Now, this is disturbing, yet strangely true. I love the ending with the cartoon nerd.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Gary Devon Blum

I have bad news. My writing teacher Gary Devon Blum passed away a few days ago. This morning I receive an e-mail with his name on it, and I knew before opening it that he had died. His wife stated that he passed away. I went and visited him a week before he died. It pained me so much to see him in such a way, but I knew he’d be happy to see me. When I saw him, he opened his eyes and he looked so happy to see me appear in the doorway, despite not being able to talk. I told him how my life was going and that I’d plan to visit him again. After I left the hospital, little did I know it would be the last time I’d ever see him. He wrote a few novels and taught at a few local universities, and this was where I met him.

When I first met him and took his workshops, he helped me get through a difficult time in my life. He showed me that...

How can she slap? How can I sue?

______________ H ow can she slap? How can I sue ? I read through the ED page on that “how can she slap?” story and it appears it isn't over. Ravi, the dude that slapped the woman and got bum-rushed, is planning on suing the show. Talk about being wimpy. From the site… ((Reality shows may have their fixed scripts and sensational turn of events, but Ravi is in no mood to take things lying down.)) I’m sure this has more to do with being embarrassed than anything else. It doesn’t matter who was right or wrong, but you’re playing into their hands by making this lawsuit. It’s just more free press for another awful reality show. Enjoy this clip from the show where the contestants have to dip their faces in mud to answers question. Kind of Fear Factor-ish. It's really hard to watch this clip. And, what's up with gay guy with make-up? What's even crazier is we, in the States, have shows just as bad.
