Pity that the great Star Trek Voyager episode Year Of Hell ended with that experience wiped from the story timeline but we weren’t given the same honor for Threshold.

This is the weekend when Boston barely remembers that the Monday holiday is about the start of the Revolutionary War because 90% of news is about the Marathon, and 9% is about how the news crews covered the Marathon Bombings and current security preparations.

I am already pre-concerned for the wellbeing of the child actors that will be cast in the Harry Potter TV series. It does not bode well for them.

Mum really wanted me to get into the end of the Celtics Nicks game. Supposedly it was a basketball game but I watched for a half hour. They only played for 18.5 seconds. Should they pay the players more or should they fine fouls during OT? No OT time outs? NYC crowd looked like they were over it.

I just realized I have no memory of Snape teaching Defense Against The Dark Arts in Half Blood Prince. It’s all “Slughorn potions master”. Am I obliviated by the film script not including Snape’s book classroom sections?

In every SciFi outer space shot, if set in a spiral galaxy, shouldn’t the plane of the galaxy be visible? At least when looking towards the 90° around the galactic center?

So much required gameplay is breaking into other people’s places and stealing their stuff. Weird, huh? Take their armor. Take their gold. Yes, they are sitting right there. No, deadeyes don’t care.

After you do anything, you can attribute everything in your life afterwards as related to it … “after I stubbed my toe real bad … I decided to move house … I got a haircut … I avoided that annoying person at the supermarket that shops on my day … “

Did pretzels used to be saltier? Whenever I eat some, I am disappointed by how weak the saltiness is. It doesn’t need to be like a powdered donut. It doesn’t even need to be salted on both sides. I just need more salt to taste.

Never accuse her for being emotional. First-girlfriend-mistake. Strong marriages develop replies that compliment her on how well she is handling it and act impressed that she isn’t more upset about it.
