Welcome to the last weekend before Dragon*Con. I'll be using this one to get lots of sleep, since that won't happen much next weekend. Enjoy yours.

Some humor links for Mai,

First the ever popular Homestar Runner

http://www.homestarrunner.com/

Next it's The Show with Ze Frank. No longer in production so the political humor is a bit dated but the observational jokes are still gold.

Ever wanted to be a monkey on a crime spree? Now you can:

And in a more academic vein the TV tropes wiki know all the dirty secrets of dramatic structure and they are dishing.
