For a variety of reasons, I've been hesitant to post about this -- but if you've seen me in the past month or so, it's been reasonably obvious: Z. and I are expecting a baby, come mid-September. (It could have been "too many cookies," as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yahtzee63 suggested, but when two people on NJ Transit tried to give me their seats, I thought maybe it was clearer. But since then not a single person has offered like treatment on the DC Metro, which either throws the obviousness of my status into doubt or revises my beliefs about the relative friendliness of DC folks vs. New Yorkers.) Anyhow, Z. likes to call him "Shemp" or "Django"; I just roll my eyes. I wanted "Rivkid" to work, but it just doesn't.
I don't expect the journal content to change much -- though frequency of posting may eventually drop further! But I'm still thinking book reviews and fanfic as my general subjects. I may do a post of pregnancy books I found useful, and not so useful. And speaking of fanfic, help a girl out: If Superman were a spy, what sort of covert missions would be good? I want stuff that uses his unique talents while still staying covert, which is to say that punching holes in walls should not be a mission priority.

fanfic-related: I'd user Superman as a low-flying, high-speed reconnaissance vehicle. He has photographic memory, can fly pretty much anywhere, has a small radar profile (I suppose; and maybe an angled armor or something would also help), he see through most substances (although everybody would start lining their bunkers with lead, of course), and it'd be really, really hard to shot him over Russia or something like that.
As an operative, I don't know. His speed, vision and invulnerability are certainly assets (and would make him impervious to all attacks unless very well prepared), but staying under cover severely limits what he can do (Bruce would be a better choice - he can tone down his skill and fight "kind of" well, while Superman "kind of" flying doesn't help him squat). And you don't want agents that can be made by the most routine X-ray machine or physical check.
*If* you write a ruthless, deadly Clark, then... Maybe. He'd be the perfect assasin, with nearly innumerable ways of killing a person, specially if he's willing to also kill witnesses and collaterals.
That's a scary thought, come to think of it.
