Which Greek Goddess Are You?I’m Hestia, the goddess of the hearth. She sucks. She’s, like, the one that nobody can remember. She tended the hearth.

The Department of Immigration just called to let me know that my FBI clearance came through, which means that my application for Permanent Residency has been approved! I’m now a totally 100% legal Australian resident. HOW GREAT IS THAT? Oh, and hey! Since we…

HA! I found a transcript of the argument Ebert & Roeper (his new TV partner) had about Attack of the Clones on their last show. It’s hilarious! Roeper loved it; Ebert hated it. The bit about Yoda at the end is the best part: Ebert: Listen, if you’re Yoda and you have the Force. …Roeper:…
