It seems that I haven't actually had anything of substance to update with lately except the inanities of my life in America; it seems I am currently in a weird limbo of "finally comfy" and "home sickness".
It helped a ton that Mummy stayed over Pesach, it was really fun to have a piece from home and that she took a bunch of the brunt off Jade and I.
After she left there didn't seem to be anything really different, except that she was gone.
While she was here I didn't really think about the fact that I hadn't seen her in two months... or any of my friends either.
Hence the homesickness.
On the other hand, having her here, I actually managed to prove (to her as well as to myself) that I could do something greater than myself and that I was actually a damn good caretaker - yes, I still want to be child-free, being a nanny has not changed that - and that I really can accomplish anything If I so desire.

So, Haza! on that.

My comic book obsession (and collection) seems to have expanded in the two months of being here - at home, all I had were all of "Sandman" + Dream Hunter + one Death book + Endless Nights and a few stand alone comic books consisting of Batman, Buffy and assorted. Not the worst, but certainly spare.
I now have;
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
Chasing Dogma
Batman: Hush I and Hush II
V for Vendetta
and
Watchmen.
Plus [livejournal.com profile] aesiron sent me his "Superheroes and Philosophy: Truth, Justice and the Socratic Way" book.
My Amazon cry of joy (resembling Xena'a battle cry): Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala!

And Haza! on that as well.

Hope you enjoy the book. While I was at McKay's (my favorite used book store in Chattanooga) a couple days ago, I found "Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Philosophy" for only $2 but I'm keeping that one. :p

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
