Haw haw haw!

Hi, all. Perhaps you’ve wondered just what the Hell was going on with me, so here’s the low-down: By Friday, I was still feeling pretty crappy—sweats, hacking cough, phlegm, insomnia. Spurred by my Mom, I ended up going to the doctor, and he prescribed some antibiotics; “Three weeks is enough,” he said. I concur. Started them that night, and while I do feel better overall, I’m having side effects involving my bowels, my back, and am generally exhausted. Which is why I’ve spent much of today and yesterday watching TV off and on, while re-reading The Stand…perhaps not the best choice considering how I feel, but it’s somehow cheering me up nonetheless.

So that’s why this entry’s going to be yet another cornucopia of links. Maybe tomorrow I’ll feel up to some genuine concentrated thought, and maybe not. I guess we’ll see.

Okay. First off, a crazy “1920s” pastiche culled from various silent films: Silent Shadow of the Bat-Man, which sensibly rifles The Man Who Laughs for its Joker. In two parts.

(I think GO! AND BE DECENT! is, for the moment, my favorite injunction of all time.;))

Next, some more TDK-related fanfiction (in lieu of any of my own)—“See You in the Funny Papers”, more Joker/Scarecrow, here (http://mercuriazs.livejournal.com/124250.html). Sequel, “Bedbugs and Boomboxes”, here (http://mercuriazs.livejournal.com/125041.html). (Aaaah, Heath and Cillian; what a pretty, albeit somewhat morbid, picture you make together!)

And just because I’m enjoying being able to embed shit in my LJ, I leave you with this. Sleep tight, kiddies! Don’t let Captain Trips or the Walkin Dude bite!

Ugh, sorry to hear that the lurgy is still ongoing.

But Silent Shadow of the Bat-Man is pretty awesome!

Isn't it?! Man, the stuff these kids are doing!

(I'm getting to where I love "Oswald Cobblepot, deranged gentleman of schemes" (aka Dr Caligari) even better than Veidt's version of the Joker.)

funnily enough, all I can think of when I hear "Don't Fear the Reaper" is "MOOORE COWBELL!"

I think that's most people's response, these days. Mine too. Damn that Christopher Walken.;)

While I can't get into the fanfiction side of things for some bizarre reason, I'm interested in looking for Alan Moore's take - The Killing Joke. I remember hearing about it when it came out, but couldn't get it for one reason or another. Then starvinbohemian wrote a great post about it and reminded me I have to find this graphic novel.


So much to buy, so little money.

Not by the way, but anyway, I have something for you:



You can upload it to your LiveJournal scrapbook and use it when you (if you?) write more stories involving these three. :-D
