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".

Oh, OK. For some reason the mention of Hiro and Charlie and "used in a fannish way" made me think it was some kind of "Nooooo, don't break them up" craziness.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I keep thinking I have to watch the new Heroes when I get home. Damn you AMPT to the MFP!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
In their defense (why??), there wouldn't be a new Heroes tonight regardless. It's the winter hiatus.
