I decided that a bit in Fortress of Solitude was based on him, since he was totally Spiderman in college, secret identity and all
Fortress of Solitude--Superman: DC
Spidey is Marvel.

And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, sorry, I meant the Jonathan Lethem book, not the Superman Fortress. Should have made that part clear. Anyway, the guy in the book wasn't Spiderman anyway, but a similar college superhero kind of deal

I feel guilty complaining about my head at all with ita in thread, but I've had a nasty migraine all day today, and I'm really ready for it to be gone now. Meds and food and water and sleep haven't seemed to help.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That's cute, Kristin.

Morning! I have to go feed cats who are not my own. But I bet I rack up great Friend Points in doing so, and it does get me dressed and Out of the House.

I have just spent three hours in the university library, which is being reorganised. Oh Lord, but the difficulties.

Oh! I almost forgot.
A couple days ago I passed a car on the way home that had PRVAT as part of its license plate. I like to try and work out what custom plates mean, but without the license plate holder ("Port Royal Privateers") I'd never have worked it out.
It was a convertible, and I noticed as I passed him that he was wearing a bandanna with skulls on it and skull dangly earrings. Paired with his greying beard it was a cool look. Especially for the day in question.
