For my listening pleasure at work today, I'm going between "Suffer" by Bad Religion and k.d. lang's new album, "Watershed".

Attention: Sales are not awesome on the best superhero book out there now (and the only superhero book I buy): DC's Blue Beetle. There are now three trades out and you should all buy them. Points:

  • Mexican-American teenage hero with believable family life
  • Hilarious dialogue which does not lower the pathos level
  • Good art despite multiple artists
  • Complex backstory and aliens who know PR


Recommended!

Have you ever tracked an LJ death? I've never directly known anyone on LJ who has died, but every time I hear about one in an extended flist network or a community, I can't stop myself going back and reading through their last months, their profile, their flist's reaction, etc.

Sometimes they are half of an LJ couple and I get sucked into reading the grieving partner's blog both leading up to and after the death.

The lastest was a gay couple in Australia who have several kids. The one who died (at 30! after a brief illness) was actually from Vancouver but had moved to Oz with his partner where they'd started their family.

I guess it's because I'm so used to inferring the lives behind the minutiae of LJ entries that I find LJ death so poignant and obsessively interesting.
