Groggy but better

Gosh, those histamines really take it out of you, don't they? At least I do sleep at night now (though not nearly for as many hours as I'm used to), but I spend the next day with a pretty uncooperative body, something halfway between a rag doll and Plastic Man (maybe if I just practice a bit I'll be able to go full Plastic Man and then I can do all my chores without ever getting up from my seat again).

I try to regain control over my body by going for walks, mostly in places with low traffic (as I'm a bit groggy still and not completely trustful of my senses), which means I go places I don't usually go and notice things I've walked straight past before. Today I walked halfway round the bay Store Lungegårdsvannet and noticed for the first time a memorial pillar to seven members of the Royal Australian Air Force (463rd Squadron) who were killed in an attempt to destroy the u-boat bunker in the bay in 1944. I couldn't help but notice that the senior officer (and oldest crew member) was only one year older than me.

I haven't got any clever or deep observations to come with at this find, only that I seem to be tripping over bits of history with every step in this city. And I get the exact same jolt of surprise every time I realize all those bits of history involved real, actual people.

It's Boosterrific

Hahaha, Boosterrific.com was pretty much the last place I expected to come across an April Fools gag. Oh yeah, even the URL! This supports my theory that Booster Gold fans are beautiful people.

And now I was going to make you up to date on my Justice League-reading (which is why I was browsing Boosterrific in the first place, it's a great help in figuring out crossover events and continuity from twenty years ago), but it's later than I thought and it involves remembering who on earth were in The Conglomerate and DC continuity is a bit heavy at eleven o'clock at night when you're still coping with a sleep deficit.

To post something though, and keeping with the theme of this entry; Hey look, Booster Gold's going to feature in an upcoming episode of Smallville, portrayed by Eric Martsolf:

I've never watched a single episode of Smallville (in fact my first reaction was "Wow, Smallville? Wasn't that cancelled half a decade ago?") and I can't imagine I'll ever watch this one but HIS SUIT HAS SPONSOR PATCHES D'AWW :3
