I'm feeling near to 50% better than yesterday, and that's on no drugs today other than advil for a headache. Hallelujah. If I had to be sickly as long as feiran or the guy who gave me the drugs yesterday were, I'd have called in sick today. I had an elevated temperature last night, not severe enough to worry about, but enough to give me chills. I slept really well, all things considered, which is no doubt why I am so refreshed today.

And I'm back to being able to concentrate on what I read, which is why this comment from Pandagon nearly made me hack up my lung when laughter turned into spasmodic coughing:

As Scripture says, “To whom much is given, much is required.”

"What scripture is that? The Gospel According to Spiderman? Maybe I’m looking in the wrong translations, but I can’t find that in the online Bibles at the BibleGateway."

Heeh. Gospel according to Spidey. Probably a lot friendlier than the actual gospel. Thou shalt make snarky comments when delivering final blows to thy opponents. Thou shalt deal with thy angst in as public a setting as possible. Thou shalt give J. Jonah Jameson a coronary when thou revealest thy secret identity to the world.

Heee!

Tonight is Superman Returns, which I'm quite looking forward to. It helps to have been saturated with the Big Guy of late. I watched the episode "Knight Time" of the Superman Animated Series last night, and that will never get old. If you haven't seen it, let me know, I'll get the DVD into your hands. It's the episode that proves why a Batman v Superman real-person movie just wouldn't ever work: they don't belong in each other's cities, and no neutral third city would have the emotional appeal. That's not to say that World's Finest wasn't fun (Cheeky Monkey Batman! SO MUCH LOVE!), just that I think the darker tone of cinema Batman and the more artsy/campy/cutesy Superman just wouldn't ever mesh.

And "Knight Time"....gah. Superman having to deal with Batman's rogue gallery of villains? Priceless. Makes the last-act appearance by a Superman villain completely ridiculous. Batman has better villains. You know why? Because Batman is better than Superman.

There! I said it! Again!

Heee! Seriously, when do I next see you? Maybe on the 4th? Or Jen's party if not?

If you come to our party, then the 4th. Or Jen's party.

Or if we have writing group this week. I'm working on something, but I'm not sure if it will be done or not in time.

And I don't know if we're having writing group yet because I haven't asked. Let me remedy that.
