See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Kate, I'm mildly curious about it (and probably not going to fully invest, so if anyone else wants them next I'm happy to pass 'em along).

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Awesome! I've got your address, so I'll send them along, er, sometime soon-ish.

The Word has snippets from an interview with Alan Moore online: [link]

Topics include Lost Girls, The Black Dossier, future LOEG volumes, and how awful Heroes is.

Speaking of Alan Moore - has anyone read The Black Dossier? I just finished it. Kind of love it.

I just read it about a week ago. It's good.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I liked it well enough. My main problem was that there almost too many media references to sort out. It became a puzzle after awhile. (Although I have to admit that as a Gerry Anderson geek, I loved the XL series references.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We own it, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
