Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Congratulations to the flea family!

Which reminds me that I really need to finish putting up the pictures from my August jaunt to Boston, because there are a few really lovely pictures of all the fleas.

I used to love Les Brandt on Another World...

Well, now I guess you can love him in a whole new way...

Congratulations to the fleas! And, while I'm at it, to Cashmere and DH. Second children are wonderful.

There is a rumor that the miners who died gave their oxygen to the miner who survived because he was younger and had small children.

I first saw that rumor in a statement from... the survivor's father, I think? He said that he had absolutely no evidence, but that he wouldn't be surprised if that had happened. I suspect that's still the case.

TV president Martin Sheen tugged at America's heartstrings on Sunday night when he paid a personal tribute to late The West Wing co-star John Spencer at the beginning of the new season of the political drama.

Dang. I'm going to have to work out my differences with BitTorrent and see if I can nab that.

I'm a firm believer in BitTornado. I've tried other clients and always come back.
