We started watching Heroes a couple of years ago, and at first we were just gobsmacked by how good it was. But the latest season just blows, and after re-reading the TWOP recaps of past episodes, I’ve got some things to talk about, y’all, and it ain’t pretty. Also: SPOILERS!

My very small child is a somewhat less small child now, and I’ve got to say, I’m a little melancholy about it. Not that I want to stunt his growth or anything. What? I totally don’t, and categorically deny any rumors to the contrary.

In Oregon, we get to vote by mailing in our ballots. This is a fabulous system, but it does have its drawbacks.
Pros: Easy, low-effort, can vote naked or in pajamas.
Cons: No instant gratification, no “I voted!” sticker.
In general, though, I highly recommend the voting-by-mail system, and suggest to all who live in places which are [...]
