Roadside Picnic

Heroes was all kinds of terrific, as usual.  Bennett's turning into a genuine hardass - "Your last thoughts" will stick with me for a while.  George Takei busting out with the kata.  Sylar getting more monstrous by the hour.  And there's news of a spinoff miniseries coming next season.

Filled up the Explorer yesterday.  $47.  Both vehicles have very-nearly-full tanks, and with no real trips in my future, that should last me a good long while.

Have determined that "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" is not a universally correct statement.  Recent events aren't going to kill me, but they have left me considerably weaker.

Heroes rocks, rocks, rocks.  Rocks harder than Gary Glitter at a Girl Scout camp.  The SEVEN WEEK HIATUS is going to kill me.  I must fill the gap with writing.

Few things are worse than being sick.  One of these things is when someone important to you is sick, and there's nothing you can do about it.
