spikeysgrl18My mom is awesome. Why? Because she totally hooked me up with cool stuff this week. I've been a bit strapped for cash to say the least after this summer. So yesterday she was running errands and when she got home she had a nifty copy of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman for me. Yay :) Plus today she and my aunt went to the state fair, I didn't go mostly because I sort of loathe the fair. Too many people, everything is so expensive, and I'm a big wuss so I can't stand most of the rides. Anyway, turns out they had a whole superhero exhibit thing going on, cool no?
So she comes home and ends up bringing me a collectible Superman poster and stamp set that the Post Office was selling now that they debuted the new superhero stamps that they are only selling at the fair and conventions. Then she gives me a classic edition Lex Luthor action figure, complete with little mind control headset which is just sort of awesome. *And* to top that off she bought me this big talking Superman action figure. I feel like a complete dork considering I'm in my twenties and am so excited about toys but...*squee!*.
The people at the booth were saying that turns out that most of the people buying the Superman stuff were older because kids just weren't familiar with him. I have a hard time fathoming that someone could *not* know about freaking Superman, but this is a crazy world we live in. Now I just have to wait for Smallville season 5 to come out in a couple weeks and I will be complete :)

I can't believe that with all the toys and cartoons kids don't know who Superman is, either.
