Thank you! Some — Google Music and the android flipboard equivalent, curse them — seemed to be “wrong country you fool!” I think it’s them who’re stuck in outdated modes of jingoistic divide. The other’s that I could use were great though.

First of all: Android > IPhone. By a long shot. and get “ElectricSleep” for the best alarm clock ever. :)

Tee hee, isn’t it “No Sleep ‘Til Vegas?” Really, Nicklas! I am shocked! Get your American English sayings right!

That is not a Beastie Boys’ song though. And as a comic book reader, Brooklyn holds a stronger allure with all them writers and artists there.

These are the days that I love:
- The first thick socks of the season.
- The meals I remember to eat slowly.
- The smell of the cookies.
- The reassurance that I’ll always get a reply.

The days I love then:

• When the air and sky are clear and you can see stars both big and small as well as the faint shades of the milky way.
• When I sleep on a couch or floor at a friend. It’s one of the few times I can go to sleep early.
• When people just say hi or ask me to be a part of things without me being the initiator. That happens far to seldom.
• When there’s rain hitting the window late at night.
• And sometimes, the rare times when I can just let everything go and sit on the floor with a cup of tea and listen to music without any thoughts in the brain ruining it.
• When the snow is crisp and sparkle with the sun as it goes squeek under the boots. Add great music in the ears, and a slight wind that search itself in between the scarf-intervals and I’ll smile like an idiot.
• When people actually want to hug me. Those days are awesome.

But you can love heroes conceptually, regardless of writer/artist, yes? Some people like the rich-angry-vengeful & others like the dreamy-nice-death-reaper & some like the ultra-violent-blue-collar. What characters do you like the idea of?

I tend to gravitate towards the human and broken and how that works with their idealism. Chamber, who blew off his torso and lower parts of his face when his power emerged and that put adamper on his social skills. Or when it’s blue-collar comics, it doesn’t get more blue-collar than Hellboy. He’s like a hero made from plumbers.

Or Captain America if we’re talking about high ideals — unlike superman he jumps in front of bullets not because it won’t hurt him but because it’s what a hero do.

And then we have when they quickly twisted Deadpool from an assassin into something more interesting by making him into a very mad man who can break the fourth wall. The meta of that gets to me as I love those things.

But to me, a high concept of powers and origin doesn’t speak to me alone. Sadly. Example. Iron Fist. Originally very boring actually, very much a creation sprung from watching karate movies of the seventies. Despite that the 2006-2009 series The Immortal Iron Fist was amazing. Good storytelling can make anything great, just as bad can sink it.

This is the problem: what I like don’t really come out of the base concept. It’s the details. And this means I probably skim over and ignore things that’s good due to them sounding stupid. (Thank God I never ignored Buffy because of the hideous movie.)
