Angel 5: Is That It? Am I Done?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I am both intrigued and disturbed. Tag away.

In other news, Mentok is the shit. 'We don't ask for the mind. We TAKE it!' The other prosecutor is gold too. The one with the shrink gun.

In other other news, and even though I can't imagine an Interweb where there are people who haven't seen this site, Seanbaby.com has the funniest Super Friends stuff I've ever seen. Covering bases and all that.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

15 minute eps that air completely randomly as far as I can tell).

If you Google Adult Swim, and go to their web site, you can catch what's scheduled for upcoming weeks, though they are a bit erratic about going much into the future (mainly because they seem to shuffle the order of shows a LOT).

[ETA way upstream in some thread, may have been this one, it was mentioned that the Sealab 2021 theme rocks. I don't know if I was caught up in time to brag namedrop mention that I know the girl who wrote & sings it. Her band is called calamine and they are great.]

This gives you SUCH total bragging rights. Cooool.

eta They should play on a double bill with Lotion.

Hey, look! I think I got your name right this time!

Thanks.

That whole post made sense to me, but I think the reason this snip calls to me so, is a story I'm fond of telling about a cat I once had. (white fonted for convenience of those who are sick of cat stories and because it really has nothing to do with Angel.)

This is how I tell it: "Katie-cat was a month old the first time she ventured into the living room by herself. Mostly she stayed in the spare room with the rest of the litter, where they were kept out of trouble. She was steadily making it plain that the rules for the other kittens did not apply to her, because they were on their way to other families. But not her. She made herself right at home.

"Couldn't have weighed more than a pound at the time. My boy-cat Harvey was full-grown, at least ten times her size. He's a genial cat, but was discombobulated to find one of the babies wandering around loose in _his_ living room. To establish his authority, Harvey hissed at Katie.

"Did she get scared and back off? Oh, no. She swiped him across the nose. Twice."

"And he was wrapped around her little finger ever since."

eta: more s's to complete the white-fonting, and a conclusion to conclude the story.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

I came in here just to defend GL ... He's my favorite superhero. You know why? Because he actually had a choice. Lookit the rest of them: all "oooh, I'm a space alien, last of my kind/got doused in radioactive whatever/was psychically scarred by the deaths of my parents, now I'm fighting crime because I can't do anything else, yo." But GL? He's like a civil servant superhero! The GL Corps came to him, showed him the paperwork (they have good dental and a nice pension plan) and he's all "Sure, I'll sign up. Let's save the world! Two weeks of vacation to start, right?"

That's why I love GL. Because it's not just an adventure, it's a job. Although, I have to admit, Bats is sexier.

Earwormed now. But who can complain about a Rasputina earworm.

I can't think about GL without my mind segueing (and how the hell do you spell that) to The Brooowwwnnn Hornet.

Tonight, I am the Law.

"That's why I love GL. Because it's not just an adventure, it's a job. Although, I have to admit, Bats is sexier."

I wouldn't comment on Batman's sexual...um...characteristics. What I like about the Batman character is that since he lacks super powers, he needs to rely on what his intellect and skills can create for him. That also exposes some serious character and personality flaws, but the idea of Batman is not impossible. Theoretically, someone in the world we know could become the Batman if they had the resources and the willpower. That's pushing the probability envelope a bit, but it's not an outright sort of rejection.

He's not a figment. He can happen.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sure, but The Donald wouldn't be much of a secret identity.

Kyle is VERY pretty.

I mean, I'm not all FLAIL! WOOBIE! about his manpain like I am with Dick, but that's because Kyle grew on me, and we've known Dick since he was a wee lad. Dick, I want to pat on the head and feed soup. Kyle, well, I want to take him out for beer and possibly meaningless sex.

I have no real opinion on Hal. And John's a sexy bitch.

What is even happening?

Sure, but The Donald wouldn't be much of a secret identity.

Yeah, but that's the beauty of it. Millionaire Bruce Wayne was right out there, too. The real problem with the The Donald scenario, would be fitting his rug under the cowl. I mean, I assume they're custom made, but still...
