So I figured I'd stop by and write. Since most of my day was surf/write/nap. Although I did manage to clean my bathroom a bit. I'm kind of afraid of going out. Mostly because I'll lose money, but also because I don't want to run into V-Day crowds. Although I think I may stop at a store and pick up some green M&Ms, because I think that's hilarious.
Tomorrow I want to see Coraline early and throw away the TV my Dad gave me.
Anyway, random things I'm thinking about.

Since I'm not (vaguely) reporting on it anymore, I feel good about saying this. I don't think the stimulus check is going to be as helpful as everyone thinks it is, at least infrastructure-wise. Not that I think it'll build bridges to nowhere, but I do think it'll basically create jobs for the loyal pet contractors a certain municipality/county uses all the time and would continue to use with limited funds. And sometimes these local things get federal money anyway. It feels kind of like some gauze, but not enough to quell the wound.

Things I learned from My Job:
1.) Don't Buy A House in a Development. It always ends bad.
2.) When Someone Does Something Wrong and They Didn't Mean It, They'll Have an Explanation for Why They Did It. But If They're Defensive, They're a Criminal. (See: Blagojevich, Rod.)
3.) Never Give Up.
4.) Unpreparedness is Worse Than Tardiness. If you have to pick one, pick the latter.
5.) [CENSORED BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'LL WORK NEXT]

I'm not big on this Fanboys movie, because "my fandom is better than yours" is something that bores me enough in real life and I don't need to see it as a movie re: The Star Wars vs. Star Trek scene. Ebert's review was crazy-harsh, though. Especially considering I saw a picture of his desk in a Russ Meyer doc and it basically WAS The Nerd Desk (TM).
***
Speaking of which, my Wonder Woman and my Donna Troy Wonder Woman are home now. Still haven't taken them out of the boxes, though.
Okay, eating time.

Much, much agreement there ,___, Sometimes you can at least bank on the boss arriving fashionably late to a meeting...
I was witness to a Wars vs. Trek exchange while sitting in artist alley in October. XD I think you either just feel the love and soak it all in, or you're going to be an ass to the bitter, tired end.
::also trying to cook right now:: out of self-preservation (not so much out of love) :U

Is for freelance or just in general? Or am I totally off-base.

Heh. I think most people are the latter about this stuff. I've just gotten way too old for "My superhero can beat up your superhero!" arguments to have a whole lot of tolerance for that. (Especially since the REAL answer to superhero vs. superhero is ALWAYS "Whatever the writer feels suits the story, duh.")

"Whatever the writer feels suits the story, duh."
And this is true for pro-wrestling as well. XD (Although the downside is the writers are toying with the livelihoods of real-life human beings and of course there's the rabid fans who get involved...)
As far as trying to best one another's superhero, they might as well try to best one another's Mary Sues because that's where the direction of the argument is headed anyway. :|

Hee. I think I would like pro-wrestling if it was a little more like that Japanese video I saw. Mark always keeps me up on the may-be-feminist trends in wrestling, though. I usually don't watch, but I listen.

Picking your favorite superhero when you're young is a bit like picking your personal god-totem, anyway, so ... that's about right.
