Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Slothpital! That's awesome.

I've been lurky lately. I posted a lot in my head, though, so there's that. Whoever posted the Harry Potter/Clobert fic link - love!

I've been in my new digs for a month, and it still looks like an explosion happened in my bedroom. Today is dedicated to helping fix that.

Oh, and I have Yaktrax, sumi - they've worked well for me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Only working a half-day today as my Bro is in town! Since he lives in Europe, I only ever tend to see him at funerals and other events, which sucks--although we do have quite a lively email correspondence. He was on a business trip to Hawaii and arranged a 24-hour layover here. He has never seen our house or anything, so yay!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ooh, the puppies have a new bed!

Liese being snowed in has me earwormed by a song called "Snowed In." We had what was supposed to be a snowstorm yesterday, but it was just a prolonged snowfall that didn't accumulate much, nor become much of a snow fall.

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

What is the reason behind people from Country A sometimes not being able to watch video content from Countries B-Z?

Broadcast rights.

Parochialism.

Jingoism.

Feudalism.

Man, I'm having a bitch of a headache today.

countries B-Z are selfish bastards.

but mostly, it's about money. If, for example, you can't watch Torchwood in the US, you might buy the DVDs. Or it will increase the value of ad revenue when it is broadcast in the US .
