See Spot Descend Into Existential Angst was an overly ambitious project.

New York winters can be cold. *lightsaber*

To be fair, See Spot Run IS f**king perfect.

Confusion AND appreciation. Sounds like the ingredients for an unwanted(?) erection.

Next week on Walking Therapy, the gang burns down their only shelter for the evening in aid of closure for childhood trauma.

Actually, I think it's the folks who live west of Croydon who are ruining the country.

I, for one, can't wait to see what form of body alteration the next generation comes up with. How about an electronic skin that displays digital images. Thousands of crappy cat memes and the goddess is dancing animated GIFs coming to a mall near you in the not too distant future.

I love that era too.

I always loved her track Woman from that era.

I read college apps from students that come from L.A. where there is a family of 6 living on less the $15,000 in some cases. I don't know how they manage to be honest.

There is a joke in here somewhere about Fresno being the armpit of California and removing pit stains from shirts.

True, but there are certain metrics I have access to that paint a picture the applicant can't fake. And even if they did, getting past a first read doesn't mean they'll get past the evaluation stage.

As part of my job in admissions I read the personal statements about the family life and income (among other metrics) of hundreds of college bound kids. I concur, Hollywood has no idea how people live.

This made me spit coffee all over myself. Well done.

Specifically? Tokyo, Sydney, New York, San Francisco, London and Dublin.

By vanilla I mean the standard Civ IV out of the box.

Maybe as vanilla, but definitely not greater than the mods I mentioned above….IMHO.

Civ fans should get the mods Fall from Heaven II (fantasy mod) or Realism Invictus (like the regular game but with 10 times more content) for Civ IV. Far superior in every way to Civ V except for the graphics.

I was a fan from the late 80s to mid 90s with 2000AD (arguably it's golden era), particularly the stories around Zenith, Rogue Trooper, Slaine & Chopper.
