I'm thinking of changing my name to Red Rocket. Or Rocket Red? My daughter informed me I was dumb when I told her. Out of the mouth of babes...
In other news, Nightwing's personality has returned from Batland, unfortunately the sense of humor did not improve. I was patrolling the other night, dodging the occasional Roman candle accidentally pointed at me as I awkwardly jumped from roof to roof, when suddenly a long strand of itty bitty firecrackers landed in front of me. About scared the holy living whatchamawhosit out of me (Lian's sitting next to me watching me type). I actually dived behind a smoke stack for cover. He comes out from behind another smoke stack just laughing himself sick.
"Is that pop big enough for you or do I need to resort to Napalm?"
That's the best he's got? Really? I may have to buy the man a joke book. A book of puns, something, cuz that was embarrassingly pathetic. I was almost ashamed to share the same rooftop with him.
Anyway, Lian and I are going to throw some dead things on the grill today. Ollie's dragging over the clan. Hal said he might stop by later. Winger is obviously in town so who knows who else of the Batcrew is wandering around Star City as well, if any. I foresee another possible grocery run. If Bruce Wayne shows up, I'm gonna make him do it...and pay for it. Heh heh. Then I'll hack into the store's security footage for the show later. If the man knows where mayonnaise is located I'll be shocked.
Then we'll be watching and participating in the neighborhood's cooperative fireworks display. Ollie as usual went overboard on the purchasing. I'm hoping someone knows how to set off some of what he bought. I'm fairly certain I'm fresh out of long fuses.
Happy Fourth of July to all American home and abroad!

The dog is a freakin' genius!
I'm a slacker. Wolfie said so. She'd know. *cough*slacker*cough* However, I must report that my daughter's dog is a freakin' GENIUS dog. Watch out, Ace the Bathound, Crius the Arrow Dog is going to streak your lightening...
I know, that was lame. Sue me. (And Lian named him 'the Arrow Dog'...I'm sure Ollie was involved)
He barks. I have complained of his noise before as I recall. But he doesn't just 'bark'. He woofs. And he doesn't just 'woof', he WOOFS. Like Mouse from the Dresden Files woofs...only without the magic glow and feet that make earthquakes. It scared the crap out of me and three goons trying to break into the house.
Lian has wandered off for the summer break to stay with the Santoses (I smell more Disney induced insanity in Martin's future) for a few weeks, so I took advantage of the offspring free atmosphere to have more than two beers and pass out in front of the most boring soccer game ever. I hear glass break and get up, only to have my eardrums ruptured by Crius barking. Even better! He's got ALL THREE of the housebreakers squashed against the wall with his mammoth-sized body and was barking at me to get my butt up and help!
I love our dog. I don't know what he is other than canine, but I love our dog.
How does the texting work? Roy <3 Crius?
I told Nightwing I'm going to train Crius to be my sidekick. Winger was unamused...not unusual these days. Robins version C and E (I refuse to acknowledge the whole Red Robin nonsense...yummm) laughed their butts off and even Bats cracked a teeny tiny smile. I think ol' Bats is mellowing in his old age.
So I think I'm going to further enjoy an offspring free house tomorrow and repaint Lian's bedroom a less lurid shade of pink. I feel like I'm walking into a Vegas bordello everytime I tuck her in at night. Maybe something more light burgundy than Barbie (Mia's words not mine).
