Disappointment… dissipating. In its place rises a strange feeling of… muskrat love?

I don't remember the KJ Anderson books well enough to retain much of an opinion (given how everyone here talks about them, they must have been really shitty), but I do remember that 9-year-old me had a huge crush on the picture of Admiral Daala on the cover of Jedi Search. Yes, I know her head was only about an inch…

Could you really poop while your biggest crush was just on the other side of a California-architecture-thin interior wall? Because I don't think I could. Granted, if her butthole was really a gateway to hell then maybe she wouldn't have been able to resist.

Some shows are just meant to leave beautiful corpses. Being a fan of Pushing Daisies really drove that lesson home for me.

That was… florid?

"I can't stay, I'm making pie for people I hate. Which is difficult for me, because I love… pie."

damn, eagle eyes

I've also felt that emotion creeping up a few times, but the show has always kept to the right side of the cringing line, even if I start to tense up one or twice per episode.

The CW app works okay for me, on an android tablet. I assume they have one for ipad?

In all fairness, her family is awful. When I look into her children's eyes, I see the death of America.

That line was really good, and I don't think it wad in the explicit version? "Give Good Parent" might be a case where the censored version is better. The vagina line felt extraneous to me. On the other hand, "Your parents totally want to fuck me" makes way more sense colloquially than "Your parents absolutely want to…

Rebecca's "nooooooo…."s are fantastic. You can really hear the articulated ellipses.

Okay, I very much want to comment on the new episode, but the review's not up yet and I very need to go to bed. Very (yes, it's my adverb of choice).

While TIE Fighter was a better game overall, the first time you face down a Star Destroyer in X-Wing really got to me. The sudden appearance of a kilometer-long capital ship in the middle of your dogfighting brought home to me, maybe for the first time playing a video game, the scale and grandeur that the first movie…

Yeah, it's a shame. The advertising pages usually my favorite parts. Lovely design throughout.

This hunger for mythic awesomeness may partially explain the fan popularity of Genndy Tartakovsky’s stylized Clone Wars cartoons, where most of the Jedi seem superheroic in their near-invincibility.

I guess he always did want to be a paperback writer?

Much of the appeal of PK Dick for me was the way he swerves in unexpected directions with his premises. There's an unsettling quality to the way books like Ubik and Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said expand on their initial ideas that elevates them above their sometimes shoddy characterization and worlds.

Thanks to my "blindspot" in regards to terrible shows, I'm now considering whether I can somehow use my December swap-out to muscle my way into last place. I don't want to go against the spirit of the league, but it does seem like it's more fun when you have something to shoot for, and worst is probably all I can…
