Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

comics

1 is a Fantastic Four/Power Pack combo - it was 1 of 4 and I am pretty sure all four have been published and out.

The other is a Spider-man and The Fantastic Four, also 1 of 4 and #1 was called "The Arrival".

THANKS

ION - I called in sick today. mac got his new brace and getting to the brace place is an ordeal, so I zipcared for the first time and it was much more enjoyable. Now he has an awesome new brace that fits and it has Batman all over it.

Now I have 3.5 free hours. Problem is I have about 10 hours of stuff I'd like to do in that time. must prioritize.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Nilly, it came from here.

The checking can be done. And I think I'm going to insist it BE done. Because we have a small window before it goes from being a complicated thing to accomplish to verging on impossible.

Punishingly Intricate

Poor kid is going to have an awful time in school.

eh. According to my 2nd grade teacher sister-in-law, kids rarely give each other shit about "odd" names anymore. Names are just so much more diverse now then they were in the past. And I think Bishop is actually pretty traditional. I kind of like it.

Okay, it's 23 C (74F) outside, with humidex making it feel like it's 32 C. (89F) However, our air conditioning is in high gear, and so it's about 18C (65F) inside. And yet, I just went to look out the window at the fog, and the radiator is pumping out heat. It makes no sense.

Thanks, dcp. I've marked it for reading later (like practically everything that is not whining here or writing my dissertation).

we have a small window before it goes from being a complicated thing to accomplish to verging on impossible.

Then I'll insist of my Pollyanna-ish-ness and keep thinking that if it had to happen (and, well, in a world that has Murphy's laws, it obviously has to happen), at least the timing is as OK as possible under the circumstances. Good luck with that, either way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, Sue? I think the camera is broken...

Bishop's normal enough that I've worked with one or two of them.

Lillian's in class with a Sparks and a Ransome. Names these days. Sheesh.

Nilly, did you know that all of Dr. Horrible is now up on something called Whedontube (or at least it was)? Since you were avoiding the Buffy/Angel thread, I thought I'd mention the next time I saw your font in a timely manner.
