Harry, Oh Harry

The news was pretty happy today. Lots of pedophiles getting caught all over the world. Let's give it up to the Austrian police for busting a child pornography ring and catching almost 3,000 of the members all over the world. Hopefully that means that a lot of children will be spared their abusive company. Personally, I think we should bring back cutting things off as a legal punishment. What do you want to bet we would see sexual crimes drop drastically? Cut a few people's junk off and suddenly the risk isn't really worth it any more. And if that is what happens on the first offense think about the penalty for a repeat offender. I'm sure most of you think this is approach is too harsh, which is just testimony as to why I will never hold any form of office. I'm too mean, too tough, people would attempt to assassinate me, and amazingly enough I would not back down. I wouldn't back down because I truly feel that anyone who inflicts horror upon another should learn true horror in return. Perhaps if we make them suffer, instead of locking them away some place that is climate controlled and supplied with cable they will be less inclined to repeat their mistake. Campaign slogan - Wickkett for president, lower crime OR ELSE!

The Sig and I sunk to a whole new level of geekiness last night while at Barnes and Noble. (One of the best stores in the world!) When we entered there was a very large eye catching sign that told us we could reserve our copy of the newest, and sadly the last, Harry Potter book. I'm sure dear readers almost all of you have read about Harry's great adventures, the statistics are on my side on this one. I'm also sure that if you have read the other six books then you are either excited about a possible pre-order or you just sat up a little straighter in you chair and I have your full attention. That's right the new Harry Potter, and the release date has been pushed back to July 21st. Pretty messed up, but at least it will be here this year! The Sig and I managed to corner a book jockey while we were there how ever, and accost her for information. Poor girl. I told the Sig that we are are sinking to a nerdy new low. We demand nerdy information and if you do not give it to us we will make fun of you in ways you do not understand until you cry with confusion!

Anyone else making it through the week on the comforting fact that a new season of Lost starts tonight? I don't consider this a low, no, I consider this one of my many addictions. I'm a functioning addict, we'll be alright until that changes.

we should have re-watched the last episode of Lost that played before that ridiculously enormous hiatus, the day before we watched that episode last night... because, i think the anticipation we were feeling for the very next scene was completely destroyed during that break... they were all screaming and freaking out... and i was trying to get into it exactly where they left us months ago... and it just wasn't working... the tension was broken, and it didn't seem to want to come back for me... damnit
