Willow ,'Empty Places'
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.
I'm down with the handwaviness.
And besides, I've decided the 'prequels' are unrelated fever dreams, spawned after George half recovered from some sort of brain tumor.
Hey! If HE can make up a whole universe, so can I.
eta: I am, of course, responding to the SW talk here.
The Star Wars white font is cracking me up too.
In OSWN, the Darth Vader Dark chocolate peanut M&Ms are much prettier than the Jedi Milk Chocolate plain M&Ms.
Also, Jack and Bobby had me crying all the way through. Jack's problem, Bobby's problem, Missy's problem. Missy's ogrey dad. Also, the promo - - they aren't killing off JACK already? In a car accident???? That would just not be right.

the bad guys are always prettier.
Well, the normal plain M&Ms are prettier than the special Jedi ones.

Ten Mistakes Writers Don't See (But Can Easily Fix When They Do)
So the following is a list I'll be referring to people *before* they submit anything in writing to anybody (me, agent, publisher, your mom, your boss). From email messages and front-page news in the New York Times to published books and magazine articles, the 10 ouchies listed here crop up everywhere. They're so pernicious that even respected Internet columnists are not immune.
The list also could be called, "10 COMMON PROBLEMS THAT DISMISS YOU AS AN AMATEUR," because these mistakes are obvious to literary agents and editors, who may start wording their decline letter by page 5. What a tragedy that would be.

Hooray for copyeditors! Enough About Me #8: In Which the Author Hands in His Copyedited Manuscript and Pays Tribute to the Most Unheralded Job in Publishing
Well, the normal plain M&Ms are prettier than the special Jedi ones.
That's what happens when Jedi are not allowed relationships....
Hey, folks? What piece of primary source material from the American Revolution do you think would be most useful for a class learning how to interpret historical information? I'm thinking, speeches, Acts, historical accounts -- anyone have a specific suggestion?
And I also have a question.
I have a vague idea that there's a study or a scale out there...something that measures the livability of various cities, not just in terms of economic criteria, but things like, is there a thriving arts scene? Does the city support a symphony?
Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or where I can find it on the web?
Is it too much to ask of Lucas to release the ORIGINAL versions on DVD??? The bastard needs to loosen up. I need my nostalgia on DVD, dammit.
Even when they're in the location they're portraying, meta considerations often fuck with the geography
Was I ever shocked on Angel, The House Always Wins, to find out that leaving the Tropicana gets you to Freemont Street without a cab ride through Cracktown.
