Functional Friday: Texan Caesar
Today has been filled with a flurry of urgency, and, to top it off, I’ve been forced to abandon the content I’d intended for this afternoon’s post.
As such, I thought it would be a good time to do a little housekeeping.

There’s a small chance that tonight’s script will be rejected by my accomplices, (it deals in some ways with themes familiar to the “banned” episode of the show,) but I think the odds are slim.
Otherwise, things will be posted at the regular bat-time, on the regular bat-channel.
I’m sure this is cold comfort, but the earthquake was reported by ABC News as 8.9. therefore you can probably assume you had no involvement.
Not to make light of the tragedy but by a coincidence my brother booked a tour of Japan just last week. He shot me an email this morning that said “Maybe they heard I was coming?”
Yikes; we’re still pretty glued to the news out of Japan – I’ve definitely seen the 8.9 on CNN and ABC, but Google still reports 8.8, so I’ll use that as my defense.
