This is crying out for a caption. I'll choose my favorite, and send something neat* to whoever writes it. Submissions open throughout the weekend, one per person, and can only be left as comments here (it's too difficult to track on Twitter or via e-mail). *definition of 'neat' will be at my s...

Damn It Wil! Now I NEED to download The Seldon Plan's "The Collective Now". What a great sound!

Memories of the Futurecast: Episode Four
From the better-late-than-never department, it's time for Memories of the Futurecast. Memories of the Future, Volume One, covers the first 13 episodes of TNG, so each week, I'm choosing something from one episode, and performing an excerpt for you. It will mostly be from the synopses, which i...

Wil,
I am so sorry for your loss. Having experienced the loss of both human and animal loved ones, I should be more adept at offering my condolences. But I'm left struggling to find words that I feel will bring you solace. A very close friend once told me that each time we think of a loved one who has passed on, what is really happening is that they sent their guardian angel to check up on us. I'm not an overly religious or spiritual person, but for some reason, this brings me comfort. Each time my mother (who passed on 12 years ago) or my beloved cat Sunny, slips into my thoughts I remember my friend's word and say silently, "Tell her I'm o.k." Perhaps, Wil, all those times in the last three days when Ferris slipped into your thoughts, she was checking on you... just to make sure you'll be o.k. I have never met you or your family, but you are so skilled at painting a picture with words, that I feel I do know you all. So I am confident that you will draw on each other's strengths to get you through this tough time. I'm very glad that Anne will be with you tonight, since she knows, loves and understands you like no one else can. Let her comfort you. I will be thinking of you tonight as I watch Leverage and wishing you comfort and peace.
Sincerely,
Gina

in which some comfort is found
I saw Ferris' empty dish last night when I fed Riley, and it unleashed an agonizing wave of sadness so overwhelming, I dropped to the floor in our living room and cried as hard and as long as I ever have in my life. After she was finished eating, Riley came over to me and sniffed at my face. Th...
