Wow. The characters in Heroes were as stupid as the science in Fringe was asspully last week. I fear for my brain this season, since my remote finger is broken.
Mal: We're still flying. Simon: That's not much. Mal: It's enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I didn't watch Heroes, so it's hard to say for sure, but I think I'd rather have asspully science than stupid characters.

I kinda couldn't watch it. I watched bits and pieces.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
So, the attack in Jerusalem last night? Not terror attack.
It was a 19 year old stupid, selfish) kid with a broken heart. Because running over people is the thing to do after a girl says "no" to you.
19 people injured in this craziness. Not sure if all of them recover.
I hope at least that will shut up the "ruin the house of the one who did it" choir.
I don't like the world so much sometimes.

Ack, Shir, that's awful!
Nilly, have a wonderful Hippo Birdies of a day, K?
I have an interview this morning (yay!) but it's with a bottom-feeding recruiter firm (boo!) that trolls Monster.com for tyro programmers that it can place in less than glamorous jobs (boo!). OTOH -- me, tyro programmer trying to move over to .NET and web dev in general. So I may be able to use them. At least I've got my eyes open.

Happy Birthday to Nilly!
May the interview be better than expected, Theo.
