The Wheel and Axle

Maritess will never, ever grow old. And with Justice League coming out later this year, it’s just but awesome for me to dig this out of YouTube – oh, and for the record, I first saw this years before YouTube ever even existed.

Go, go, Maritess! Happy Friday, everyone.

Here’s a little pick-me-up if you’re feeling down this week.

Just remember: there will be people there for you, and just be who you want to be.

Be beautiful.

It’s the big four-oh today, but cliched as it may sound, it does seem that it feels like the new thirty. It’s the age of continuous exploration for me, and it does feel that life just does begin at forty.

I’ve learned in the past couple of years to truly make the most of life. Always.

Never keep life bottled in, or you may live to regret life itself, and who wants that?

As long as it makes you happy and you’re hurting no one, be who you want to be and do what you want to do with your life.

Life is what you make of it.

Hey, Anderson, babe, it’s been said the Philippines is a Latin American country in Asia.

Call me.

Today is the 52nd birthday of the Goddess of the Potterverse and Queen of Twitter, she who regularly puts the likes of Orange Hitler and Piers Morgan in their proper place with zingers so sharp they’ll bleed until the year 3243.

But of course, J.K. Rowling’s talents go way beyond decimating man-child trolls. She has earned her place in pop culture as well as literature with, who else, Harry Potter and his magical world. She is one awesome and tough lady, deserving of a lot of respectful roars in honorable salute!

Happy birthday, J.K.!

Legends of Tomorrow is really shaping up to be a personal fave of mine in the Arrowverse. It’s just plain fun, doesn’t take itself seriously, and they’re not afraid to dig deep into the most obscure recesses of the DC Universe for some truly out there character choices.

I mean, Season 3’s sizzle reel not only has a Titanic in-joke involving Victor Garber. It also has a B’wana Beast easter egg. Well, hopefully, it’s not just an easter egg because he looks hot.

Talk about sizzling.

Green Day was taking so long, so 65,000 people sang Queen while waiting.

And it’s just magical.

Here are some international good vibes today for the weekend ahead: American choir boys flying from Kenya on a United Arab Emirates plane and singing a Filipino classic.

Happy weekend, peeps!

I’d previously noted how the creator of Wonder Woman, Dr. William Moulton Marston, was a man ahead of his time with his progressive sexual politics in early/mid 20th century America. He was part of a polyamorous relationship with his wife Elizbeth and another woman, Olive. He had strong opinions about the value of women, S&M/bondage, loving submissiveness, and other radical ideas of the time. All of these informed his creation of Wonder Woman and the stories he wrote for her comic.

Can this couple be any more adorable?

Also, there’s really just something cute (and sexy) when a gorgeous foreigner speaks in Tagalog with a funny accent. I have no idea why. It just… is.
