* I turned up for my online game, but no one was thereat first. Some people turned up a bit later and my character got to take his boyfriend on a first date. It turns out my boy is a Romantic. (I am still discovering him.) Later we saw the soap dragon so it's all good.

* All the Pope talk has me thinking of Father Guido Sarducci and his sale's pitch for "Pope on a Rope." Alas, I could not find the clip to show folks to young to know who the hell that is. However, I discovered there is fan campaign to make him Pope. Somehow that makes me terribly happy. Xers of the world unite! Anyway, it's nice to see the actor is alive and kicking and that the character is still loved.

Sorry I wasn't there last night, my sleep schedule's been all messed up by this stomach flu that's going around.

It worked out. Devon and Julian hadn't had any alone time before and Andrew's Soap teaser was lovely.

I think next week will work out better for everyone.

I will be honest, I don't feel even a tinge of remorse because Ram Singh committed suicide and that's not going to change even if he was murdered. I would say that in this case, justice has been served.

I admit, I feel much the same given the brutality and premeditation of the crime. He planned to do this horrible, unforgivable thing and even his mother's tears can't soften my anger. I do have am interest in prison conditions, however, and I found that aspect of the article interesting since I don't know much about the system in India.

Yeah, I didn't feel much when I saw his mother's tears either.

I believe that justice doesn't always come from within the system. Sometimes it's better if things happen like this because I won't be dreading the criminals getting off of an appeal or getting light sentences for their punishment.
