Spent Friday night at sixht_light's house, as her family is away currenty and she's lonely. We watched a couple of old episodes of Smallville, which was fun- I used to watch Smallville religiously in the first season, it was the family show, but after that I didn't really watch it deliberately. (although I think I must have watched some of the first episodes of the third season because I remember them quite clearly- unlike the first season, which is hazy to say the least.) However, it was most fun for an extremely surprising reason, and that was this: Smallville has finally, finally turned Lucy into a slasher.

World: *faints*

I love her dearly, but L is a hetshipper through and through- any canon het pairing, any fandom you care to name. But Clark/Lex has, apparently, finally managed to convert her. I am faily stunned- not that SV Clark and Lex aren't pretty much the gayest gay boys to ever carry on gaily on your television, but this is still pretty monumental. Anyway, this massive milestone in my 12-step Corrupt Lucy to The Ways Of The Slasher, Or At Least Get Her To Admit That Subtext Is An Anagram of Buttsex (*snork*) has led to some faily fabulous dialogue.

3.02: PHOENIX

LEX: *shows up at Kent farm havign been presumed dead*
CLARK: Lex!
LEX: Sup.
CLARK: *looks at Lex for, like, five minutes before saying anything*
LEX: *returns stare with intensity*
CLARK and LEX: *embrace*
LUCY: Gayest look this episode!

LANA and CLARK: *angst about how they cannot be together FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON*
CLARK: I tried so hard all last year to be right for you, Lana!
LUCY: He tried so hard not to be gay!
CLARK: But I'm not. This will never work.
LUCY: Because I am deeply in love with Lex.
MOI: Also, you're a Sue. Superman doesn't do Sues.

I appreciate this might not seem revolutionary or in fact interesting to... anyone else. But hey, it amuses me.

Later that evening I mainlined all the Runaways scans presently easy-to-find on scans_daily, which I thoroughly enjoyed although was constantly second guessing because I've previously read other s_d posts that, you know, spoil Volume One thoroughly and I was all "But X character is going to turn out to be a mole! Why is X doing Y?" (names erased to be non-spoilery.) But my Gert love is true and pure and I sort of want to pick up the trades- except I a) can't really afford it and b) don't know if I'd re-read them enough for it to be worth it. Comics make it really difficult to become a fan, did you know that? SO SPENSIVE.

Also, I saw Howl's Moving Castle this evening, which was, well, a great Miyazaki film- because Miyazaki is always fantastic- but not so much with the, you know, canonicality. Howl wasn't Welsh for one thing. (*annoyed*) Also, if you see it, do make sure you see it in the original Japanese with subtitles, because the dubbed translation is... well, at one point the whole theatre burst out laughing because it was just that bad. I enjoyed it a lot though; but don't go if you're expecting anything with more than a passing nod to book canon.

Uh.

... it's not working. *sob* I have no idea what I've done wrong! The file is runaways but it hasn't got a file type or anything- it's just that it would open in CDisplay or Image viewer or Firefox or anything I've used to display images before. :-/ any ideas?

Um, let me think... They don't say Runaways 01.cbr and so on? Try adding the .cbr at the end. :(

It's just the one big file- there aren't any individual ones. It's odd! I'm totally puzzled by it because it basically says there's nothing there, even though, clearly, it's this massive file that must have TONNES of stuff in it. So. Uh, yeah. :p

Ooh. Can you take a screenshot of it? If I can see it, I might be able to figure out how to fix it.
