...if you were to ask me what is wrong with me, I think I would have no answer.

All I know is: I WANT IT.

In other news, Political Animals was good tonight. Which is saying a lot since it's always good. I totally saw that thing that happened coming from a mile away. Called it!

I tried to make a post about things but everything I typed made me sound like a Debbie Downer because it was just that kind of fucking day today.

Post happymaking things in the comments? Please?

Also, what are you listening to musicwise? I need something new to listen to. (things I like)

SO. Last friday's ( Young Justice. It was amazeballs, yes? )

IN OTHER NEWS, I went to the comic shop todayyy!~


( COMIC BLATHER BEYOND THIS POINT )

I've also been reading The Ultimates mini-series in my spare time. (Basically, it's an AU comic series, made up of multiple mini-series', released by Marvel. It has alternate version of the Avengers, called the Ultimates and is omg amazing. There's also Ultimate Spider-man and Ultimate X-Men, among others, that exist in the same universe but I haven't read any of those.) I really love this series, you guys. Everyone in it is pretty much batshit insane (let me not talk about the clusterfuck that is Betty Ross because whut. the. fuck.) (Thor. Is he a psychiatric patient gone wild or isn't he?) (LOKI. For dwell_ondreams because, well, duh.) which makes it at times bizarre but it's also interesting and is something I felt was more adult oriented than your average superhero comic usually is. (Not as in rated NC-17 adult, but it deals with themes like abusive relationships, politics and even incest, all things that the average teenager might be less interested in reading about. Not that I know anything about the average teenager... but I don't think it would have piqued my interest when I was a teen.) It was written in the early 2000s so it deals a little with the Iraq war and what a world with superheroes response to war might be. Care for a little pre-emptive strike, anyone?

Ultimates I and II were good, III not so much imo (because they changed both the writer and artist, the result of which was a pretty crap story). I almost choked on discovering after having already read it, that Orson Scott Card wrote Ultimate Iron Man. (Basically IM's origin story for the Ultimates universe.) It was... bizarre, like a lot of things are in this universe. There was a lot of talk about brain tissue and regenerative powers and the fact that Tony Stark spent the first few years of his life painted blue... (I shit you not, this is all Ultimates canon.)

So my point? Ha ha ha. Like there was ever a point. Um, I've been reading the Ultimates and I like it. If anyone is at all interested I would be very willing to share (if only to get other people to chat with about them) so poke me and let me know. Ultimates I-III are all mini-series' (the first two are 13 issues each, and the last is about half that long) so it's not a hard series to get into, which I think is the one thing I appreciate about it the most.


YES, I AM AWARE THAT THERE WAS COMICS BLATHER BEYOND THE CUT. THIS HAS NOT ESCAPED MY NOTICE, I ASSURE YOU... #FAILBOATS
