My wrists are starting to hurt less, but I still don't know how people find the time to do this on a daily basis. I run out of things to say fairly quick most days, and do not get inspired that much to write daily. Of course, my schedule has been hectic lately and there hasn't been much leisure time to just write stuff down. I have found that I have a lot more time now that I have quit Farmville cold turkey.
I was severely moved this week while reading a comic book. In a story published in Superman #705, it shows the little victories Superman can have. A boy and his mother were being abused physically and mentally by the father in the small town Superman is currently visiting (for those that don't follow comics, the current storyline has Superman is on a "Walking" cross-America tour to show the ordinary people he cares...) Anyways, this kid has finally had enough of the abuse and puts on a Superman shirt as he knows the Man of Steel is coming to town. He gets in front of his mother as his father is about to beat her...and gets thrown into a root cellar and locked in as a result. (As a father myself, how ANYONE can treat their child like this...grrr....aaarrrghhh...) The kid, remembering that Superman is coming, yells until he gets his attention. Superman naturally hears and opens the cellar. The father comes and yells at Superman to mind his own business, and the look on Superman's face when he confronts the father; I have only seen in "Crisis in Infinite Earths" when he gets angry at the Anti-Monitor after Supergirl is killed. Even the panel representing Superman's thoughts are "I could kill him..." The father is arrested and it ends with Superman giving the boy a personal number for him to call Superman every day to let him know if he's OK, and he lets the father know that next time there WILL be consequences (again with the enraged look). A small justice to the world, but every little thing helps. I actually fought back anger myself. The cover itself was compelling, the kid in the Superman T-shirt with a black eye. Comics have always been relevant, but the power of this story was such that it had to be autobiographical. Kudos.
Anyways, today I feel the need to continue with another top ten list, so here is yet another person's "Hottest Girls List..." Just kidding, there really only is Buffy and Supergirl (and Kirsten Bell, got to have one "real" person on this mini-list.) And I wonder, can there be a 1.000000001 and a 1.000000000001 on a list, who needs to choose. (P.S. Watching Supergirl get bitchy with Cat Grant in this month's issue was hawt!) And of, course, with Spike back just after Buffy has declared her love, again, for Angelus (with the accompanying "naughty thoughts" about Spike; does Buffy think of other things then sex,... woo hoo) is this not an interesting way to end the series run? Stay tuned....
Anyways, Saturday morning, and Littlecaveman is tapping on the TV again, got to go stop him...Bye.
