I've had Soon I Will Be Invincible pimped to me as awesome, but I haven't read it yet.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

May you continue pain free, ita. The next time I take a cab I'm going to give a bigger than usual tip to the driver.

I've read it, Lee. I really liked it, but I got through it in a few hours, so it's not the deepest piece of literary work ever written. It is fun though, and has some great characterisation, especially if you read comics, though its a bit too pleased with all its comics meta.

Oh good. I thought it had moved already, but I didn't want to go in to see if I was right, because that would defeat the purpose.
I guess I shall see if the library here has the book.

Speaking of superheroes, I should tell all you Chicagoistas about the play I went to on Tuesday: Men of Steel. There were Norwegian ninjas! Boykissing! Some of the most hilarious fight choreography I've ever seen!
Need moar caffeine first, though.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
We watched DSM last night. Soapy dramas aren't so much my thing, but if it continues to be funny, I will watch sporadically. The first couple scenes turned me off, but then they made it back with some good stuff, like the sequence with the ring tones ending with the yacht. Also, the priest is a lot more bearable if you think of him as GOB.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did anyone watch Cane?
Don't let it be said that TV isn't informative. I had no idea until hearing the premise from the show that the US had a sizable sugar cane industry. For some reason I thought it was all about the beet sugar.
bon, have you watched Damages at all? Sparky? Lee? Vortex? They're spending a lot of slow time inside a law firm, and I was wondering how they were handling it. Of course, if you cast Glenn Close you're hardly going to be spending time with fuzzy humanitarianism, but even as an outlier...
Plus Tate Donovan is no longer playing Worst Dad Ever (can't you just see HRG and SpyDaddy hauling him off and beating the snot out of him?).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Shrift, which space is that show in? Is it the one straight ahead from the lobby doors?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Damn, I don't think I realized that was what Cane was about. My father grew up in Hawaii's cane sugar industry. They used to run around the fields and play in the flumes and chew on the raw sugar cane. From the looks of the pr material, it isn't intended to be a nostalgic romp, but I might have tuned in if I'd paid any attention. Other than Colbert cracking himself up at the ads.

It's supposed to be Dallas but with cane instead of oil. I heard things like the family conflict (I suspect Smits is playing JR, but hot) is between sugar and versus production.
