Vale Alistair Cook

I will bloody miss Letter from America. I didn't listen to it regularly, but whenever I caught it, it was funny, intelligent, and helped me get a better grip on world affairs.

I'll never forget the one about strained American-British relations post Iraq: Mr Cook described the taking of the President's home during the war of 1812 by arrogant Brits who ate the dinner abandoned by the fleeing inhabitants, then burned the place to the ground. "We got over that," Cook said drily, "and we'll get over this."

She's going, she's going!

It's a quarter to five. I have been staring into this computer screen since 2 pm, doing endless small HTML corrections, and MY FUCKING EYES ARE MELTING! help mee help meeee

In other news, it'd be cool if Mel Gibson did "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", with a scene where Aslan gets fed into a woodchipper.
