you got katana in my medulla oblongata

-scanned Nightwing and Blue Beetle this morning: as soon as I get my thoughts together enough for commentary I'll post them.

-finally, *finally* writing comics stuff again. XMFC, yes, but also DCU. remember that BTAS/GK episode "Never Fear"? the one where Bruce's fear went bye-bye and he was really, *really* scary? well, I'm rewriting that with *Dick* (Nightwing Dick) getting hit instead of Bruce. the really fucked up thing? utterly fearless Dick? is *at least* as scary as Bruce.

-almost done with my Ace and Rouge AU. hee.

-I am writing for three fandoms at once. I don't think this has ever happened to me before. but I have that kind of attention span so I don't know why I'm surprised.

-this month has been a bitch, physically and professionally. I *think* next month will be better, but the thing is, I never *know*.

So, today is my birthday, but that's not why I'm posting. I'm posting because Meg drew me lots and lots of unbelievably adorable Nightwhiskers, and they made me so happy I had to share. Because if they don't cheer you up at least a little, I doubt anything will. (So much cute!)

-recent LJ writer's block question:
What's the one question you would like to ask if the answer were guaranteed to be correct?

I'd ask Bill Kane what the hell he was thinking when he put Dick in the short shorts. yeah, I already know all the official answers and unofficial speculation. but I'd love to know the truth, even if it was just a blank look and "It seemed like a good idea at the time?"

-Jay (esp. pre-Crisis) is my favorite Robin, but I write him rarely, possibly because the more something or someone means to me, the less likely I am to mess with it. so it makes me unbelievably happy that my RtD sequel revolves around pre-Crisis him. ♥

-California is just now getting the summer we didn't have in July and August. my brain is heat-melted sludge: if I seem even more uncommunicative than normal, that's why.

-when my brain is sludge, I watch 'toons. currently, I'm rewatching Gundam Wing from the beginning, and gulping down those Batman: the Brave and the Bold eps I missed. possibly this is not a winning combination. Heero and BatB Bats... that's just not on.

-I just acquired those last twenty-odd issues of Nightwing I did not possess. *devours*

-writing Kon is my new favorite thing. this worries me a little.

-ONE PIECE 598. ODA IS GOD. THAT IS ALL.

-well, no, that is not all, but that is all I am presently capable of. perhaps later there will be a post. of capslock. possibly.
