the cold

First day of winter!

It feels like we've had winter for weeks, actually. It's been so cold.
Of course, all you northern hemisphere people are probably going "Oh, poor baby. You actually had to wear gloves outside at seven in the morning? How do you bear it?" Yeah, yeah, I know. But it's cold for here.

This from someone who wants to move to Europe and get below-freezing winters every year. Why was that, again?

Killing People Off

I was watching Passion the other day, and I realised one of the reasons Joss Whedon is so fantastic: the way people on his shows die.
You see, most tv shows have people dying in one of three ways: incredibly obvious get-it-over-with-already type deaths, fake deaths, and heroic sacrifices. Joss’s shows have those, but they also have some other varieties.
