Any improvement is good. And moving sucks, so staying put isn't so bad.

But this new place is sooooooo much better.

Don't return. You'll never leave. The stories being told right now are just way too good

We will. Especially of the power plant next door.

Sunday was absolute craziness (and I was out driving in it), but today hasn't been so bad in my area. I actually was out running just a little while ago.

That makes sense. It's hard to project, over time, how a neighborhood will pan out. Mine has certainly gotten much nicer since I moved here, but it would've been hard to believe that back in '99.

Good times. It's gotten a little quiter around here since Villaraigossa took over, but he's starting to piss people off.

You had commented on my journal a while back, so I thought I'd stop by your page and check it out.

Something for everyone.

Oh, yes indeedy. "Janie's Got a Gun" RULED. My favorite album was "Toys in the Attic," though.

Yeah, back in HS I was a big headbanger (though my hair was too poofy to pull off the look). Aerosmith for working out, Iron Maiden to play D&D by, and Led Zep for chillin' out at the swimming hole.

Man, I miss having a swimming hole.

I'm embarassed to admit that I read about half of your journal before my brain started screaming at me. All those video games are making me dumb and ruining my attention spa--hey, what's that over there...?

*wanders off*

Indeed. And the background is actually a lot more subtle than it used to be. Ah, whatever. Change is change.

So you did, in following the Wikipedia entry, see who the character was that I'm getting, right?


I tried to edit my journal and nothing was sticking, so a re-did it.
No need to re-read it, but go to cornink's page right now for some of the funniest shit ever.

jesse jackson used to actually have things of genuine substance to say one point in his life. now, he is a buffoon. he is becomming/already that old crazy guy who babbles in the corner of the room you ignore.

Thanks for checking out rock.m4ssif. I'm trying to expand it, and get some other participants. We'll see.

You as the other half of the groupie: I'd have it no other way.

working hard does have it rewards

if highschool is a metaphor for life, i'm in deep shit.

When the dust settled in the IC #7 finale, Alex Luthor (from Earth 3 if you read the original Crisis on Infinite Earths, the lead villain in all of this, and somewhat de-powered at this point, got away after a final standoff with Batman & Wonder Woman after it appeared that he died under a building collapse.

In one of the last pages of the book, Alex is alive and in Gotham City, lurking around the city streets planning his next move aloud to himself. But he walks down an alleyway and runs into Joker and the real Luthor we all know. Joker takes out Alex first with an acid splash from a trick flower, coupled with a blast to the face with his high-powered joy buzzer. While this brief torture scene is going on, Luthor tells his Earth 3 doppleganger that he underestimated some key factors in his grand scheme of reshaping the universe in his image, but his biggest mistake was "not letting the Joker play."

Luthor does all the talking (while Alex begs for mercy), and as he says all of this the Joker pulls out a gun a delivers a fatal shot to the head, simply laughing. A great scene in the tradition of the end of Silence of the Lambs when Hannibal is follwing Dr. Chilton when he's in hiding.
