I'm super, thanks for asking

Today is a Superman day, I think. Mostly what this means is jeans + super logo shirt + black hoodie + glasses. Now I just need to find my blue super logo shirt (black or pink w/rhinestones? totally know where they are. Traditional blue? No idea.)

Did I ever talk here about the Superman Returns story I really want to write? Where everyone thinks that Clark is gay and so they keep setting him up with people and Richard sets him up with one of the sports writers and they go out and the guy that Clark is out with is like, "So." and Clark is like, "I'm not gay," in this kind of apologetic, I-kinda-wish-I-were-'cause-you-seem-really-nice way, and the guy is like, "Uh huh, look, do you want to talk about stuff? I'm a good listener and you seem like you've got something on your mind." and clearly the guy is thinking, "Whoa, closet" and Clark is thinking, "I can hear sirens two miles away what if someone needs me?" and Clark just kind of fidgets and messes with his napkin and looks kind of sad and then he asks, all in a rush, "Why is everyone convinced I'm gay?" and the guy sort of blinks and is like, "Prolly 'cause you're shy and awkward and are in love with Lois--" Clark looks mortified here "and you don't date anyone and no one really knows you at all and oh, right, you act like you've got this really big secret." And Clark is like, "...oh." And the guy thinks for another minute then says, "Plus you keep getting assigned to that Wayne guy when he ends up in town and everyone's kind of--" he does that hand gesture that implies kind-of-iffy "you know about him."

Clark coughs on the sip of water he just took. "People think I'm--" he does the same gesture "--with BRUCE WAYNE?"

So yeah, that's the story I wanted to tell. The story where the Daily Planet thinks that Clark Kent is gay.

add it up

01) AMY AMY AMY. Scientists say velociraptors had feathers. You know what this means, right? In JP4, not only can they have guns, but they can FLY*. Truly, raptors are the awesomest.

02) I bought new shoes today! Only a massive effort of will kept me from buying the most ridiculously emo scene shoes ever (converse slip ons in a lovely brown color with little pink broken hearts on them. I didn't get them. I'm not saying I won't get them in the future, but I didn't get them now and really, isn't that what's important?).

03) I got black chucks because, well. Yes. Let's not discuss the why, okay? They are super comfortable and happy. The other shoes I bought are black canvas slip ons with a sparkly red star on them. I can really only be thankful that I dislike belts and so the likelihood of my purchasing a white belt are slim to none.

04) Resident Evil: Extinction comes out tomorrow. Hot hot hot Milla Jovavich and Ali Larter and Oded Fehr. I'll be totally honest, I don't care how crap these movies are or how much of a departure they are from the games. Milla Jovavich does not wear a whole heck of a lot and she kills zombies and she's hot. This is also true of Oded Fehr and Ali Larter. So, really, hot people + zombiepocalypse. I'm sold!

05) I am not allowed to write angst. I've decided this. Because I'm a mean horrible person. Could I go to the wacky hijinks place with amnesia!Patrick? Sure! Did I? AHAHAHAHAHA NO. I went to the bitter angry Pete place. Oh, amnesia!Patrick. Best story I'll never write.

06) Heroes is coming back and I have good music (Graduation almost went platinum the first week it was out) and Muse is tomorrow (and Saturday!) and I love comic books (Umbrella Academy! yay!) and Street Scene is Saturday (Travis, baby, why you gotta hate? I'm forgiving you for your heartbreaking lack of flow! I am the lone supporter of your terrible hair!) and I can has a ladysorka and seriously, I'm so happy about my new shoes, you don't even know. Raptors with wings! Superman is awesome! I have a Shayera action figure! The people around me are talking about how Dragon Wars is amazingly fantastically awful! Truly, this is the best of all possible worlds.

07) I am 148 songs into my 298 song Muse playlist. Things I have learned from this: the instrumental Absolution album is fantastic and gives you a pretty hefty appreciation for that band's outstanding musicianship and the way that the songs; Muse really should Just Say No to remixes; man, I really REALLY love Matt Bellamy's voice; listening to "Supermassive Black Hole" split up into the various tracks (guitars, bass, drums, vocals) is a fascinating exercise in rock music structure and instrumentation; and um, I really love them, you guys. I love them like I love Tool. I don't love them like I love FOB and MCR, but the part of me that loves corporate whore emo and 70s stadium rock pastiche is not the same part of me that loves over the top apocalyptic wailing british art rock. So.

08) I forget what eight was for.

09) I've spent a large part of today reading xkcd. It is happymaking.

10) You guys, I get live music this weekend! And I get ladysorka! And Muse! And TAI! and Panic! I am all excited!



*I realize that having feathers doesn't necessarily mean that they can fly, but you know what? I couldn't care less about that. Really. Raptors who fly! Made of win! GRAR!
