Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Tonight - on a very special episode of Home Improvement....

Well, at least we'll get the right answer from the infinite wisdom of Wilson. Ugh, I just admitted I know the plot of a Home Improvement episode, okay, that's the plot of every Home Improvement episode, but still.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh crap. aurelia just reminded me that there will be endless "Ripped From The Headlines" dramatizations to soon arrive. Feh.

Yep, and Law & Order can do it 4 or 5 times.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Weren't you an alien?

I was. I was a wee pointy-eared green chick with red hair and glasses and a black coat. You will note that it was a very true portrait.

You wear glasses?

Be warned, you will lose lots and lots and lots of time here.

And I'm currently trying to decide if I want to order a second one.

You do. There were still some left as of this morning, when I checked.

You're right, I do. Off to eBay!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes, this is true but I'd honestly rather get the message through a sappy episode of ER than from what should've been one family's personal (and private) tragedy. Once the family brought the courts into it, it became news but it didn't have to become spectacle.

This. Except it'd have to be Scrubs, since I don't watch ER. (I'd say House, but on that show she'd make a full recovery in the last act after House gives her an aspirin.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

A scary but interesing column about America's drift toward a fascist theocracy--it might be a bit extreme, but it's definitely something to think about.

R. Crumb said the current trend reminded him of McCarthyism which is I think probably more accurate. Certainly there's a similarity in stifling dissent by labeling it unpatriotic. Though as Betsy's longtime tagline ("We have always been at war with EastAsia.") pointed out, the permanent state of war on terrorism is a splendid door for fascism.

Always Anti-fascist!

This *was* fucking L&O. Except without Lennie...man, I missed him, too.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Anyone see last night's South Park? I'm definitely going to check it out when it's rerun this weekend--it mixes the Sony PSP and the Schiavo case in one very crass, but according to Salon, hilarious ep.

People need to stop sending me work. Don't they know I have some very important slacking off to do?
