I found a website (www.ipodmods.com) that says it can fix iPod screens for 90 bucks. Certainly cheaper than buying a new one, but still more than I can currently afford. Soon enough, though.
A friend of mine is putting together an anthology of superhero/comic book/comic strip themed poems. He said if I finish one up very quickly he'll consider it for the anthology. I'm writing one about my favorite unsung hero of the DC Comics universe: the late, great Stephanie Brown a.k.a. Spoiler a.k.a. Robin IV. I'm almost done with the first draft, but couldn't remember how she was killed and had to go on a comic book run today to find the War Games graphic novel that had the information I needed. I'm very close to being done with the first draft.
Tomorrow my friend Amy is coming down from Boston who I haven't seen since I graduated from college back in December. Should be a lot of fun, she's never been to Providence.

2. Oracle is PARALYZED FROM THE WAIST DOWN! People argue all the time that she is a much cooler character as Oracle but why was it necessary to not only physically limit her, but do it in such a demoralizing/humiliating way?
3. Black Canary, while being part of the Bird of Prey is like a step-cousin to the Bat-family. I don't consider her immediately related.
2. Why couldn't Oracle be just as awesome WITHOUT being paralyzed? Why did she have to be paralyzed in the first place? Actually (and I wish I had the specific article to cite) when Alan Moore checked with the editor (at the time) of DC about getting permission to write "The Killing Joke" as such, the editor said "kill the bitch" or something to that effect. Furthermore, her paralyzation was done in such a way as to bring her down to the level of an object, but little more than that. I'll be the first one to say that she isn't weak, however she is still INCOMPLETE and this incompleteness can nag at her on occasion.
3. Black Canary is most often associated with the Justice League, even if she isn't technically a member. Although I'm not really sure what's going on with the DCU at this point except that every time I check up on things, they seem to really be pissing me off.
I'm really surprised we're at such opposing ends of this argument. Another interesting thing to check out (in relation to this) if you haven't already is Women in Refrigerators.
