Why aren’t there any great shows about all-powerful supernatural women on TV right now? For me it all started with Wonder Woman, but more recently I got to watch Buffy and then Charmed. And now? Nothing. I really miss vicariously kicking bootie.
But while we are on the subject of amazing women, I went to go see Lois Lowry speak the other night. (She doesn’t actually have super powers unless you count writing 34 books in 3o years including two Newbery award winners and the hysterical books about Anastasia Krupnik! Which I do.) She was funny and inspiring, and I hope I can be her when I grow up. Or at least some reasonable facsimile!
Right now my only superpower is bionic procrastination. I can make the whole day disappear in, like, the blink of an eye. Just call me Slacker Girl. I have a great idea for a costume too, I just don’t think I’ll ever get around to making it.
If you were a superhero, who would you be?

Hey, thanks for the shout out and the link!
But I have to say, if you are Slacker Girl, there must be a definition of Slacker that I don’t understand.
I’m pretty sure a person who raises three kids, snags an agent, sells two amazing novels, and writes faster than her critique group can say “Hotsie Totsie of Tomorrow” is NOT a slacker. No way. You are Super Writer! Or Mighty Writer! Or Wonder Writer!
You go, girl!
Ha! Thanks, Brenda. But I think if you saw the amount of laundry waiting to be washed in my house, you’d think slacker was actually a generous term. 🙂

What were the names of the two TV superheroines that were on the Wonder Bug TV show?
One started with a
W and the other started with a J.

Pshaw, Buffy. Xena pre-dates Buffy by nearly 3 years.
