Has anyone noticed how every story in comic books or tv shows or books that involves villains or hostile aliens going back through time to World War 2 to try to take over the earth or something like that, they always align themselves with the Nazis? The two most recent ones I can think of are the Justice League arc with Vandal Savage and the Enterprise arc where the Temporal Cold War is resolved. Are they stupid or something? Why the hell would they help the losing side? Why don’t they ever align themselves with the Allies? If they’re smart enough to build a time machine they should be smart enough to pick the winning team. If I was a super villain and I traveled back to WW2 to try to take over the world, I would align myself with the Allies, probably the Soviets. I would help Stalin build war machines to smash the Axis powers and conquer… err I mean liberate all of Europe and Asia so that the Soviet Union would emerge from the war as the world’s savior and sole super power. The glorious red revolution would then slowly envelop the globe, crushing the western powers, leading the way to a glorious Soviet Empire that will reign supreme under my vigilant gaze *insert maniacal laugh*. The so-called heroes would be helpless against my might. They can’t help the Axis powers and if they somehow overthrow me, which is highly unlikely, they would throw the Soviet forces into chaos, giving the Axis powers a chance to win on the eastern front, prolonging the war and sending millions to their deaths. Anything those “heroes” do to thwart me would only worsen the situation. That's a diabolical plot for world domination worthy of a true super villain mastermind. *insert evil maniacal laugh*

I love my Ipod. I love my music. I love my "weekly fix of the 'verse." And I love having my answer to the "Question of the Week" on the air. Funky-ness! Last week's question was something to the effect of: What's your fav episode and why? Well, I said "Safe." Now, how many of y'all agree? *Sees very few raised hands* Oh, dang it all...:smile: No, but really; as much as I can't choose and would love to say all of them, I do love that eppie. Simon and River is one of my favorite relationships (not "ships," as in romantic pairings, cuz that would be...wrong.) and "Safe" did a great job of playing up how much Simon would do for her; how much they love each other. And, come on, Mal's line about "Yeah, but she's our witch. So cut her the hell down!" And then, the quote that spawned a million posts..."What does that make us?" "Big damn heroes, sir." "Aren't we just?" And aren't they just? Note: I can't post a response to my own blog: how sad is that? But to Anonymous: [i]Okay, here I go again. Once again, I must explain that--being incredibly squemish and all during intense torture scenes--I have never actually seen "War Stories." I know, I know...what kind of "devoted Browncoat" doesn't watch every single ep numerous times? I do, however, have the basic plot points down and, yes, from what I've heard, that's a great scene. Cheers. [i]

Does anyone else do this? It seems like the more work I have piled up the more I procrastinate. I currently have 3 papers due within the next 13 days (it was originally worse - 3 in 9 days, yea surprise extensions!) as well as a Russian test on Monday. I finally have time to work on all of it and now I can't focus! Gah!! Must. Stop. Procrastinating. Now. Must. Leave. FFF.net. Now. Any tips/hints/tricks?
