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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Holy shit! Did anyone else catch last night's Colbert where he may or may not have officiated a wedding (Dog, I hope it was real)? Having Mandy Patinkin come out to sing a traditional Jewish wedding song was great, but the opera singer (or whatever she was - it sounded operatic to me) doing "White Wedding" for the first dance; I think I hurt something laughing. It was both beautiful and hilarious - worth the eventual pain (I hope - catching up a night later - I'll find out tomorrow).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just posted that in Natter! Colbert is the best.

And yes, Audra McDonald is an opera singer, although she mostly makes her living on Broadway.

That wasn't specifically a wedding song -- it's a prayer that's said whenever something new is starting. Weddings, but also the first day of any holiday, or seeing a friend you haven't seen in a while, and some people will say it for any sort of exciting thing that doesn't happen too often.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Woe to the fucking wicked.

In my Into the Woods movie dream cast, she plays The Witch.

She's in concert here in a couple of weeks. Yes, I have my ticket.

Whoops, just guessing from the context. But seriously, Colbert's rolodex of possible contributers is beating Joss' by a mile. The people he's gotten to do siily shit on his show is just amazing.

Also, after the Vince Gilligan interview (plus bonus material), I realized who I thought was John Hodgman.
