Surely Batman never cries.

I love this cartoon, it reminds me of Batman The Animated Series. The one that brought about the creation of Harley Quinn. (Love her.) This week Batman isn't really teaming up with anyone cause he got toxic puke in his face and as a result is ill and has purple bumps (pimples?) all over him. Aquaman and the Atom shrink and go on an adventure in Batman's internals. I'd just like to interject that this show has increased my desire to one day own the Batmobile. It's also a voice activated submarine! How awesome is that?!??! I'll go back on topic and end with the following.
Aqua Man is muscle bound asshole......and I love him.

p.s. Next week Batman teams up with Green Lantern. HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smallville Thoughts

Lana Lang please go away. I heard that you had left the series which neutralized the fact that Lex was also leaving. Lex is awesome. You are a whiny self-centered annoying little twit. Stop ruining this season.

p.s. You're not Chun Li either. Much too skinny.

Millar + McNiven = Pure Awesomeness

I read too many comic books, waaayyyyy to many, I'm actually looking to weed a few out. Here's a brief list of my monthly books:
  • X-Factor
  • Green Lantern
  • Green Lantern Corps
  • Runaways
  • Avengers Initiative
  • New Avengers
  • Mighty Avengers
  • X-Men Legacy
  • Young X-Men
  • New Warriors
  • Deadpool
  • Teen Titans
  • JLA
  • Terror Titans
  • Ultimate X-Men
  • Astonishing X-Men
  • Fables
  • Jack of Fables
  • Titans
  • Uncanny X-Men
  • Star Wars Legacy
  • Supernatural (Whenever it's out.)
  • Dresden Files
  • Kick Ass
  • X-Men - Kingbreaker (Finally some acknowledgement of Polaris & Havok abandoned in space.)
  • Young Avengers
  • Spider-Woman
  • Dark Avengers
There's also several crossovers (for lack of a better word) that the wonderful guys at the comic store hold all related for me.

  • Final Crisis
  • War of Kings
  • Dark Reign
As you can see there is way too damn many books so I'm trying to cut them back to a more reasonable amount. I did away with New Exiles months ago, Umbrella Academy was just removed from the list this week but I'm still looking to remove a couple more. New Warriors I'm looking at you. Anywhoo my plans to remove more books was evilly foiled when I attended the last comic chat and Mark Millar the blame rests solely on your shoulders.

I kept hearing how great the Old Man Logan run was, even read the first issue and liked it but didn't want to add another comic to my pull. The owner of the store was reading the most recent issue and after seeing the expressions on his face I was sold. Picture a 5 yr old getting that pony that she's asking for, only this was a grown man who was just reading a comic. My normal steely resolve weakened I picked up that issue and the 2 issues before it. Read it first thing when I got home and OH MY FREAKING GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Spoilers Ahead*

Amazing comic!!!! I've been loving the the Green Lantern but Old Man blew it out of the water. The whole time I'm reading I'm trying to imagine what could be so horrible that it'd cause Wolverine to refuse to fight again. Damn Mark!! You totally topped all the horrible scenarios I had running though my head. Maybe I'm just being a girl but I teared up a little. Seriously. I still can't get the picture Wolverine holding the dead Jubilee and the horrorific corpses of the other X-Men out of my head. I can't think of a more horrible thing to do to a person, it's devastating. I know that it's going to one of the comic moments that stick in my mind forever. Kind of like when Colossus injected himself with the Legacy Virus when Illyana died. Amazing. Even more amazing is that they (Mark Millar & Steve McNiven) were able to top it.
Can you say Venom T-Rex? I knew you could.

I cannot wait til the next issue. Well done sir, well done.

I wish I could quit you....

Dammit Arthas, why did you have to come back into my life? I was doing fine without you, meeting other characters and actually venturing outdoors a couple days a week. I hardly even thought about you until I saw you standing in the store looking all bad ass and scary, you made me weak. I tried to resist you, really I did and was doing a pretty damn good job until it happened.

WotLK release day.

Walking past the table loaded up with books, regular and collectors editions (CE) to go to break, it began innocently enough. I picked up one of the few remaining CE and purused the back out of curiousity and was able to put it back down and walk away. That little skeleton dragon haunted me all through break and the morning of work. The pile of CE got smaller and smaller, my will got weaker and weaker. Finally I decided that I would go to lunch and if there was still a CE when I got back I would buy it. Lunch was uneventful, I think it was Burger King. As I walked back into the store a ray of light came down from above to illuminate the single CE remaining. Oh yes, little skeleton dragon you were meant to be mine. In all of my euphoria I managed to purchase the game with my corporate card. Oops. See what this game is already doing to me?? Sigh. It's a good thing I don't have much of a life anyways. lol

Started up on a new server, Dalaran, in order to play with my sisters boyfriend since everyone I knew that played has moved on. As of last night I'm 3 and half levels from getting my hufflelump mount. Yeah, I know they're not called that but everytime I see them all I can think about is Winnie the Pooh. After a matter of hours I was right back in my old habits. Originally I started a human warlock because I've never leveled one past 10. (I have a horrible case of altitis.) I say originally because I quickly moved on to a different character, my lovely draenai hunter. What can I say, I love them. Hunters not draenai, I'd much rather be a blood elf but all my friends play Alliance. Wusses.

close to you...............

I never thought a fire would make me so happy and sad at the same time. Back in march a store caught fire and i went to help out after making sure i wouldn't miss my nieces birthday. After all the drama we finally got there & on the first day at work I think I recognize someone that i used to chat with through emails. Turned out that he recognized me too. After chatting through out the day he hung out with the my friends & I after work. We have soo much in common, enough to prompt him to ask why he hadn;t married me yet. That led to an informal wedding in the hotel room with our song being "close to you" from mirrormask. He's at marine boot camp right now & i miss him so much. We've talked about making things official & i'm all for it once he meets my family. I really want to write him right now but I don;t want to make him feel bad. I just want to be with him and not be so sad & thinkig about him all the time. He is the only person i;ve ever met who;s made me feel better about myself.

keep your enemies close

3 months into the year and I've already managed to remove people from my life and add even fewer. After some thinking in the shower I came to realize that I should have stopped talking to a certain person a very, very, very long time ago. Let's call her LM aka Loud Mouth.
Example #1 - My mum and I were in a fairly severe car accident which resulted in my being unable to work for 3 months and then a bunch of physical therapy after that. So I inform the work the next day of the accident, they send flowers and I get a few phone calls. LM calls me a couple times and says she's going to come see me. (I happened to be in between apartments when the accident happened so I was staying at my parents at the time which was are 40 minutes away from work.) Anyways, LM says she going to come down on Wednesday after lunch. Since I haven't seen anyone outside my family and doctors I was really looking forward to it. Wednesday comes and goes, she doesn't bother to call or return my calls for several weeks. She was too "busy." Um, you update your myspace every time you breathe so don't lie.
Example #2 - I have a stomach condition that has required several emergency room trips. My second trip occurred the day before we were supposed to go pick out the bridesmaids dresses. I spent all day at the hospital and when I got home I called to find out what time it was happening and where. We were having lunch first and then going to pick out the dresses. At the hospital I had Morphine put into my IV and I was pretty out of it from it. Since I knew I was not going to be able to eat much of anything I asked it it was cool if I just came for the dresses part. LM said it wasn't a problem. So the next day I wake up still out of it and head out to the bridal store, halfway there I get lost and have to call for directions. She answers and informs me that she changed things around and they're almost done picking the dress and about to leave for the restaurant. Awesome. I love that you left me out even though I spoke to you not even 14 hours ago.
There have been many other things. Her dating my male best friend and screwing up his life. Calling me a liar if favor of a guy who is a well known ass. Telling people secrets that I told her. Blowing me off when she comes to town and still expecting to willingly shell out $300 bucks for a dress. etc.
Honestly it was really stupid of me to remain friends with this person for so long. Kinda pathetic really.
