I found this story more sad and sweet, sympathizing with the poor crazy man and maybe on some level wishing that his music could bring them back to life. But then again, I'm pretty twisted. I'm just this side of crazy myself and have a recently deceased love who was just on the other side of crazy from me and, had she…

I admit, I poached my late girlfriend. Her boyfriend was really, really awful though. Kind of guy who would answer "I love you" with "I like having you around," and any questions about their relationship with just flat-out stating that leaving him didn't make sense because who else would take her. Yeah.

"I wish that you could not grant this wish."

Random question. I'm reading your screen name like the Japanese suffix -chan appended to the korean food kimchi. Is that correct? Also, is that your real name? Even though I don't know much of the actual language, I still try to keep my ability to read Hangul sharp.

I'm definitely putting it on my watch list. It's got promise, and I'm honestly kinda glad Liv isn't coming back (her actress was...not good). We'll see how it picks up over the rest of the season. I'll see if future episodes manage to hook me better once they clean up the snags from the pilot.

http://youtu.be/Yrin2bmGEp8?t=…Problem with that is, Sergeant Slaughter also added his superhuman strength to the mix. Remember, this was a guy who (and I can't believe I remember this) when sent back to ancient Greek times was a reasonable stand-in for Heracles, even cleaning out the Aegean Stables for him.

He didn't. IIRC, he tried to sabotage it several times. It was a coup from within led by Dr. Mindbender and...Destro, I think? Why they would want to create a leader instead of just seizing power themselves is another issue.

I LOVE REAPER!

If you think that's racist, then YOU'RE the real racist.

It's funny. My mother used to complain about this too when I was growing up, albeit she was nowhere near as blatant about it as this lady. Reading this article made what she was really saying click. Though, since I grew up in a city in the middle of the Appalachians that was as gentrified as San Francisco, it really…

Well, there's just a certain look about these inner-city youths. A dark shadow cast by the welfare state. Kids from the suburbs, raised in a culture of hard work and not shiftlessness, away from the violence caused by super predators and crack babies, have a certain light about them, you know?

SERVED!

I'm prepping myself for NaNoWriMo, where I'll be writing a semi-fanfic using the framework of the world of Ravnica from Magic: The Gathering. I feel no obligation to cleave to canon unless it makes things more interesting, but I'm finding a lot of things just work. This post made me think about the way magic works in…

Sheesh. Yeah. Even the first time I threw up from drinking I didn't think "time to stop," so much as "should have stopped a while ago." I'm not sure what it is, but something about alcohol puke is so much more violent and miserable than even the worst stomach flu I've ever had. Maybe it's because with a stomach flu, I…

Throwing up helps less than you think. Alcohol is absorbed so readily, it starts being absorbed in your mouth before you even swallow! By the time your stomach starts doing a Muppet Martian impression (nopenopenopenopenopenope), pretty much all the alcohol has been absorbed, and you're just throwing up everything else…

Wonder if it was meant for you, meant for him, meant for someone else, or just shotgunned.

I can't speak for everyone, as everyone's body is a bit different, but I've never gotten sick from mixing booze and weed. I have also never been roofied, but I'm a 6'4" male, which clearly means women are making it up. /sarcasm

Allying with evil gods is always going to backfire on people, but even if Cobra Commander has assumed Set was more accurate to his mythology — in which he isn't evil as much as he is an occasional asshole — Set's main job as god is to fight Apep, the serpent of Chaos. Something tells me he wasn't going to work well…

The Dragon is representative of Satan in the Book of Revelation and the two have been synonyms at times.
