be my melody

So, in light of this (don't read if you don't want to know about stupid batman spoilers) I decided to give you a post on why Grant Morrison is stupid. I'm not sure where my dislike started. It was probably Animal Man, though. Goddamn fucking Animal Man. Whether he was comparing the seal hunt to ripping out dolphin fetuses and using them for toys, turning entire storylines into nonsense about Animal Man being a comic character until I was so bored I just didn't give a fuck about the plot anymore, or dedicating an issue to talking about his dead cat when they finally fire him, Morrison didn't exactly please me on that title.

Admittedly, he's still above Garth Ennis because it'd be damn hard to suck worse than Thor: Vikings(of which I swear I wrote a review for, but it seems to have disappeared? Goddamnit. I'll write a new one), which is -1000 points in writer rankings.

Anyway, in-between making bestiality jokes about Morrison because I'm classy, it descended into references to one of my very first contributions to scans_daily.

It was Animal Man.

This thread is lovely and notable as well as a good example of why I don't like Grant Morrison through the eyes of his fans.

John: do not let your eagle daughter hang out with him
Ann: D: D: D:
John: although that's more a warning for colbert and his eaglechild
Ann: Stephen jr is a boy.
John: would that stop morrison?
Ann: D:
John: he'd probably make it wear a little eagle dress
Ann: Shut up.
John: then he'll write a comic about it. And the eagle will realize it is a comic character and not stop talking about it.
John: people will praise it as a work of genius.
John: while mating with another eagle, the dialogue will say 'we fell like fighting superheroes'

So there's a new Issue (expansions, kind of?) city of heroes coming out and with them comes special free stuff for each character on your account.

As a result, I'm in a push to create new characters so they'll have the free stuff saved up for when they're higher levels. I've only got one left that I'm considering right now, so \o/.


My latest are:

Hi, Guys. I know a good many of the S2 themes are kinda hosed right now. Something changed with the LJ migration to their new data center. The Bloggish and Style Contest themes have their CSS hosted at LJ. That's by LJ's design, with how the code is distributed. The code is set to use LJ's CSS proxy to handle the access and display of the CSS settings. Since LJ's move, though, the CSS proxy has been kaput. But the CSS itself at LJ is still working. Until we can find a way around all this, a couple users have a way that you can use the Custom CSS in your customization area to get your layouts pretty damn close to the original for that layout and theme.

You'll enter two sets of code in that area. The first one would be the code from this URL:
http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml/themes/common/base-weblog.css

Just go there, copy it, and paste into the custom CSS box.

And the second set you enter will be from the direct CSS URL for your specific theme. You can locate this URL by viewing the source of your journal in your browser (View Source code). If you scroll down to the <link rel="stylesheet" section of the source code, you'll see the direct url to your theme's CSS at livejournal. Go there, copy that code, and paste it after the base-weblog.css code above. Make sure you have "No" selected to use the included base code (it's a dropdown), and that the URL field above the custom CSS box is empty. Click to save changes, and your theme will display much as it is supposed to. There is occasionally an element like a border that doesn't come through, but it's pretty close. As an example of the CSS URLs, this is the one for the Baby theme for the Bloggish layout: http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml/themes/lilia/theme-baby.css The CSS URLS will be start with http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml with the rest varying by theme and layout. I'll still be looking for an alternative to having to futz with custom CSS, but in the meantime, that method of applying the CSS will get your Bloggish and Style Contest journal themes put back together pretty well. Thanks, Robin

I'm starting to feel like fandom_lounge is spamming me, and it just won't stop.

If I wasn't such a lazy mod, I'd do... something.

GUYS GUYS GUYS I've always been jealous of Bernie and his 'bear' friends so I made myself a bear character in city of heroes after being inspired by this other guy and his called Psioni Cub and it's totally cool.

I think she looks a lot more bear-y than those guys bears. They all just look like big hairy men, they don't even use the teddy bear ears.
