A Conversation

Via IM:

Me: there's a really crappy cell phone video of reynolds reciting the oath, much to the sheer, unadulterated delight of a young GL fan.
Scott: I'm sure he peed his pants.
Me: well, i think there ended up being a lot of people there with wet pants.
Me: mostly chicks
Me: because it was so GD sweet.
Me: the video sucks, but the kid's reaction is priceless: (link)
Me: but seriously, i'm sure it led to any geek girls there wanting to throw their underoos at him.
Me: Yeah
Scott: Especially when he lowers his voice for the end.
Me: ZOMG i have to have his babies right nao!
Scott: lol
Me: it's mostly the sheer "awwwww...." factor that would push it over the top for chicks.
Scott: yeah
Me: hell, i kind of wanted to do him.
Me: he's so sweet to that kid!
Scott: Yeah, but you've been harboring those feelings for Ryan Reynolds for years.
Scott: It's those dreamy eyes...
Me: nah, my hatred of him for getting to routinely plow Scarlett Johansson nullifies those strange, confusing feelings
Scott: Or does it just make you long for a threesome?
Me: yeah, because i really need to be naked in the same room as ryan reynolds. my newfound vanity wouldn't survive that.
Scott: lol, ok, good point.
Me: jon disrobes. ryan reynolds disrobes. jon (picks up cell phone, flips through contacts): hi, inadequacy? it's me again. look, i'm sorry about what happened. i promise i'll stop checking myself out in the mirror if you take me back.

Yay!

My Contribution

Scipio at The Absorbascon has put a call for artwork submissions for inclusion on his site.
He posted some specific guidelines for the type of material he wants to see.
Examples include Hal Jordan getting hit in the head, and Jean Loring acting crazy.
Here's my submission; Hal Jordan getting hit in the head by Jean Loring, who is, naturally, acting crazy:

Esprit De Corps

This is a picture of the DC Comics character Soranik Natu, the Green Lantern of the planet Korugar.
Why did I draw a picture of her? Why not?
She's one of the characters that's come out of the new Green Lantern Corps series that I really like (and not just because of the big red cleavage, though that is a plus).
She's an interesting character with an interesting heritage, as one of the previous Green Lantern's from her home planet of used his ring to subjugate the people of his assigned sector and was the first Green Lantern to ever go rogue, the evil Sinestro.
(The name should have been a dead giveaway. I mean, when you're named "Sinestro," what other option is there than to be evil?)
After Sinestro's defeat, the Green Lanterns weren't exactly the most popular group on Korugar, given the treatment they'd received by the last one they had. Sinestro's successor, Katma Tui, though noble was reviled for being part of the Corps.
So when Soranik Natu was selected to join, she was less than thrilled - until she learned how useful her power ring could be in her career as a neurosurgeon.
Anyway, here's the picture. Make of it what you will.
