The Wire

Various reasons.

This.

I added to and rewrote some copy to be used at a virtual build for Relay for Life in Second Life this weekend. I know, minor, but it's writing, and I got it done, so yay me.

Is it big enough that I should just wait for the newswire for it?

So, does the movie not address the 'walking on burning coals' deal? Isn't that what his seminars are best known for? And yes, he still does it: http://abcnews.go.com/Enter…

I remember, oh so far away in time (say, the early 90s) when he was considered a cult leader by some, just of a secular cult of prosperity.

I agree with you on IV. He seems to have wide-ranging tastes and seems to know and appreciate the difference between a good movie and a fun movie. And when he reaches into his Magic Bag of Sick Burns … so good.
