I cannot sleep.

There is a whole cluster of loud, obnoxious drunken frat boys sitting right underneath my window. Even with the window closed and the curtains drawn I can hear them shouting at each and laughing like fucktards and talking about doing coke and fucking bitches.

WHERE IS SOMETHING HEAVY I CAN THROW AT THEM?

Also some kind of drama seems about to unfold with roommate's drunk boyfriend, I don't even fucking know.

I HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW I FUCKING HATE YOU ALL DIE IN A FIRE.

ETA: apparently roommate's boyfriend got in a fight with one of the drunk frat boys, who proceeded to get in a shouting match with our RA when she told him to STFU and go to his room, and now there are cops here and he's getting arrested.

MAY I SAY AGAIN I HATE FUCKTARDED FRESHMAN DICKWADS?

Some Thoughts on Booster Gold #19-20 (in no particular order):
  1. How cute is it that he calls Skeets 'Coach'? SO CUTE.
  2. The Goldstar magnetic suit still doesn't make any sense to me. Whoo comic book science!
  3. The Rainbow Raider has the singular greatest supervillain origin ever. And by greatest I mean most fantastically, side-splittingly lame. "I wanted to be a great artist! But I was colorblind! And the great pain and angst of this drove me to SUPERVILLAINY."
  4. Once again we have proof that Booster's ray ass is practically a character in itself. Debilitating blindness is no big deal, but the ass is no longer shiny? Booster Gold will not stand for that!
  5. This whole story arc highlights a point about Booster that I wish more characters in the DCU would acknowledge: Booster is opportunistic, but he's not mercenary. He profits indirectly from being a hero by endorsements, commercials, celebrity appearances, all that jazz, but he's never been a hero for hire. He doesn't seek out crimes that he thinks will get him the most attention, he doesn't pick easy fights that will make him look him good, he doesn't ignore people in need because he doesn't think he'll get any credit for it. The people he saves wouldn't be any more alive if he didn't appear on the news after; the (often considerable) danger to his life doesn't go away just because he makes money off his name. You can question his morals, but you cannot question his credentials as a fucking hero.
Re that last one, I...may have some lingering resentment toward the DCU's superhero community after the way they treated him in Countdown, 52, and the beginning of his solo series. And by superhero community, I mostly mean Batman.
