More randomness, I guess:

-- William Pierce, Neo-Nazi and author of _The Turner Diaries_, died yesterday. I know I feel happy that there's one less person in this world inciting others to hate. But I always feel weird when I'm happy at the death of another person. Maybe I'm just odd.

-- Today's "Get Fuzzy" comic strip is wonderful. Read it and you'll get a glimpse of my sense of humor. If it doesn't run in your paper, find it at www.comics.com. It appealed to me on many levels: humorous punny names for stuffed animals, linguistics-based humor, obscure-reference humor (OK, so Chomsky's not that obscure, but he's obscure enough).

-- "Entertainment Weekly" and others are reporting that Rob Lowe is leaving "The West Wing." Not quite sure how I feel about that - he plays a wonderful character who is integral to many parts of the overall story Sorkin is telling. And I wonder whether it's really a done deal or if it's Lowe's way of trying to get more money out of NBC and Warner Bros. Yeah, I'm cynical about things like that

More random brain gleanings

So I decided I should fill out some more of the "about you" stuff for my profile here on livejournal, and I must be in a weird mood (shush, all of you who are saying "you're always in a weird mood, Nomi"), because under the "Interests" category, the explanation says you should be able to confine your answer to things that will follow the pattern "I like ___", and I had to restrain myself from typing "Ike" or "traffic lights."

I can't be the only one who had that problem, can I?
