Ding Dong the Lich is Dead

Hey,

So sure, there's lots of other great things to talk about, but I'm most interested in the fact that Jack Valenti died.

Y'know how you can shoot someone and still get a PG or PG-13 rating, but you can't show a boob without it automatically going to R and an erect penis puts you squarely in X? Yeah, that's all his fault. I'm sure he was a very nice guy personally, but his ratings system is a complete disaster.

Will this change? Well, probably not anytime soon, but with the chief architect gone and growing criticism perhaps a more realistic (or at least more transparent) process will come along.

No Money Down...

...yet.

They accepted the offer. So long as the home inspector doesn't cry and my carefully built financial fascade holds up to the bank's scrutiny, we're buying a house.

It's in Maynard. Within spitting distance of Clock Tower Place.

More details as they emerge.

They're going to revoke my "Not-a-Grownup" card any second now...
