Rapture might be an improvement. I'm open to alternatives.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My mom officially went into hospice care today. I flew down on Friday afternoon, spent much of Saturday and Sunday in her hospital room, and flew back Sunday night. (The flight was 2 hours late taking off due to mechanical issues, so I didn't get home until after midnight.) It was really hard seeing her like this. She slept most of the time. When she was awake, she didn't recognize me.(She didn't recognize my brother when he was down earlier in the week) Her kidneys have cleared up, but there's an infection and fluid in her lungs that wasn't responding to treatment.
No one knows how long she has. At least the last thing I said to her before I left was "I love you".

I’m so sorry Sheryl. I’m glad you got that moment with her, even though it’s not what you would have hoped for. Even if she’s not really aware, I do believe the love and care comes through.

I'm sorry, Sheryl. I agree with Brenda, I know she felt you love.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I have glimmer more belief in the will and ability of the American public to stand up to tyranny without our ending up in flat-out war than I did a few days ago. I'll take. it.
Now lets go get Paramount!
I'll sure hate losing NCISs and vintage Magnum and Hawaii 50 if Colbert goes off the air in May, but I will do it, Paramount. DON'T TEST US, PARAMOUNT! If I can give up Star Wars I can give up Star Trek.
