against my feminist tendencies
I flipped through a combined series of Witchblade in Borders the other day, after having no luck finding any Sandman issues that I haven't bought yet. It was surprisingly good.
I've always leered away from Witchblade, mostly because my strong femi-nazi tendencies shriek in anger over shots of tan, big-boobed women in skimpy outfits bounding over roofs. I could probably tolerate it more if these girls had some actual character to them, but most don't. I haven't really read through Witchblade enough to see if they fully flesh out the main female character, but from what I've seen, I like her.
True, the Witchblade outfit is the skimpiest I've ever seen and the protagonist has giant ta-tas, but that girl KICKS ASS. That's her superpower, ass-kicking. PLUS SPIKEY TENTACLES.
Also, the idea of the sentient age-old thing taking over your body and making you stronger, better, and damn near invincible has enough sci-fi connotations to make me happy.
Six days until graduation! Eeeeee happy.
Was putting a giant audio-book on "Do-It Yourself Spanish" away at work yesterday and managed to drop the mother-fucker RIGHT ON MY FOOT. The sharp end down, of course. I did the akward hissing through teeth thing that means I'm trying not to swear like a sailor, and went to get a band-aid from behind the main reference desk. One of the libs made this 8O face when she saw my foot, which had decided to gush the darkest blood I've ever seen. Apparently, I hit one of the main blood vessels on my foot which counts a major injury, so I have to fill out an accident report form. >:(
Not happy: discovering that my anemia has not gone away, and does not like it when I do not get enough protein or iron. >: \ I've spent my day lightheaded and groggy, looking up ridiculous gay shit. AND BY GAY I MEAN ANIME GAY.
The anime-idea on what makes up gay realtionships befuddles me. Apparently, in manga world, when someone says
"Stop, that hurts!" while crying, it acutally means
"YAAAAY MORE SEX NAO PLZ."

This is what happens when I spend all day on the Internets.
