Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's funny -- I was watching Torso and thinking Kate Beckinsale when I should have been thinking Kathleen Robertson. When I realised it wasn't Kate, I really couldn't work out why I couldn't work out who the actress was, why I couldn't get past the name Emma Caulfield. Then I read her IMDB entry and understood. The brain is an annoying thing, sometimes.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

What about "Origin Belief" instead of "Origin Myth?"

I'm going to suggest 'origin narrative'. Just because I like 'narrative'.

And you know what? The FUCKING GOVERNMENT SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT!

There should be a study. Maybe a grant of some kind.

I think Kristen would look fabulous with hair just a little more copper red than mine is right now. Well, actually, I think she looks fabulous anyway, but you know what I mean.

Well, yes. Of course, I'm pretty much always on board with the red.

What is even happening?

Is this because she was in Psycho Beach Party?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When I realised it wasn't Kate, I really couldn't work out why I couldn't work out who the actress was, why I couldn't get past the name Emma Caulfield. Then I read her IMDB entry and understood. The brain is an annoying thing, sometimes.

Like when I was watching the Blossom Inside Story, and kept waiting for them to say her boyfriend turned out to be gay. Um, no. Right actor, wrong part.

Ugh, I couldn't stand her on 90210. On Buffy, however, she redeemed herself.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The streets were underwater, and in fairness, no one could know the scope of the disaster it has become; no one knew how many people stayed. The desperation and the widespread anarchy seems to have arisen within the last 24 hours.

They knew a category 5 storm was going to hit SOMEWHERE on the gulf coast. And that people would be cut off from basic needs like water. There are people dying of dehydration and exposure. Tens, hundreds, maybe thousands of them.

Oh, and since the invasion of Iraq and subsequent war were based or false and quite possibly flat out fraudulent information, and that war sucked funding from levy maintenance, yes, I do blame the White House for the scope of this.

In the almighty revenge on Saddam Hussein we've let Bin Laden go, turned Iraq into a hotbed of fundimentalists and terrorists, sent a bunch of weekend warriors to the front lines and extended their enlistments repeatedly, and now we're watching babies die of dehydration two miles from our last F2F.
