This is a post I'm writing with a mish-mash of stuff to document what's on my mind right now. It's been busy at work, so I haven't had a lot of time to coalesce my thoughts. Here's some random snippets:

I've been watching a lot of animated Justice League on DVD. Quality television from the same people who brought you the Batman animated series.

There's tons of ripe wild blackberries near where I live. I've been collecting, washing, squashing, and freezing them in preparation for another run of Brambleberry wine. I've got scratches on my right forearm and a tiny nettle-like thorn in my thumb somewhere. Grrr...

Mom's gonna hate this part, but such is her fate for reading her son's blog. So, the original American Pie introduced the acronym MILF as slang for an attractive mature woman. Since the movie came out this slang word has stuck in the internet vocabulary. A few months ago, there was an Evil Inc. comic that featured a screenshot of the Legion of Justice web forums. One of the threads was entitled "VILF" (the first letter now meaning "villain" or "villainess") and also warned "nsfw". Fans noticed, and the joke became a smash hit; funnier than the actual punchline of the comic. This snowballed until recently Brad Guigar (the strip's author) designed a VILF T-Shirt. It's a cute design, and a testament to the fact that nearly every geek has a villain or villainess that he or she secretly lusts for. (There's a few ladies I know who like The Joker)

That is all.

It's based on that design. We live in an age where everything's derivative, and with that referentiality comes parody a bit of immunity to the previously icky cultural attachments. I think it's cute.

I had a stupidly busy deadline day Friday and Angela had to deal with household-shit, so there we are. Though perhaps this week we can make time in our busy schedules to grace you with our presences. :P

I think it kind of does, unfortunately.
