Please do not follow me if your entire persona on here is "I post and repost mostly political stuff," or because you saw that I liked a political comment somewhere, with the hope that I will follow you back. I will not.
I prefer to use this space to escape politics, for the most part.

Sometimes, our living room TV does a thing where you turn it on, and the sound & picture aren't synched. I turn it back off and then on, and it's fine.
Watching Mariah Carey sing at the Olympics opening ceremony now, and I've turned the TV off & on 3 times because of how poorly she's synched.

MeTV is bringing THE WIZARD OF OZ back to broadcast TV. The movie has continued to be seen regularly on cable (via TNT, TCM and HBO), but its last telecast on over-the-air TV was in 1998 on CBS.
Now MeTV has licensed the classic to run this October as part of its Halloween "BOO-nanaza" stunt.

As someone who has spent many a cold afternoon in an unheated warehouse these past few months, trying to condense/organize comics left over from when we closed our store (7 years ago today, in fact!), let me tell you, I can truly say, "Yes, it is possible to have too many comic books."
