Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know from Whitney, but you are a thousand times more practical than The New Girl, based on the ads.

The New Girl isn't on until September.

OMG, then why have I already seen like 87bazillion commercials for it?!?

Every now and then I wonder why I don't watch TV real-time anymore, and then commercials remind me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I guess they're building the buzz. I watched the promo, and it seemed cute.

If Zoe D's eyes get any bigger and moppet-like, she's gonna turn into a toy.

Loki's shut himself in a cabinet and shows no interest in emerging. That cat.

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

If Zoe D's eyes get any bigger and moppet-like, she's gonna turn into a toy.

Which reminds me, I saw this ad in a magazine the other day. Am I completely off, or did they photoshop the living fuck out of her? I swear, when I first glanced at it, I went, "Huh, is Zooey Deschanel doing makeup ads now? Oh, no, what a dope I am, that's completely not Zooey Deschanel." Then I looked closely at the small print and realized it was her.

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of her that looked so much not like her at all. And I *really* don't understand how they could take the most moppet-eyed woman on the planet, put her in an eye makeup ad, and turn her into something weird and squinty and unrecognizable.

Our wings are not tired.

ita, when I was researching University of London's international program, a key reason I chose it was it was the university Mandela received his degree from (he studied and took exams while in prison). I thought "if it's good enough for him, it's damned well good enough for me!!"

"Nightly lane closures, zombies ahead."

We actually had that a few weeks ago, although the signs just said "Road Closed." They closed two highways for several days each for filming "The Walking Dead."
