All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I have to agree with cheap shiny.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

PC, when you pack the suit, pack it in the dry cleaning bag. The biggest cause of wrinkles is friction, so packing in the bag will help reduce that.

I don't have a dry cleaning bag! I just bought the suit! But I will remember to save it for next time.

Okay, now let's do Freakazoid!

Freakazoid! Freakazoid!

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

My tummy hurts. I have to admit, I'm a little tired of this. I've had this pain before, but I've never had it come back this soon. I thought I was free and clear.

Tummy pain be gone!

Grace's belly is vaguely drum like -- I think it's a result of her new found air swallowing capabilities? I made a mess from her belly when I put her tube in and pressed down to get the air out. BAD MOMMY.

I like this WW. The easier question is what ISN'T wrong with that costume. HATE IT!

I really like the head piece on the new costume.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I really like the head piece on the new costume.

I'll give you that.

Those pants make me want to gouge my own eyes out, though.

Heading to Indiana this morning with the kids. Spring Break has began!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Barring a skirt, though, a superheroine shouldn't be in basically a bathing suit bottom. Too much likelihood of inadvertent flashing of the goods.

So, I'm voting YES to pants and HELL NO to those particular pants.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

George Perez says her bracelets are silver: [link]

Of course, I would prefer them to look like silver metal rather than silver spraypainted plastic.

Really, aside from the color of the boots I think the design of the costume is fine, it just should have been executed by a skilled costumer working in metal and dyed leather rather than the checkout girl at Halloween Express.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I don't have a problem with Wonder Woman wearing pants. Those look like spandex leggings to me, and that seems wrong.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So do people know there's this giant rock-thing orbiting the Earth? It's so big its gravity made it spherical. It's bigger than Pluto even.

Anyway, today would be a good time to look for it:

Largest full 'supermoon' makes debut tomorrow for Earthlings eta: Article is from yesterday

At precisely 3 p.m. Eastern Time tomorrow, the largest full moon in 18 years will show its ginormous self. The moon will be so close to Earth that it's already being called a "supermoon" when it gets its act on.

According to meteorologist Joe Rao, if the weather doesn't ruin the the sighting, the moon will appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter tomorrow. In fact, the moon hasn't appeared nearly this large since 1993!

Of course, Rao warns that there is a catch — most regular folk staring at the moon face on probably won't perceive it as being larger. Because our eyes can play optical tricks on us, making us feel like something is larger, the supermoon will only be perceptibly closer when it's "hovering close to a horizon line, near trees, buildings and other foreground objects." It's still going to look like a big ass moon, just maybe not to all of us.

Despite the lyrics to a popular song, it is in fact higher than a Zeppelin.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

The webcomic Wonderella (which is funny as hell) found the new WW costume to be inspiring: [link]
