Ple, Slate reviews the NewsRadio box set.
Aww. Man, I loved that show so much. I wonder if the box set has a better transfer than the DVDs we already own (it's the worst-looking DVD on our HD set by a lot).
I even have occasional nostalgia for the ill-fated 5th season.
The space station episode of NewsRadio was one of the all time WTF gambits in sitcom history.
Do you know your emotions? The Elevation to Disgust spectrum.
Sorry to be all Slate dump-y. But you should all check out the Pervert's Grand Tour of Europe too. (This section is actually only about Venice and Casanova but it's very interesting.)

The news report! The news report about the attack on the empire! SO FUCKING FUNNY.
Salon's piece on the epic fail of the publishing industry just scared the bejeesus out of me.
I'm spending my xmas vacation time rewriting. Why? It's weighing heavy on my pipe-dream of becoming a best-selling author before I die.

Eh, it was okay. Had some interesting points, but there's a lot of utter bullshit in there, like this:
"A lot of good writers will be losing their editors, and loyalty is very important in this field."
Loyalty means dick in this field. The minute a writer becomes extraneous or doesn't fit the model the imprint wishes to follow, they're shown the door. The same holds true for editors and publishers. Everyone is expendable.
I forget - does Hello Kitty go here, or in Bitches?

Hello Kitty Robo can help you to stay with your child to keep them from being lonely.
Emphasis mine.
What does Hello Kitty's voice sound like?
I didn't know that Hello Kitty had a voice.
Heck, I didn't know she had a
mouth.
What else doesn't she have?
Who is she working for??!!
Sorry, I'll never get over my Hello Kitty dread.
I've only ever known it as cilantro. And actually didn't know it existed as a dried ingredient until I went to college.
It's an American thing. In Australia, for instance, there's fresh coriander, dried coriander, chopped coriander, ground coriander, coriander seeds, but it's all coriander.
FTR, it's just the leaves I can't stand. No problem with the seeds.
