Yeah. See, parking regulations are lifted this weekend. You don't need a pass. Because there will be thousands of people partying in the streets. And they all need a parking space.

Pride is much more fun when you have a reserved parking space.

Well that pretty much seals it, then.

I have no pride.

I actually like Barrel Bear more after seeing it a couple times. If I could chuck one, it'd be Totem Mole. Cocktail Bunny, Crime Dog and the finale are my favorites.

I really like Lovesick Ass -- a lot -- but I found it was the most predictable of all the episodes. With most of them, you have no clue where it's going at the halfway point, but many of the jokes in that one had been done quite a few times and you could guess what was coming next. Excellent dialogue, though.

I'm a whore for great dialogue. I don't so much care about knowing where the destination is, (which may explain why I'm perpetually lost) unless the entire premise is suspense.

It's all sort of like a roadtrip with very funny and cool people who make you feel comfortable in your skin. You know where you're going but the traveling is the best part.

Good dialogue does that.

AICN is advertising the thing tonight. Does that mean the people who post on their message boards will be there?

Herc also calls Tim a mammoth slacker. This explains why Tim has not been around much. We've lost him to the ivory trade. He did have such pretty tusks.

Oh Sweet Jeebus God, no. If so bring a few cans of Red Bull and some peanut butter cups to throw as a distraction if they start towards you.

I think they're afraid of girls. I've no worries.

But that's just because they've had no prior exposure. What if one got fiesty?

I assume this means asking me for the time and then wetting his pants.

So I read Moon is a Harsh Mistress this past week as well.

Everything that Allyson, Nutty, and Rick said: WROD. Wrod to the max. Oy.

I think if you strip out all the didactic discussions about revolutionary theory, and the appalling gender relations, and the 2D bimbettes and maternal ideals who make up the female characters, and the political theory, you might possibly have a framework on which to hang a story.

But my god! There was almost no action in the novel. It was all secondhand action, all tell, no show. "Then we had girls start teasing the guards, and the guards got grumpy so the Warden sent out more guards--" ad nauseum. Nobody developed, nobody changed, nobody had second thoughts: all the leads were perfect and right, and if hundreds of thousands of people died for their mistakes, well none of that was their fault after all. Everything was so black and white, with this little cabal (oh that word) making all the decisions for the sheep who can't think for themselves. Bleah.

t shudders and goes off too read Robert Graves to cleanse my palate

Oddly enough, I remember rather liking Moon as a teen. Clearly my tastes have changed.
