Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

J is a superhero and he may need a cape for the day, ijs.

No Capes! t /Edna voice

Is anybody else getting a visual on Superman's cape getting caught in the turbine of a jet engine like in Enda's No Capes!montage, but the plane gets seriously fucked up instead of Supe?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Wow- I am glad J did the Heimlich!

Does anyone watch Copper? Is it a "cable drama?" The theme song sounds like Rizzoli and Isles theme song to me!

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

Because I'm impatient I made both a steel cut recipe on the tin and the Alton Brown one. Decided to have Alton's for brekkie this morning and FUCK. I forgot how much I love this. I'd meant to toss in fruit, but who cares? I have oats to snorfle!

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

From what I read, the conceit for Tonto in the film is that he's become unbalanced by what's happened to Native Americans and has sort of become the stereotype. because of this, heis an outcast from his tribe. The other Native Ameicans are portrayed as intelligent, non-stereotyped, etc.

I'm not sure this will work, but...

I am NOW. Though I imagine that happens to the plane even if a non-invulnerable person gets sucked into the turbine, if planes have gone down because of 12 lb. geese.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I've been meaning to link to this for a week or so - a radio program on my local npr station on depression. The bits I heard were interesting [link]

My brain is totally using cartoon physics for this one. And Supe being Supe, he does manage to catch the body of the plane before it reaches terminal velocity. But it's still pretty bad.

Scrappy, I don't believe there's any reason that has to make sense, but what is the reason for it being in the story period? They couldn't just write him not-weird and go from there? Anyone unduly attached to the original Tonto is 98% likely an asshole and can be ignored from here on in. Not pandered to by someone professing respect (and kinship) who can't tell the foreground of a painting from the background.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not once they cast current Johnny Depp.
