I think its inevitable that as we read each other's journals we create mental pictures of each other. Post this on your own journal (iffin' you want to) to find out who your friends see when they read about your life.

Two Rules:

The person must be in the movies or on TV (but doesn't have to be an actor/actress). The person can be specific to a role (e.g. Jennifer Elhe's Elizabeth Bennent) or just the person themself.

You have to post a link to a picture of said person in the comments.

These castings can be based on things in the person's personality or on physical traits you know they have.

I strongly shrug to the pictures - if you can't find one you like, don't worry about it.

In other news: The super glue holding the cracked grill handle together broke today, as I was removing it from the in-use grill. Fortunately, the lid landed on the grass and the innocent brats within were not harmed.

Today's Shortpacked: Funny, yet kinda twists things on an angle again.

So, as [livejournal.com profile] spartanfan requested: What I feel about CoH issue #3.

Better.

I still hold it at arms length, though, because #1 & #2 failed utterly to do anything that would make me want to play the game, and I'm betting a lot of people felt the same.

But, I'll admit, the last 8 pages or so were much better, though I still think the way he (mis) handled Sister Psyche is still dumb.

HOWEVER.

I am also reposting a comment I left for herr [livejournal.com profile] spartanfan, because it is STILL TRUE.

Besides, I hold to my guns after reading some of Mark Waid's big "team books" recently (JLA, FF, X-men, Avengers, JSA) - he seems to repeat the theme of "Break the team and expose flaws/pressures/stresses that were never there before under other writers or canon, and turn all the members against each other more than the against the villians."

The fact that EVERY recent TPB of a team book that Mark Waid wrote (and I checked them all out of Columbus Public Library over the past month, so I do KNOW this, because I researched it like a good historian before I made my outlandish claims) doesn't say to me "This means he's treating City of Heroes like any other good Super Hero setting", as [livejournal.com profile] twfarlan suggested. It says to me that Mark Waid doesn't know how to write any other kind of book. (In deference to [livejournal.com profile] snowspinner, He did his best to deconstruct the team in his FF run, though not quite in the same way, and to show that there were a lot of divisions, psyche issues, and serious stresses on the team that hadn't appeared before, and particularly did some very nasty things to Reed Richards which came out of left field and may or may not have really been needed.)

But, we'll see. I know the book is changing writers soon. Maybe I will like it more then. Regardless, Waid doesn't have too many issues left.

In other news: Thai food incredibly fucking tasty. Full. In love with a wonderful girl and happy. Film at 11.
