At the risk of trivializing your plight, that last sentence made me laugh.To get out of jury duty, I need to mail them a copy of my new Georgia driver's license, which I don't have.
To get a Georgia driver's license, I need a copy of my birth certificate, which I don't have.
To get a copy of my birth certificate, I need a utility bill for my current address, which is changing because I'm moving.
It's like I'm in a 90s adventure game and I haven't found out how I'm supposed to use the broom and bucket to open the door.

It was really good. I'm looking forward to seeing what they're going to do with this.Just saw it and I was in heaven throught the whole show. REALLY damn fun.
Love Clara, LOVE that the face is back in the titles! Love the retro TARDIS again, love the more mysterious angle with the "taller on the inside" staircase, the whole thing was fantastic.
Everytime they pulled the "Doctor WHO?" gag I imagined Dan Toland falling over. I liked it at the beginning though when it resulted in Matt Smith going "WHAAA??!" right before the title sequence.
And yeah, I wouldn't mind if Clara and the Doctor got romantic together. She's extremely smart and inquisitive, and carries her weight in a manner where it makes sense for 11 to like her in that way. By the end of the episode I was practically shipping them.
This episode was delirious fun, enjoed the hell outta it.

Texas had a white Christmas. I'm happy.

I would like to share my thoughts on the subject for what it's worth.
It's sad that apparently it sometimes takes the murder of innocent people to actually acknowledge just how awful human nature can be. History shows that there have been horrible people throughout the world, and they are always the ones who end up getting the attention. It's not as interesting to show the nice man who held the door at the bank for an elderly woman than it is to show the man who robbed that bank and killed the teller.
But, as it should be, bad sadly isn't, apparent to all, strife, chaos, and injustice is the norm. Not goodness, kindness, and charity. We like to think of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, who killed 100 million people between them, and think that most of us are not like that. But we forget that they had tens of millions of people who willingly, even eagerly followed them. Many of them supported, and even encouraged it.
Humanity is not by its nature good. People, guided by ethics and morals, can be indeed very kind, and accomplish great things. We can end suffering. We can free millions from the oppression of dictators. We can even end the slavery of millions. But that is not the norm.
Therefore, we must not remember the names of killers, but rather damn them. We must remember those who suffered the injustices or tragedies such as what happened on Friday. We must also raise people who do good, who follow the better angels of their nature to higher level, and give them the recognition they deserve.

Forget my last post. It was another internet fake.

If it works, I'll be happy too. I'm not saying I think it looks terrible. I just want Superman to be Superman, and not The Red and Blue Blur.It seems like most of the marketing for Man of Steel is there to counter the mainstream perception of Superman being a goofy cartoon character. Thus far, it seems to be working, as a lot of non-comics fans have said they're surprised to be so interested in a Superman movie.
If they throw in a frakton of flying/punching into the marketing right before release, they can keep the geek crowd happy too.

I'm reminded of the WFP review of the STAS episode "The Main Man", when Superman fought Lobo. Mike's comment on the episode was that it was so much fun, that being big science fiction action. In my opinion (and I'll be the first to admit that it might just be mine), a Superman movie should be that first and foremost. If it isn't, then all the great writing in the world will still leave it falling a bit flat. So far, I haven't seen that yet in these trailers.

Crap, I am so sorry. Didn't mean to not do my part.For the record, Shining Knight is still missing his post from the 7th and Garfield has yesterday.

I was working in Plano when it started at about 5 AM yesterday. It only lasted about 45 minutes.What?! How did I miss that?

We got some here in north Texas.We just got a lot of rain. I wish we had gotten some snow.

And maybe run over a hooker to get the money you paid her for her services.

To alchohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.Not sure if what I had today was a panic attack or a blind rage meltdown but whatever it was I solved it with most of a bottle of red wine.

That almost seems to mirror the Zindi attack on Earth from Enterprise.Hardly unprecended. Wolf 359 comes to mind.
I was thinking that as well, but this implies destruction on Earth. The only comparable events would be the weather disaster in The Voyage Home or the Breen attack in DS9 Season 7. From what's been implied thus far, Into Darkness is like Wolf 359 combined with the Breen attack, doubled over again.

This. I've noticed that talent seems to skip a generation in the British royal family.Great for them!
Also, I've long thought Prince Charles will step aside so William can be crowned King, and I think this will make that happen. A young King and Queen with a child of their own, or an old man with his mistress as his wife? England will want the former, I think.

I never read it until I clicked on the aforementioned link. It came across to me as something that took itself far more seriously than it ever had any right to.

I'm game.

I don't know. I wouldn't want to wear a Squirtle costume at my wedding. It wouldn't be very comfortable wearing walking down the aisle.Yeah. That a man who has dressed as a Squirtle can get married gives the rest of us some bit of hope.

Happy birthday!

That sounds like those space hippies from the second episode of The Zeta Project.

I gave my submission.

I just watched "Heart of Ice" on BTAS. Am I the only one who thinks that Ferris Boyle bears more than a passing resemblance to Mitt Romney?

It's really annoying when you not only don't know when, but where you're going to be working for a week.

One look at Warriors of the Wasteland makes the Colin Baker days of Doctor Who look state of the art.
