I think I expected a modern, minimal take on the costume, so that was surprising.

We've had gorgeous spring weather for two days, which is great except for the allergies that came with it.

Taking a moment... and I'm done. Man, that was a great reveal and a classic ep.

Maybe it won't look so cheap in the finished product? Yeah, I got nothing.

She sort of looks like a patriotic dominatrix.

Whether this is good or bad... well that's a matter of personal taste.

Any thoughts on the new wonder woman costume?

(1) Cheap tacky shiny costume that looks like a $15 Halloween costume.

(2) THE BOOTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RED.

(3) The lasso looks awful.

(4) The bracelets are supposed to be gold metal, not silver plastic.

I know I just came off like Comic Book Guy, but seriously. Gah.

I'm okay with the pants-ness; I've always wondered why the dudes get pants (or tights/leggings/whatever) and the women don't (or get fishnets). (And yes, I know there are exceptions, so I do not need them pointed out to me [I love you Cassandra Cain Batgirl]; I was speaking in generalities.)

It looks like a bad joke. (Also, since I'm being generally negative, the lipstick is awful.)

t edit Also, barely relatedly, I just learned tonight that Superboy (Kon, *not* Clark Kent as a teen) has his own title again. I had no idea! I need to get to the comic store NOW.

A Victorian dress made from 1,000 beetle wings that was worn by one of the most famous actresses of the era has been restored at a cost of £50,000

Yes I KNOW I wear jeans and t-shirts on all the days when I even get as far as outside pants. BUT SOMEHOW, IN SOME LIFETIME, I MUST HAVE THIS.

What Steph Said in re: the costume.

Her lipstick bugs me.

Also, the shiny.

Also, I was really tired at the end of work and just wanted to get home, when my train was delayed over an hour due to a train/pedestrian accident (involving a different train.)

I felt guilty for being annoyed, as I figured someone was probably killed. And I was right, as when we passed the scene of the accident (in Wilmette) I saw the body covered in two sheets that were about 30 feet apart.

Ugh.

Man struck, killed by Metra train

eta: The train was running express and not slowing down for Wilmette when it hit the guy. That's how a lot of these accidents occur, when a pedestrian tries to hurry across the tracks, not realizing it's an express train.

Another round of babysitting tonight, E just kept saying she hated taking advantage of me, but I was all "Um, your husband is in the hospital with a life threatening condition. This is EXACTLY WHEN you take advantage of people." Plus, I get to play with play-dough. I mean, really, it is such a hardship....

I love Play-Doh.

And in sort of Superman-related talk, a kid named Jor-El rang me up at the grocery store the other day.
