Doctor Who/TNG Crossover
So I’ve been hearing about IDW’s Doctor Who/TNG comic for a week now. Of COURSE I will read it, own it, treasure it, bronze it, frame it, worship it….
But am I the only one who is TOTALLY BUMMED we’ll never see it in live action? Just when I think I might be over the loss of TNG, this happens and it’s like the series died ALL OVER AGAIN.

An Important Message
My dad sent me this in an e-mail forward. I have no idea where it originated, but it’s important, so I’m sharing it:

Want to give them the ability to take down entire websites without a court hearing or even a requirement for evidence aside from their promise that the site held or linked to “infringing content”?

euclase more or less nailed it. to the point that reading it made me anxious :)

A PSA for Shy People
I just want to say, that if you meet someone new and they seem snobby or stand offish, please consider the thought that they may just be shy. More than that, they may have social anxiety and if you meet them in a loud crowded place they are probably not only freaking out about meeting a new person, but also about all the people surrounding them.
