Mar. 23rd, 2015 06:51 pmAm not a huge fan of the assholes and empathy-crippled jackasses leading the #savethecover charge, but I do derive some amount of schadenfreude from the posts where they scream and stamp their feet over DC deciding to respect fans of Batgirl the character and the book by dropping the Joker Month cover.

Mar. 16th, 2015 11:08 pmSomebody took the picture of Superman and Batman in their new costumes and photoshopped a baseball cap on Superman's head while recoloring Batman's mecha suit to look like Pikachu. I saw that, and inspiration struck:
I want to be the very best
Like no one on Krypton ever was
To find heroes is my quest
To build the Justice League my cause
I will fight for truth, justice,
And the American way
Teach evildoers not to mess
With the laws they must obey
Justice League
Gotta fight them all
It's you and me
I know it's our destiny
You all are my best friends
In a world we must defend
Justice League
Gotta fight them all
Our hearts so true
Our courage shall follow through
You help me and I'll help you
Justice League
Gotta fight them all!

Nov. 3rd, 2013 04:35 amAlexis was very lethargic when I got home from the haunt tonight, and she was crying in distress whenever I wasn't petting her. So I took her to the 24-hour vet, and they diagnosed her with Feline Infectious Peritonitis.
I held her while they gave her the shot to put her to sleep, and now I need to figure out a proper spot to bury her.
I know about the poem about the rainbow bridge and how the pets we love and who love us are waiting on the other side of us, and I understand that it's intended to make people feel better about this sort of thing, and I know that for some people it does. But if you're thinking about posting it in the comments, just don't, ok? I don't want to see that right now.

May. 25th, 2013 06:45 pm“'That's a nice song,' said young Sam, and Vimes remembered that he was hearing it for the first time.
'It's an old soldiers' song,' he said.
'Really, sarge? But it's about angels.'
Yes, thought Vimes, and it's amazing what bits those angels cause to rise up as the song progresses. It's a real soldiers' song: sentimental, with dirty bits.
'As I recall, they used to sing it after battles,’ he said. 'I've seen old men cry when they sing it,’ he added.
'Why? It sounds cheerful.'
They were remembering who they were not singing it with, thought Vimes. You'll learn. I know you will.”
