If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

The internet had many reactions to the Batman thing, and they were all the best.

It honestly got to the point were I had to mute the word "heroes" on Twitter in order to read about literally anything else.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good old Twitter

Honestly, I feel like there was a scene implying Batman going down on Catwoman but perhaps I inferred more than I should have. Or maybe my memory is just making stuff up again.

Back from hand surgery and he is fast asleep. Have to go back Friday to look at it, until then he shouldn't use the hand. He is going to be miserable, but I'll try and keep him distracted.

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

They’re like, ‘Heroes don’t do that.’

They do if they expect to ever get a little something something again. IJS.

Work had been...

Yes, it really has.

My new rule is that days in which I don't look to see what jobs are available or apply for a new job, I am not allowed to complain about my job.

I talk about my job a lot less. And, honestly, this new gameplan is good not just for those that had to listen to me bitch about an unchanging workplace, it also makes me at least look every day at what options are out there. If any people I work with see that I have usajobs.gov open AT WORK and are miffed, they can self-evaluate as well.

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

Timelies all!

Tired, as usual.

Sounds like a good plan, Cass.

They’re like, ‘Heroes don’t do that.’

My favorite reaction to that is, “Great supervillain origin story!”

Happy birthday, askye!! This past year has had more than its fair share of challenges. May the year to come bring an abundance of delight.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

In regard to the Batman/Catwoman issue, Wonkette (which I read, even if I only have time for the titles) had an article on it. There were a number of comments, some of which include embedded videos.

In me land, yesterday was the grandson's 6 month birthday so I put a picture up on the FB site. He was a tiny baby (by Holt standards) since he was 5 weeks early, but now 28" and 19 lbs.

Also in my world there is heartbreak. Last year DH's best friend was murdered in Jamaica. I discussed that horror at the time. Last week his 26 year old daughter here in Ft. Lauderdale overdosed and died. Family isn't sure whether it was intentional. That poor family. It just hurts. She was just a couple months away from my Bobby in age.
