Christopher Marlowe,

Spoiler on Supernatural

((Michael's argument was framed on the probabilities. Why are you, Dean Winchester, going to donate your body to God? 'Cause it's destined. How do we know it's destined? Consider how infintely unlikely it is that we would be here today by chance.

Michael was saying that each person's life consist of a series of choices. If we were able to play out all the possible choices in a life to death, then we'd find a very large number of potential life histories. But in the end, only one unfolds.

What were the odds that Dean's parents' choices would lead to them meeting, marrying and having Dean? Astronomical kiddo.1 So Dean, there's no real choice involved here. You're mine.

1 And what were the odds that all their ancestors would have made the choices they did that lead to the two parents being born?
))


OTOH, I don't remember Lucifer saying to Sam, your destined to do this - you have no choice. Lucifer said, ~ You may say no now, but in the end, you'll embrace it. It's a choice Sam. But I know you in ways you don't know yourself. You'll want to do it. You look good in horns.

Question 1: Minnesota

Question 2: All I've seen of Michael was in the last episode.

Spoiler on Supernatural

((Michael's argument seemed to be Sam had no choice in the matter, that what was to be would be. OTOH ... ))

... what I remember of Lucifer's words to Sam was he'd make the choice, because he'd want to make the choice.

Spoiler on Supernatural

((Didn't Sam tell Dean ~ Wouldn't you do it to save Mom?))

Christopher Marlowe Beldin I just love it because it amkes no real sense generally. Snooper Cat and Blabber Mouse were detectives in a Hanna-Barbera cartoon. In one epsidoe they were investigating a crime in an old mansion and got attacked by a giant mosquito. Snooper grabbed a sword off the wall so he could "fight fire with fire" and got seriously clobbered. however, the mosquito flew into a wooden door and got its beak stuck. BlAbber pulled out a hammer and bent thge beak double so it couldn't get out while saying his little witticism.

Hello Again,

Christopher Marlowe: Well, usually there would be, but we are quite slow still. I worked about half a day at home on Wednesday.

I've got some things to keep me busy, but it is more busy, than productive if you take my meaning.

SMALLVILLE "ABSOLUTE JUSTICE":
So, did anyone watch the Geoff Johns written JSA episode of Smallville from last Friday (Two hour)? I've got to say I enjoyed it--not because it was great, but because I simply like seeing how they bring in other DC Characters. Smallville really has brought in many DC universe characters over the years, and I generally enjoy that.

There were some flashbacks that I think I really liked best of all, and they showed most of the big JSAers in one form or another. Well worth the viewing for a DC fan.

Drive-By


Christopher Marlowe,

I've read Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead. I enjoyed both, but found the latter a superior story. May have read a third, not sure. This particular novel had one character who was severely neurotic. As I remember, She felt, for religious reasons, she had to follow the grain lines in the wood planks of her floor. The story kept coming back to her struggle to do this correctly. It made me feel the nexus of religion and neurosis and it also bored, bored, bored me. *g*

Once upon a time, there was a rough rule of thumb that promotions pass 5th dan (degree) black belt were given for years of service to the particular art.1 It's a long journey. Here's one potential slayer(?) beginning her journey. *g*


1 This rule may apply only to modern Japanese martial arts. Ranks and ranking vary a lot across cultures and countries. I don't think there's any law or organization in the US that could prevent me from founding a martial art and awarding myself a 12th! degree black belt. Caveat emptor.

Who was looking forward to some snow
He prayed and he prayed
But the dry ground just stayed
Until someone said To Whistler you must go.

Niblet: Thanks for the offer! Let's see, one bedroom in warm, sunny NZ for me, the wife, kids, dog, cats, etc., vs. staying here in snow up to my...nethers.

But then, I don't think I could get a flight out anytime soon, so I guess the point is moot.

Christopher Marlowe: I guess I can't really complain about the snow to a Dakotan. especially one with two new coats, a vest, a hood...

They have rodeos in the winter up there?

Wolfguard: Yep, I've lived in North Carolina, where just about any snow or ice would mess things up. So I can imagine what any heavy snow in Georgia must do. But please get your turles out of the peanut butter.


There once was a young man named Beau
Who was looking forward to some snow
Said he, "One way or another,
It's like a turtle in peanut butter."
He was suffering severe effects of hypo.

Christopher Marlowe,

Well, north Georgia is mountains. Higher altitude than DC, likely steeper terrain than DC. Then again, DC's snowfall is said to be the deepest since ~~1920s. Washington D.C. certainly has more capacity to deal with snow than does the small mountain towns of north Georgia. In the end, each person has to deal with what's around them.

Christopher Marlowe,

I have the first four collections, ~The Long Road Home~ through ~The Time of Your Life~. I've only read the first comic in ~The Long Road Home~. I did not want to read BtVS 8 till I finished my 8 season stories. Since I've only written ~ 7 stories set in season 8, it could be awhile. *g*


North Georgia has been hit with heavy snow. One man said getting around is like "A turtle swimming in peanut butter." *G*

wolfguard I've enjoyed the Buffy comics early on, but I have been less impressed lately. I'm not even sure which issue I read last. I think an earlier volume of Buffy has received high praise, though, so it isn't a terrible comic overall. *g*


Beldin Speaking of comics. I bought this issue

Grimm's Fairy Tale. A sexy, gothy, modern take on the tales.

I'm not sure why I did, I guess I was curious. Despite the cheescake cover, there was very little of it in the comic itself. I was almost disappointed it was half-way decent. If I was to judge the comic series by it's covers, it would be a poor series indeed.

wolfguard-I stopped reading the comics after the Fray arc. But I do still keep up with what's going on via livejournal, Whedonesque and SlayAlive. The story (as it's nearing the end of S8) seems to be improving. Maybe it'll be better if you wait; read it all at once when all the issues are out.

Here now.

Christopher Marlowe - Yes, I did, thank you. Had a good visit.


Niblet - It used to be people who were using Internet Explorer on a Mac that got the skinny posts.

Leather Jacket - I certainly didn't see Hourman in very many stories. Usually it was in conjunction with the JSA and the writers could switch from hero to hero.

Niblet : Thanks for the warning. I've fixed my post, which had a stray line break.
I'll probably re-post the link on Monday since weekday people probably don't see the Saturday board.

Christopher Marlowe : Not a problem. Smallville isn't that worth paying attention to anyway.

Beldin : I don't know Hourman, but it's tough to make a TV show where the concept involves the hero's power running out at any moment (or similar). After several seasons, it starts to look like an empty threat.
For example, Buffy died twice. The threat of her dying started to lack poignancy.
Or, from Doomed, "It's the end of the world." ... "Again?!"
Hourman's gimmick, as you describe, sounds especially problematic. Everything would start to seem quite contrived if he had to wait around for an hour after every use of his pill. In a comic book, it might not bother people ... although I've certainly seen plenty of heroes who seemed to have to stay in hero mode for longer than an hour at a time.

right now there isn't because our

neonate I heard there was a vicious snow storm out east. My extreme sympathies!

neonate It's from a company that sells horseriding gear and other equine products. The original tag had $150, so the the discount was great. I had a heck of a time with it though. because the arms of the inner coat got pulled out of the arms of the outcoat. It also has a hood that is hidden in the coat caller. The inner coat has detachable sleeves so it can double into a vest.

Amazing stuff.

Christopher Marlowe: A "second coat"? Do you wear it, or paint it? Anyway, I hope it's nice. Sounds like you had a good day. I had a great day--if you find wearing out your back shoveling, and reshoveling, and reshoveling, snow, a real hoot.

Niblet: Hey there. Got any room for visitors down there? I'm kinda tired of winter up here in the northern hemisphere. And I won't comment on your ecchymoses.

An LJ limerick for the day:

There once was a young man named Beau
Who was looking forward to some snow
But when he got back to the Beta
Some 21 inches later
He cried out to the heavens, "No mo'!"

I need a T-shirt contest where my idea doesn't take two days to get half-done. Of course, coming up with an idea that doesn't need 12 colors when the limit is 6 would help.

Christopher Marlowe, Beldin : Hawkman is one of those characters that switches back and forth between the Justice League and Justice Society.
They didn't use The Flash on Smallville because DC/Warner had plans for the character. Instead, they used Impulse (Bart Allen, Barry Allen's ... grandson? ... from the 31st century or some such.

Beldin I had thought there was an actual revival of Dr. Fate in the last year or so. I could be wrong though.

I believe the Flash has appeared on the show, but not in the red costume. I don't believe Green Lantern ever showed up.

I think they had Dr. Fate be a basket case until he put on the costume.

Beldin The movie wasnt' long, only an hour 10 minutes. Glacial pace, but rather soothing.

Christopher Marlowe - I've heard of the book. Could be interesting. I'm rereading the Lost Fleet series and listening to Mike Harvey.

Leather Jackets Finish the Limerick

There once was a young man named Beau
Who was looking forward to some snow
But it came down and down
So much it closed the town
He was stuck home with nowhere to go

Beldin I'm putting in a dvd called The Book of the Dead. It's a stop motion animated movie that has ghosts and Buddhism.
