distracting my performance jitters with nerd-rage

[thehefner]

I'm sure none of you are wondering, "Gee, Heffie, could there ever be a Two-Face action figure so lame and stupid that even a hardcore Harvey Dent obsessive like you wouldn't ever buy it?"

Why yes, all of you who weren't asking that question. Yes there is. Of course, the Jason Todd figure ain't much better, and I'm still not feeling the stripes on the new Batgirl costume. Also, the new Azrael gets a figure? Already? Really?

Don't mind me, I'm on edge with this being the first night of the Vancouver Fringe Festival. We're both feeling really stressed about this one, for a number of reasons. Me, much of it is just being thrust back into the cliquey and somewhat-elitist nature of the Canadian circuit. One of the great things about Indy Fringe was the feeling of being on more or less equal footing with all the other performers. Now, I'm back amid the rockstars.

Hopefully henchgirl will get even more stressed and worried than I am. She has spider-sense, you see. The more she paces and needs to smoke a whole pack of cigarettes, the better the show goes. I can't explain it. Either she senses the audience, or more likely she acts as my neurosis sponge, leaving me to concentrate on having a great show.

Between the two of us, she may be dead of a massive exploding ulcer by tonight. I will weep for henchgirl. And then I will start accepting applications for new henchpersons, preferably of the girl persuasion, for my 2010 tour.

Sorry, sorry, li'l joke. I have to distract myself with either humor, or more geek-driven facepalm and rage. I mean, seriously, DC Comics, what the hell are IS this crap?!

Yeah, they do really make her hips look big, don't they? What were they thinking!

If my graduation plans work out, I will apply.

Oh man, we'll totally have to get costumes made and everything!

I like the new Batgirl outfit. Then again, I'm a bit of a sucker for purpleeggplant and similar shades.

Just the location listed on your journal entry makes me feel a bit nostalgic. Get some Uncle Fatty's and think of meeeeee! There are no truly good dollar slice places here in Montreal. I've found one passable one nearish to Concordia. WHERE IS A LADY SUPPOSED TO GET HER ESSENTIAL GREASES. WHERE.

Okay, I'm done.

We got eight different slices, all amazing. So going back. We really need all the cheap, awesome food we can get if we want to sav money and not eat on Granville Island all the time!

And hey, surely poutine can provide those greases, eh?

C'mon man why don't you want Bat-Lecter?

(I'll go with you if you pay for snacks.)

New Azrael... wait, what?

Sending you tons of positive energy! Break a leg, m'dear! *hugs*

You have awesome taste in music, sir. I just needed to say that, because there is too little love for the original cast of that show. TOO LITTLE. Angela Lansbury > Helena by a factor of over ten thousand.

Two-Face+Batsuit=Batshit.
New Azrael? Next: New Doomsday?
The '90s gave us a lot of great comic book moments...NONE of which featured Doomsday or Azrael, as much as Jenette Kahn and Mike Carlin and Denny O'Neil may wish differently.

Since I'm here via the henchgirl's link, I'll just say I hope she does not die of an exploding ulcer.

I wouldn't be of any use as her replacement anyway as I have zero theatrical skills.
