Oh right! I may have read about that.
So was the author of the article confused?
Or are you putting me on?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm totally making a joke. About the Prison Break part.
I think I forgot the 1000 cranes thing actually happened on Heroes. Who was the character? Was it Hiro?

Yeah, Hiro did it for Charlie.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Huh? What are they for?
I imagine Liese is referring to the story of Sadako and the thousand origami cranes. She was a teenager in Japan who developed leukemia from the radiation poisoning after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. She started folding paper cranes because of the old Japanese saying about thousand cranes = granting of a wish, and she desperately wanted to get well. She died before she completed the thousand and her friends did the rest. [link]

Our wings are not tired.
I was unfamiliar with the story of Sadako Sasaki. (not that I was intending to send origami to the Heroes bigwigs or anything) I will now look at paper cranes in a new light.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
The short kids' book by Eleanor Coerr about Sadako is excellent. I remember reading it in elementary school and being moved.

Yeah, I remember reading the book in elementary school, too. It was a whole "introduce kids to the atomic bomb" fun.
But....WTF are the people sending them to the writers hoping for? Hiro goes back in time again and gets the girl??

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

My favorite was "Danny Dunn: Nuclear Terrorist"

It's related to the strike. They're wishing us good luck in getting a fair contract quickly.
I think.
Yeah, Hiro did it for Charlie.
And thank you. I seem to have completely blocked that out.

At work today, as we were coming out of a Production Meeting, The Master Electrician and I were stopped cold in our tracks, as Alan Blumenfeld (aka Maury Parkman) walked in the door. Seems he's starting rehearsal today on our next production. Despite working in the biz for how many years, it's amazing how stupid fan-struck we can be. Thankfully neither of us were like "ooo your Matts dad in Heroes" or some such. Very polite and professional. whew. Of course, it didn't help that sitting through the Production Meeting, I was all but staring at the Set Designer thinking, "he looks a lot like Sylar".
