expensive/onerous.

It'll be a couple bills to replace the window, so that's annoying but thankfully won't break us. Thanks!

Date: 2006-01-21 05:57 am (UTC)If the situation ever presented itself that I was to cosplay...
I would go as Chemo...
...With a lil bitty Superman action figure circling my silver-capped head like a biplane attacking Kong.

Date: 2006-01-21 07:23 pm (UTC)Yes, exactly... Converted action figures stretched with a lighter, then re-painted in metallic blue, red, gold, silver, dark silver, gun-metal and platinum paint.
