Don't go anywhere if it's snowing. Hell, just avoid snow in general. Move to Miami.

You Belong With Me is about a girl who wants a guy who is with a different rich white girl than the singer, who is also a rich white girl.

Starship Troopers is practically fascist. I Will Fear No Evil is especially creepy (old man occupies his secretary's body, has copious sex), and all of my criticisms of Stranger in a Strange Land have been levied above.

Topic
Can we talk really bad sci-fi writers? I'd like to toss Robert Heinlein at the top of the list. The author-as-a-mouth-piece thing, generally being a creepy old man, and military glorification.

I think he's actually something of a scattershot writer. He does some amazing work on some books, and others just aren't that impressive. A good thing to remember going into any of Dick's works, just for anybody, is that he was for many of the books a relatively paranoid man and a heavy user of amphetamines. I…

It definetely is a good book to go with after you've read another book or two, to get a taste for Dick's style, so you know to expect that DADOES isn't going to be like Blade Runner besides some central anchoring points.

What about Mr. "Maybe I can heal you, heal you, from the insiiiidee" breaking up what was a sweet family moment? I thought that was a good skip in that rhythm.

Blade Runner
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? really is a good book. I actually read the book before I saw Blade Runner, and it touches on a lot of themes and ideas about life and freedom that the movie just didn't expound on. The movie's fun, and really evocative in a different way, so even if you've seen it and…

They reviewed the pilot, and essentially agreed. I've got ish, but it's nice at least to get some support for out-there comedies.

Smashing Pumpkins became mainstream, and Billy Corgan ain't exactly a charmer.

EMI is the publisher, so yes, it has the distribution rights.

I search wikipedia so you don't have to!

Rigor mortis is the muscles losing the chemicals needed to move, while the muscle's still relatively intact. But after the muscle starts to outright die and break down he'd get all floppy! Floppy floppy body.

If you wanna read Savage Love comments, go to the actual column on thestranger.com. The actual comments are surprisingly decent and by large non-creepy!

Buried bodies attract insects and other factors but otherwise, decompose far more slowly than bodies that are exposed to the open air. So reasonably, the body would be bloated and filled with decayed matter and maggots, and the skin would be slick and loose, but it could be reasonably preserved and recognizable. It'd…

I think Dean's more around about 15 or 16? It's hard to pin the boys ages down.

Also, the good-lookin corpse they pulled up was 'the last one with a good face' so assumedly, all of the other ones are horrible and decomposed. It was probably just the freshest corpse in the pile.

Tragedy, and in true form of comic book characters who lose a loved one and then become all hardcore and buff, he is also absurdly grim and covered in pouches.

Prog Rock
The whole prog rock gag was probably most awesome in that it was an obvious character trait, you know that Rusty is totally the archetype of dork that enjoys the fuck out of some prog rock.

Gareth was also just mildly creepy, and not nepotistic and insane.
