rivkat: Martha: when you're good to mama, mama's good to you (good to mama)
([personal profile] rivkat Jun. 14th, 2005 12:00 am)
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] 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.

Secret Identity was one of my favorite (no-longer-so-recent) purchases. I will review it eventually when I stop being daunted by the huge stack of graphic novels by my desk. I haven't enjoyed the rest of Busiek's stuff nearly as much, unfortunately.

And I adore Supreme Power. (See icon.)

The sound barrier has always struck me as problematic. In SV they even have Clark kick up a big wind, but only once, for dramatic purposes (in the underground bunker with Lex & Dr. Tang), and never when he's speeding away from Chloe etc. It's inconsistent and annoying, and I agree that the whoosh factor would be far from covert.
