I love that you are still using that avatar.

NWS

I would venture to heap praise upon you, but what could I say that would be better than actually getting published?

NWS

ScottR had previously provided pimpage for you, but when I checked on the 15, there was still no link to the full text. Thanks, Ollie!

NWS

I guess sometime the obvious solution is obvious. Oh well, Bennett teamed up with Adam probably would be too powerful a combination for anyone to stop. That episode can only be described as "bad idea theater." Why have a rational thought when an emotional response that defies logic will ge...

NWS

I guess we can't be sure but it was highly suggested. The company had just taken her blood and then blood was shown going into his arm and then he woke up in a very company-like room. Do you have another idea as to how he would have healed? Because that which is highly suggested is actually likely ...

NWS

Just to throw this out there, are we sure it was Claire's blood that healed Bennett?

NWS

Val, I agree almost entirely with what you've posted about this episode. Especially: . That's exactly what the writers wanted to happen. But it's not EARNED. It's the same thing they do with Claire constantly. They ping-pong characters between emotions irrationally and they expect the audience to ac...

I think your analysis is confusing two separate abilities of the Haitian. His presence dampens powers, which is why Peter's don't work (the Haitian is in the room). His ability to erase memories, while probably related, isn't the same. Erasing Peter's memory didn't remove his powers (he still manage...

I was very pleased with last night's episode. Hiro finally got to be Kenzei and then they didn't spend any time dragging that out before bringing him back. Much as I love a time paradox, I am so glad they didn't take the opportunity to make Hiro his own ancestor. Did he pick Adam, or was that his na...

I don't know if Maya's idiocy is quite as painful as the current Claire storyline. Let's come up with an overly complicated plan that involves both of our powers, obviously we couldn't possibly accomplish our goals without risking revealing our secrets! I was really happy with the Hiro stuff this we...

I never saw Veronica Mars, but Kristen Bell is too funny in this role. It's Clueless-meets-assasin. I love it. And no Destructo Twins! Agreed and agreed. Though I feel like I'm being manipulated into wondering about her father, which makes me not care. I like the Monica character, but so much of th...

I know I'm covered. I'm just always willing to trade up. *grin* I have and I think I'll wait 2 months and check again, Kayak turned up the same Continental flights I'd already found. The last time that Picard and a Time Lord met in Denmark, I watched from as far away as my high school English class.

NWS

If the mid-August ones don't work out, can you let me know? I got some okay seats mid-August. I still have to plan flights, hotels, ect.

The only show I can think of is Corner Gas. I don't know how big it is in Canada, but I've never found anyone else in America who's even heard of it. One of my friends is originally from Canada, and she had the first season on DVD. We watched the entire season in a few sittings. That show is hilari...

Then I won't try to find mine to loan you in the mound of books that is currently my library.

Scott Sum^H^H^H^H^H-Peter l
explain?

Scott Summers, aka Cyclops, is this really nice guy who always tries to do the right thing regardless of the level of personal sacrifice. He is boring, boring, boring, I am almost falling asleep thinking about him, boring.

NWS

Ollie, have you read The Wasp Factory? It isn't something I recommend to everyone, but I think it might be something you'd enjoy.

NWS

I would cling to the hope that Sylar killing her was an illusion except that it would be so out of step with her character to let anyone see her as her concept of unattractive. I just don't think she's wise enough to let her fake dead corpse be anything other than thin. It's what the writers set up ...

NWS

Darn, I can't recall all of what I'd posted here. Beside that I miss Charlie, I'm a sucker for time paradox stories, and that Bennett can't really be foolish enough to trust Mohinder. From this week's: Nice to see this week that Bennett was deflecting Mohinder's innocent (but potentially dangerous i...

The year we were supposed to read it is the year I went to the "Challenge" reading group (which is not a group for challenged students, jerks) and we read something else. Then after that everyone just assumed that I had already read it. That's like me and Lord of the Flies. The "Gift...

NWS

Only 12 grade honors/AP English students in my high school read it. That would be about 20 people in my class. Of course, being that that was during the last year of high school and for the most advanced readers, almost all of us had already read it long before taking the class. It was never in the ...

NWS

Of course I meant you.

NWS

Need a reader?

NWS

Downfall.

I really enjoyed both the movie and the book. We only go to the movies twice a year and this and the new HP were both excellent choices. It was such a good date movie. And, having not seen Sienna Miller in anything since Keen Eddie, I had somehow forgotten what a crush I had on her. She's so beautif...

NWS

what i should REALLY do is find some chicklit-vampire-diet-romance books! just get 'em all in there at the same time. we're make a killing.

I think Amy Sedaris could totally do that. If she did, it would be the gift we gave everyone for Christmas that year.

NWS

I hate impatient people who keep annoying me to finish something so they can talk to me about it. Usually makes me go slower. Well, good, since it takes me at least a year to act on your recommendations. A couple of weeks ago we finally got around to enjoying something you recommended shortly after...

NWS

Wow. I can't even pick a favorite part of that.

NWS

I don't think it requires any "contorting" at all. I'm hardly making the room of requirements or Harry's connection with Voldemort into anything other than or more than it has been presented throughout the books. And Hogwarts was, after all, one of the places Voldemort considered special t...

NWS

When he was a student, he opened the chamber of secrets, which was supposed by many to only be a legend. I can't really fault him for thinking in discovering the room of requirements which wasn't even known as a fable for thinking he'd stumbled into a deep secret. And he was correct in thinking that...

NWS

Oh, okay, that makes sense. Man, some days I *am* an idiot.

NWS

hufflepuff's cup = 5: goblet and I've already excluded Harry from the list. (Also, I guess it just means Dumbledore lied to Harry because Voldemort has an 8 part soul, not a 7 part soul. Or that Voldemort forgot how to count, because he asked Slughorn about a 7 part soul. If Harry was a horcrux, Vol...

NWS

Just so I don't have to reread in the next couple of weeks, what were the 7 non-Harry Horcruxes? I kept trying to count on my fingers and only getting 6.

1: diary
2: ring
3: locket
4: deidem
5: goblet
6: snake

And I feel pretty stupid about that.

I've stayed at Adventura Spa Palace in Cancun a couple of times. It's all inclusive and kids free. By that I mean there's a minimum age restriction. It's also just expensive enough to eliminate "American teenagers being idiots." I wouldn't suggest going there if you have the option of goin...
