How does someone's ability to manipulate fire give...

Answer: It doesn’t.
Yet another reason Heroes is painfully sloppy
Same reason Nathan’s eyes don’t get bugs in them. Isn’t it common in comics for someone with X power to tacitly have the other minor powers to allow the main one to work?

After reading the whole article, I’m thinking a good movie could come of this. Very dramatic.
Sunday afternoon at 4 isn’t a good time to try and get a haircut. Everything is closed, and would be super expensive if it was open.
The haircuts I get are not complex. They should realistically cost $10.
I wandered around searching, ended up at Wrigley Field, then went home.
What if, on the bus home from work, instead of everyone reading their books and magazines silently, one person read aloud from a novel?
What if, on the bus to work, instead of everyone listening to their iPods, one person had a boom box and we all jammed along?
I weighed myself just now, and the digital readout said “123.4” I think that’s cool.
Also, I need to eat more.
I don’t believe “Anni Rossi” is her real name. It’s too close to “Aldo Rossi”
The bar I went to was called “Bottom Lounge”
(it wasn’t a gay bar)
oops I went to a concert instead of watching the debate.
I spent 2 weeks preparing for a big meeting, but then didn’t get to attend the meeting.
Kind of disappointing, but the meeting was really long, so if I was there, I bet I’d be all “bah I wish I was back at my desk”
Plus side, I feel like I made a good contribution to the presentation, and I learned a thing or two.
F! stepped on a LEGO in the dark
tonight I drank milk, then orange juice, then icewater. Damn I love liquids!!
Why does my brain do this?
Sometimes when I’m typing I accidentally type something that sounds like the words I meant. Like I typed “after” instead of “have to”…
That was the best speech I’ve ever heard Bush deliver.
I sent in my absentee ballot request today.
And, as my permanent residence is still Cleveland, I’m an Ohio voter. Thats right, swing state! My vote is more important than yours!

yessssssssssssss heroessssssssssssss.
it’s been far too long since it’s been on tv.
(sure its confusing as fuck right now, but at least it was entertaining
I’m glad someone else agrees. Everyone else on tumblr seems to be hating on it.
I’m not really impressed with the Evil League of Evil’s powers though… fire? magneto? fear-strength?

I bought an iPod, the new nano kind. It’s red.
I’m not sure how to turn it on and off. This is my first iPod ever.

Walking from the bar back home.
Pass 2 college girls, they say “hi” and kind of pose sexy-like. I say “hi” back.
After I pass I hear them talking/laughing amongst themselves.
Then I come upon their friends, a whole pack. A fratguy with his arm around some slut says “hey sweetie” then the next couple passes and the guy-half calls me...

Seriously. Fuck this… Something is wrong with this country and I don’t what I should do.
Jesus Christ. What the hell PROMPTED this?
A while back I thought that tumblr did away with groups, but they are still here. Kind of hidden though…

I really like the way the new Hardly Working turned out.
Hardly Working (and Jake & Amir) both demonstrate the great last line. I always find myself finding the videos good, but not laugh-out-loud good, but then I crack up right when the screen goes black.
The Office (US) will do the last-second bit, but its separated by a commercial break. Same with Arrested Development and...
This week I realized that I know very very little about the economy. Insurance on loans and all this global back and forth… so very complicated.
What I Learned Today helps a bit, at least.
guilty reclining

when flying on an airplane, i will only recline my seat if the person in front of me reclines theirs. otherwise, i feel guilty about impeding on the flyer behind me…
Oh god. Reclining seats is terrible. I cannot understand how anyone could ever justify reclining. You gain a slight bit of comfort, at the direct expense of someone else’s.
Whenever I fly, this...

The funniest thing about Emailgate is that even though Sarah Palin has been vetted — allegedly — no one thought that it might be wise to go back and delete the private email address she was using. I mean, come on. I would think that they would be a little more sophisticated than that?
What’s next? Todd Palin’s secret Manhunt profile? And what would his handle be? RedneckBear69?

I have no idea if this has ever actually been put to the test (ie, someone who signed it was then murdered) but its an interesting idea.
I’m undecided on the death penalty. State-sponsored killing feels wrong, but on the other hand, criminals…
I am impressed by people with the certainty/conviction to sign, though.
