Consensual Cereal

          After waking up in the late afternoon, I ran around and cleaned everything in the apartment, as I am wont to do at random times. Sean and I played an enormous amount of Civ IV and watched an equal volume of JLA, including an episode with this little gem of dialogue:

Brainiac: "You used me."

Darkseid: "It's what I do."

          JLA is delightful, if predictable. Its mindlessness lends it to background watching during other activities, and the fight scenes are so telegraphed that after watching a few episodes, one can typically predict what will happen before it does. Plus, the good guys mostly always win in a garishly over-the-top, 'MURICA sort of way, which makes it useful for improving one's mood when the main activity is a drag (see: losing in Civ IV.)
