You Run; I Con Braindump (possible spoiler)

I should have seen it coming. All the clues were there. At first on LOST tonight, I thought Ana (or is it Anna?) did it. But that was too obvious.

Life of a Hollywood Screenwriter

An interesting article, particularly for you Veronica Mars fans, about the life of a Hollywood screenwriter. I do think the ending is a little optimistic; success in Hollywood today doesn’t mean success in Hollywood tomorrow. But, best of luck to her and maybe she’ll be one of the survivors.

But then they blew it. Reality intruded at the end when Captain Stottlemeyer’s wife gave him divorce papers. Now, clearly, this is [...]
