The Great MAC Pigment Repackaging Debate.

I understand the upset over the repackaging/downsizing of MAC's pigments; at first I was all like: "OMG, how can they just screw us like that??" I'm a pigment collector, and I thought this might finally break me of my habit. I mean, it isn't like I need any more. But then I saw "Universal Mix" and my inner magpie surfaced -- ooooo, shiny! AND DEN?? I clicked it into my shopping cart and ...

... into something fluffy. He filed that thought away for future reference. “Yeah, okay,” Dean finally said, glancing down at the rabbit dubiously. “But what are we going to do with him?” ~~~~~ After some debate—mostly between Sam and Dean, since Cas hadn’t seemed to care—Dean and Sam had agreed that Bobby would probably be the best person to take care of John-the-rabbit.

So in light of the mainstream debate over the recent Force-choke interrogation scene: 1) It's certainly less harsh than slaughtering Tusken families and young children. This is future-Vader we're talking here! 2) It's on late; impressionable kids are in bed by 9 PM. 3) It's the highest-rated show in Cartoon Network history. Don't only give them some slack, but give us a lot more of these ...

Next on the...

Letter From London: My American Friends

..., without a smile, without acknowledging your existence except as an impediment. In America that would be not just unacceptable but inconceivable. What is the relevance of this anecdotal trivia to a serious debate about the status of America in the world? Most of my American friends were depressed and gloomy about the Bush years. Several said that if Bush were re-elected in 2004, they would ...

Star Trek/Firefly Fic -- Spock/River -- Twisted Logic

Without her to challenge at chess or Go or riddles or even a debate on the theoretical dynamics of goose-juggling, there seemed little reason to stay awake. He had grown unwisely dependent on her company, and perhaps, allowed her to do the same. She had chosen a...
