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.

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.

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

Jeez, Allyson -- doesn't your publisher have a marketing department? Isn't all that what they get paid to do?
Consuela, if the books I read on how to get published are not shitting me -not so much.
These days publishers pretty much make writers do most of the promotion - at least for most first time authors. They strongly suggest that if you get as far as being able asked for a book proposal to submit a marketing plan with it. This is one of the reasons agents are so wonderful - aside from letting the publisher know the work has been prescreened they do a lot of the stuff editors used to do. If Allyson is being asked to submit suggestions for getting on Oprah from her publisher I would consider it a very good sign. Even if it is a routine form all authors get asked to fill out, it is a good sign that Allyson's publisher, or branch of a publishing mega-corp, is high enough on the food chain for Oprah questions to be on a routine form.

TAR: That non ending was so unsatisfying.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, see, I love the continuing legs. Because they totally fuck with the team's headspaces, and that makes the race interesting.
I do wish that people would READ THE DAMN CLUE before volunteering for Roadblocks, though. The hint says "Take the plunge" and you are STANDING NEXT TO A SWIMMING POOL. Think, people, think!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
AND I was all excited that the teams were getting all moved around order-wise, but the jackholes were still first?!?

Ah, but that's the beauty of an extra-long leg! Anything could happen! Lake's car could explode for no reason!

Please let that happen.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes, please. I thought that the continuation episode was particularly cruel this time . .. cruel for ME. That is. I can't believe the numbers of people who think that TAR is a good place to learn to overcome your fears.

TAR: Well, I knew something was up when it was 9:55 and nobody had checked into the "pitstop" yet! I liked the TBC ep this time around, because it looks like they're off to Germany next, and seeing them cram in two rather distant countries with no 12-hour break in between will more than likely cause some Killer Fatigue, which is usually good TV (remember Millie and Chuck?). Also loved the Pinks reaction to Lori and Dave, "How can you both be so relaxed?!" The secret to Team Geek Love's success, I think.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was weak and read the TAR whitefont. I like the TBC endings too. Yay.
I got made an alternate on a trial that might last until the end of next week. Boo.
