...um. Drifted off into Vir-geekery, there. Sorry. Such things will happen when I allow the parts of my brain responsible for politics, pop culture, and sci-fi to mingle without supervision. ;)
EDIT: Speaking of which, I don't even *watch* the O.C. on a regular basis, and have seen about five episodes ever (and the fact that that did not significantly affect my understanding of the show when I *did* turn it on says a great deal about the depth and complexity of the storyline ;), but just now, Seth rhapsodizing about the emancipation of the comic book geek? Bwahahahah! *so amused*
Also, will now never, ever again be able to see Dominic Monaghan in anything without wanting peanut butter. ;)
