After a lot of agony over footnotes and a breakdown over my bibliography last night, the paper is out the door this morning. Whatever will be will be.

Oil is now washing ashore in Key West. There's a pretty good likelihood of this getting into currents that will drag it up the entire East Coast. Say goodbye to the beach, folks on the western side of the Atlantic.

Last night on Angel: Darla goes into labor, and I'm still torn about this plotline and everyone's ability to act their way out of all the places where it's UNSPEAKABLY FUCKING STUPID. But, I can see how there are also places where it might really really work, and, of course, where it's intersecting with the Torchwood experience. And hey, Lorne's bedroom is pretty great. I don't know why, but I really loved that insight into the character.

On "Rethinking the Autopilot" -- this is actually why, on long trips or when I'm tired, I don't dare use cruise control. The more I have to actively concentrate on, the better I am at keeping alert.
