a wolf angel is not a good angel

I really, really enjoyed this episode.
Spoilers!
I knew something was off about Nathan — well, clearly something was off about Nathan — but I can’t believe I didn’t see it being Sylar. Like, last week, when he said the special comment. I mean, sure, the show was moving along so fast you didn’t have […]

Unfortunately, Matilda escaped, and of course the weather is so beautiful, I have no idea where she got to. The back door is open, but she has a thing against leaving the balcony, and it also means she’s unwilling to come onto the balcony from the stairs. The front door isn’t open, but I […]

The election is coming up, next week. I am occasionally reading what people have to say, following sporadically the percentages, but mostly ignoring everything. Because, as usual, I want something that mostly requires many, many people to want what I want, and to vote strategically. I sometimes think everyone in this country votes strategically. I […]

me: oh, but you should read a book called benighted
not me: how come?
me: because it is very good
not me: what’s it about?
me: um. i’m going to say what it’s about, and you’re going to get the entirely wrong opinion of it.
not me: :)
me: so before i say what it’s about, i’ll say it’s probably the […]

I watched the first episode of Little Mosque on the Prairie — the television show that, when I first saw an ad for it, I thought was one of those gag ads that 22 Minutes sometimes shows. It takes the easy jokes (mostly anti-Toronto) and is generally exactly like a sitcom. There have been letters […]

sick kitten = no better, no worse, and with an occasional appetite. Still fights like hell against force-feeding and being pilled, which is a good thing. I named her Sadie, by the way;
black & white kitten (Wilbur) is also sick! Same diarrhea and low appetite, time to start force-feeding her, too;
solid grey […]

I read books about depression — but past tense, now. The last one I read was The Noonday Demon, on Dr. B’s recommendation. And it was very good, I’ve no argument with the book.
My argument is with me — when I read these books, I say, oh, oh I’m not really depressed, not like the […]

So, Styleygeek found a sign for Snigma style. What is a snigma? What does snigmatic mean? Snarky and enigmatic? Cougar says “It’s like a laugh track but it isn’t taped laughter — it’s taped sniggers. For use on sitcoms when something is said that’s not funny enough to laugh out loud.” I don’t think […]
