Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS FOR THIS APPLICANT.

Can one of them be "Bust a move"? Only in the form of a question?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I would totes eat the pumpkin bread of my nemesis. Because pumpkin bread!

I would eat EXTRA pumpkin bread and enjoy it thoroughly, thereby foiling his or her nemesiezing.

Ms Belle, have you tried a ticking clock in the crate? Do they still MAKE ticking clocks?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

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

I am going to count not crying in the supermarket where anyone can see me as the meagre win it is, and call outside finished for a while.

Next mountain to climb is eating. The degree to which I don't want to do that is both massive and dramatic.

I wonder why NBC didn't go with Mockingbird Lane. I thought fantasy was sufficiently mainstream with the back alley success of Vampire Diaries & Teen Wolf and the front line OUAT and Grimm that they wouldn't second guess that call. It was an okay pilot. I didn't love it, but there are plenty of shows not cancelled before they air that I think are worse done.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Sheesh, ita !, that's miserable. Did you eat?

I ended up snarfing two meatballs, because in my head, somehow I thought I was going to have time to cook this weekend, but with events not letting out until 9:30, an hour from my house, yeah, not so much. Gonna have to figure out something better tomorrow.

I'm sure there are worse pilots than Mockingbird Lane - but, no real comedy, not very frightening horror, no real suspense. Awful pacing which may be what distinguished it from other pilots. Quite often shows that are worse written than ML have good direction and pacing.

Of interest to some Buffistas. Rebecca Johnson (no I don't know her ) teaches her kids a simple test to identify passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb it is passive voice.

I love that "by zombies" test.
