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.

Thinking in terms of what Superman could do, he's almost like a Swiss Army Knife. The guy could do some serious multitasking.
He's got heat vision, which is useful for minor destruction and/or sodering/welding things together. He's got X-Ray vision, useful for finding things(cameras, listening devices, weapons, etc) being carried around sneakily by other people. He's got the ability to hear things other people could not, so his ability to gather information covertly would be pretty high. He's got enhanced speed, which means he could find it easier to escape undetected or move around quickly to cover his tracks if necessary. His invulnerability would make him very difficult to torture for information, and his enhanced strength could make it very difficult to hold him somewhere. I think he'd make a great spy if somebody trained him well and got him into the appropriate mindset.
