I was charmed by the spec fi contest, especially John Hodgman's uncharacteristic animation and his guilt at having been overtaken by the spirit of competition.
P.S. As I was confirming just now my memory of Majel Barrett playing the second-in-command in the pilot episode of the original Star Trek I learned that she died a couple of years ago. I also learned today that Robert Parker died a while back. And now Corey Haim, who remains a teenager in my head though I have seen his melted grownup face as well. To quote something I wrote to my aunt earlier today, death, death, death. I'm sick of it.
