So I Like Science Fiction, Somebody Got a Problem With That?

I don’t watch Grey’s Anatomy and I have no idea what’s really going on in this scene — how the hell does a guy get encased in concrete anyhow? — but I thought this speech was awesome, for reasons that will become obvious:

That would definitely boost my ego if I’d somehow done such a lame-o thing as getting myself encased in concrete. Nice shout-out to the Expanded Universe, too, with the mention of the Solo twins. There’s either a major fan in the writer’s room of Grey’s or they’ve got some good research assistants…

And… We’re Back!

Some of you may have noticed something missing from your lives the last couple of days… namely this entire blog! Sorry about that; we’ve been having some server issues here at Simple Tricks and Nonsense. If it’s any consolation to those loyal readers who had to sweat and shudder their way through those uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms, I couldn’t even get into the back-end functions myself. It was as if this place never existed… [Imagine, if you will, the sound of a cold, mournful wind blowing across a vast plain that is alien in its desolation and very, very creepy.]

However, my ever-vigilant webmaster Jack informs me the problem ought to be fixed now and regular bloviation may continue.
