Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I guess my computer really thought I needed to be told.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Great idea, Jesse. Now that I'm more mobile, that could work.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't know, Dana, I think you might need it. You probably shouldn't listen to me, though, I am unreliable in these matters.

Ooh, yeah, saltwater is nice on the skin, isn't it? I like the buoyancy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Okay, the spinning jellyfish women were a little baffling.

They're... channelling Australian rock bands? [link]

I think once you have spinning jellyfish women, one can justifiably regard such differences as cosmetic.

OK, that Prius ad was offensive. "All those people who stop by cafes on teh way home from work and can take August off, what a bunch of pansy underachievers they are!" I wouldn't want to be caught driving a Prius after that ad.

I haven't seen that one yet, Connie. Though I do tend to tune out commercials.

I've been picking up the living room bit by bit. It was a pit when I came out here. Normally I pick up after CJ day by day, but it has been a week since I've spent time out here and had the energy to do anything. Gah. The kitchen is still a pit, but maybe I can work on that a bit tomorrow.
