Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm glad that Hayden Panettiere's character follows in the great super hero tradition of super-outfits, anyway. Sweet how she made her cheerleader uniform not burn.

Heroes:

OK, all the people staring directly at a solar eclipse is bugging me.

The stuff in Japan made me laugh, anyway.

Yeah, that's been cracking me up.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, I'm glad someone else saw it, brenda. So exciting!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

If possible, can you all email me at Allyson000 at aol dot com? I'm trying to figure out what the hell is up with my email/filters/whatzadoodles.

For the record? When experiencing a solar eclipse, you don't see a line of shadow move across the ground in front of you. It just gets dimmer and dimmer and dimmer with the crescents in pinhole shadows (like from a shade tree) getting gradually thinner until at totality, it's this weird undefined, shadowless glow. The stars come out, the sky is eerily nothing. It isn't black, it isn't twilight blue, it is nothing you've ever seen. It's almost uniform except very very close to the sun. A coolness comes over the air and the birds and bugs chirp both their morning and evening song in confusion.

I now know why it used to invoke doom and gods. What but the gods could do that? (and I say that as an unbeliever.)

I watched my first total solar eclipse with rural tribepeople in the boonies outside of Lusaka. We were all silent in awe, scientist and wee local child.

Done.

Art Crawl!!!

I like the Japanese Salaryman stuff. I like it so far. It just strikes me as a really weird pairing with Studio 60. What comes before it?
