Meimi has apparently decided to make herself my awesome layout fairy. Behold my twenty-first birthday present: A layout of pants!Logan, from Gilmore Girls (and, you know, that girl who's always hanging around him, what's her name . . .).

Dammit, Wally, can you do nothing right?

"Perhaps I haven't reminded you of my natural eleven superiority in the last five minutes. Let me assure you it includes all matters of dexterity. I'm not saying I could dodge arrows. I'm saying I wouldn't have to. 'cause I'd steal them real fast with my dexterity, see?" - Thief, 8-bit Theater
I was channel surfing earlier tonight and caught one channel in the midst of a program on, of all things, asexuality. Curious, I left it on for a minute or so . . . until the disembodied narrator started going "But are these people -really- as happy with their lifestyles as they claim they are? Or are they repressing things. Some dark event in their past that would explain their current attitudes . . ."
Then I turned the TV off. Seriously, if they were saying things like that about homosexuals, they'd be given so much shit, and rightly so.
But the real purpose of this entry is to talk . . . about Wally! Because if it's been a month since I've blogged, it's been a month since I've had a chance to rant incoherently about my dislike of Wally West, and that just ain't right.
Before I go on to spoilery talk about the most recent episode of Justice League Unlimited (I think it's called "Divided We Fall"? It's not been aired in the States yet, anyway) I found . . . this bit of specialness in response to a letter in an issue of Impulse (issue twenty, the baseball one). . .
... all of the speedsters at different points in their careers (except for Impulse ... and Barry Allen) have tried shaving their legs to reduce wind resistance.
Just ponder that for a little while, if you would.
Now, onto the spoilery screaming.
THEY HAD THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO RID THE ANIMATED SERIES OF WALLY FOREVER AND THEY DIDN'T TAKE IT. SPEEDSTERS HAVE A FINE TRADITION OF DYING AND PASSING INTO THE SPEED FORCE DURING DRAMATIC BATTLES NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN.
. . . Well, a couple of them, anyway. I mean, Barry died in battle (twice!), and he's in the Speed Force now, and Johnny didt he same thing, and it's a perfectly respectable tradition to follow in, dammit!
And there was hand holding and -ew- to pull Wally out and he would have been happy there, dammit!
. . . Of course, he would have been -happy-, and I can't really decide whether it's worse to have a happy Wally, or a still-living Wally.
