ang griffen's journal

I was going to type this up last night, but I decided to re-watch the first four episodes of The X-Files instead. I'm serious about getting through the whole series this time, guys. I've got two seasons on DVD even! :D?

Anyway, onto comics!

( Green Lantern Corps #49 )

( Legion of Super-Heroes #2 )

( Power Girl #13 )

( Justice League: Generation Lost #4 )

WOOOOOOOOOOO. So instead of going to my comics shop today, I slept in super late and failed to bathe and dicked around on the internet instead. I realized this means that I'm going to have two issues of Brightest Day waiting for me when I go in next Wednesday to beg my comics shop to let me stop buying it because it is horrible.

Speaking of DC Comics being horrible! You have probably all seen Ian Sattler not understanding that unlike actual people of color, BLUE PEOPLE AREN'T REAL and Bill Willingham actually saying IN PUBLIC "I wanted to gun down those girls who kept asking about the memorial case [for Spoiler]." Who lets these guys out of the house and onto panels at conventions? I MEAN REALLY.


My LiveJournal paid account came up, and I went ahead and bought a six month account at both LiveJournal and Dreamwidth. The problem is that I read a lot of people in comics fandom and in fancademia at Dreamwidth, but pretty much all of my real person fandoms are still at LiveJournal, which makes moving to one or the other kind of difficult.

I really do need to work on porting all my icons over to DW, and on cleaning up my friends lists, though. I think I will keep everyone I read on DW on my friends list at LJ, but I will take them off my default view.

Also! If you have a Dreamwidth account and would prefer I read you there, let me know and I will add you! I try to comment at DW for people who crosspost, but SOMETIMES I FORGET.

Also also! Dreamwidth folks: What communities do I need to be following there? I have decided I need to start working on being more chatty in fandom. Alternately, who should I be reading on DW or LJ that I am not? I want to meet new people!


Apparently the new Bravo show, Work of Art is starting tonight after Top Chef Masters. I do not have high hopes for it, but I will probably watch it anyway!

Look, I have had a VERY BUSY WEEK.

( Red Robin 12 )

( Batgirl 10 )

( Birds of Prey 1 )

( Adventure Comics 11 (514) )

( Booster Gold 32 )

( Justice League Generation Lost 1 )

( Black Widow 2 )


I totally skipped watching Dancing With the Stars tonight to watch baseball instead because I just didn't feel like DWTS. Baseball was terrible, by the way, since in the first inning Jhonny Peralta collided with/landed on Asdrubal Cabrera, and BROKE CABRERA'S ARM.

And also, then the Indians led the game for a while, but Rays came back and won it in extras on a WALKOFF BUNT I HATE EVERYTHING.

My point here is that I actually feel a bit like writing some (mostly gen, I think) baseball fic about Jhonny and Asdrubal now. Or something. Poor Droobs. :(

( Power Girl 11 )

( Green Lantern 53 )

( JLA 44 )

( Supergirl 52 )

And hey, so that Legion of Super-Heroes title is coming out soon. I'm going to have to start kicking some books off my pull list pretty soon. I cannot buy all of the comic books.


In other news, I am not a fan of the prime time NFL draft. The point of the NFL draft was that you watched that thing all Saturday morning/afternoon, and it was a TRADITION. And basically, ESPN are a bunch of fun haters.

So today my co-worker wanted to talk to me about Dancing with the Stars, which is hilarious because she is very much not the sort of person who I thought would be into DWTS. Anyway, she is also a total Ochocinco!wife, and also really on Team Pamela, so we had a lot to talk about, but my favorite part was when she was like "I really want to like that figure skating guy, but he's just so... robotic."

And I had to tell her that he actually has like a hundred times more emotions on DWTS than he does in actual figure skating things and she did not believe me. My point here is that I need a story where Evan Lysacek is an actual android so badly.

In magical telepathic horse news, I am partway through Winds of Fury. So far the best part is Skif being all worried that once Nyara is around lots of other people she won't want to be around him anymore, and Ghost!Stefen being like "QUIT BEING SUCH AN ASS, ASS." Bard Stefen, you are so great.

Also, I would read Dawnfire/Tre'valen/An'desha. However you'd make that work. I like how Dawnfire and Tre'valen are actually married on the astral plane, by the way.


IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR DC COMICS PEOPLE: Can J'onn Jonzz phase other objects with him, or just phase himself?
