Hey, I've never had good caviar before, but if it's really that much better than the stuff I have had... I'm not sure I'm ready.

Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.
More and more, I try to keep from identifying as a fan of something and try to think more actively -- a shift from "I am this" to "I enjoy this." I don't think it matters to others, but I think it's been healthier for me to keep the things I enjoy outside of my sense of identity. It's still a work in progress (it's less successful with sports for me), but I think it's been a good thing so far.

I really miss aliens that had their own language. Star Wars seems to have moved in a everybody speaks the same language and understands each other direction.
I think Star Trek is more responsible for that.

It is completely appropriate for fiction aimed at children to include terrible events or frights like Atreyu's horse Artax drowning in the Swamp of Sadness, the banshee from Darby O'Gill and the Little People, or Large Marge from Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
Seriously, this guy scared the $%#@ out of me when I was seven.

When Jim Henson made The Dark Crystal, he felt that it was unhealthy for children to never feel fear from their stories.
