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.)

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.
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.
Msbelle! Did you know your celebrity boyfriend is a Geek God (the Geek God)? [link]
Cholesterol tests came back still high. Poop! So now they want me to take pills.
I hear you! The only reason I'm not on pills is because my doctor doesn't want to give them to a "young woman". Because I don't want to take more pills, I haven't exactly mentioned that pregnancy isn't in my future. Oops?
I've been eating cheddar all week thinking it was really fucking weird swiss.
Also, just did the math, and have been neighborhoody basically all week. Not bad, not bad at all. But probably relates to me NOT NOTICING IT WAS CHEDDAR. And 6 am wakeups.
I need my routine, apparently.
AND I KEEP POSTING IN THE WRONG THREADS. I might be losing braincells.
