The Simple Pleasures in Life # 2

Wow, TWO updates in ONE day! I'm just trying to make up for the month I didn't write ANYTHING.

6. Finding a website where you can make your own superhero in just 3 easy steps! Try it! It's fun!

http://www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com/pb/95060160097026,print.htm

I present to you my superhero:
Name: Field Marshal of Deception
Powers: Post-cognition and super-ventriloquism
Weakness: Poor taste in men
Origin: Parents were killed by an Amish community

VILLAINS BEWARE!! FIELD MARSHAL OF DECEPTION WILL PROJECT HER VOICE AT YOU! AND SHE HAS VISIONS OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED ALREADY!

See. Fun.


7. Watching Smallville. OHMYGOSH! The drama! Season 6 is exceptionally good so far! A quick recap (spoiler warning, not that any of you probably care about being spoiled):

There's a new hero in town who is really showing up Clark!

And now he's gone.

Chloe is dating Jimmy Olsen!

No wait, he's gone, too, now.

Lionel Luthor is good!

No, wait, he's evil!

No, wait, he's......erm.....the jury's still out on that one...

Lana's pregnant with Lex's baby!

No, it turns out Lex just injected her with hormones to make it seem like she was pregnant so she would agree to marry him.

Lex and Lana are married!

No....oh, wait...yes, that one's still true.

And through it all, Clark is as clueless and whiny as ever. Doesn't matter, he's pretty to look at, and I watch the show for the other characters anyway. (Chloe rocks!)

8. Getting new comics. Yay!


Okay, that's enough for now. Once again, I might come up with some more as I continue to discover life's simple pleasures during this season of peace and joy.

Now get out of here! Don't you have a life? Go live it! GO!

Love,
Jules

The Simple Pleasures in Life

1. Waking up to find that you feel MUCH better after having spent the last three days being violently ill. (To be fair, I was only violently ill for the first 8 hours of the first day, but I didn't exactly feel like sunshine and roses on the following 2 days.)

2. Having that first cup of coffee since you've been sick and realizing that part of the fatigue you were feeling was actually just caffeine deprivation.

3. Pulling on a pair of pants that still have that just-out-of-the-drier-warmth in them! WOOHOO! WARM PANTS!

4. See number 3, but insert "socks" in place of "pants".

5. Practicing the Hallelujah Chorus at the top of your lungs while putting away your freshly laundered clothes. (Gotta get in shape for our annual sing along at 7am on Christmas morning!)

That's all for now, but I might post some more later when I have time.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Nothing to report...

AHHHHHHGGGGGRRRRR!!!!!!! Where does the time go? I think there must be some sort of time-sucking space worm that's permanently attached to my head. Naturally, such worms are invisible to the naked eye...my fully clothed eye, however, can see it just fine....

And, with that weird image in my head, let me continue on to say that nothing very interesting has happened. So, let me bore you:

I went to an audition, where nothing much happened...I went in, sang, went out.

I've been working like a madwoman...on Thursday, a bunch of Park Slope shops all agreed to stay open until 10pm to encourage people to shop locally. Many places also had big sales just for that night, but we'd just had an anniversary sale, so we served cookies and Prosecco, instead. (Prosecco is an Italian, bubbly, white wine, for those of you who don't know. It's good. Try some.)

I've finished Identical Strangers and have started An Arsonist's Guide to Writer's Homes in New England. I'm enjoying it, so far. And, of course, I'm still reading comic books when they come out on Wednesdays. I like all the books I've been following so far, but I have just recently hit upon my favorite comic: Booster Gold - The greatest hero the world has never known! It's fantastic! Booster is kind of a bumbling hero. He's sort of inept at times, but his heart is in the right place. So far, his story line has made me laugh out loud and shed a tear. And I don't mean metaphorically. I mean literally. Do you need further clarification? I love Booster Gold. Those of you (nudge nudge, sis) who are looking to get into comics and don't know where to start, might want to start with Booster. He'll be gentle, I promise.

On top of all this, I spent last Tuesday doing all my Christmas shopping, and got it done. (Well, to be fair, I'd already done some of it, but still, it was quite a feat!) My presents are wrapped and sitting under the 3 foot tree my roommates and I got for the apartment.

That's all for now, I'm off to scrounge up some dinner, then probably turn in 'cause I'm BEAT! (It was rather busy in the store today.)

Later,
Jules
Booster Gold tries to out-drink Jonah Hex.
