Handmaid's Tale was published in 1985 so it's no where near being public domain yet.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.

I bet before this show was created, Margaret Atwood's book was free to read online. Now, one has to pay to read it. Luckily, I found a free PDF version.

I strongly suspect any sufficiently popular book can be found in a free ebook copy online (largely in less than legal versions, if it was written before 1923, at least.)

Here's something I rented from the library: David Attenborough's "Africa."

My favourite segments involve the birds, and, one of my favourites in this one involves ostriches teaching their chicks to find water. And while I can't find this one, here's a different clip of baby ostriches from another Attenborough documentary:





And, of course, the best parts of the animal kingdom had a fight with the worst of it: in one segment, these baby red-billed queleas were left alone while their parents went to find food. This leads to these monstrous-looking crickets trying to get into their nests and eat them. Naturally, I'm rooting for the birds, and, of course, as a nature documentary, we can expect a life or death struggle. So, one of them arrives in the nick of time to keep it from eating its altricial offspring, fighting with them. It kills the cricket, but not before it starts releasing this foul-smelling liquid that I think is its blood, but I'm not going to double-check because I never want to look at those monsters again. What does this do? It releases this chemical that attracts MORE of them. So what happens next. Well, good news: the swarm doesn't go after the birds. Instead, they become cannibals who feast on their dead cricket comrade. My reaction:

David Attenborough is a god. I have his "Mammals," which is excellent.

Time to finish watching it.  Currently on episode 7/10.

It's certainly not the innocent witchery with which we're familiar from Melissa Joan Hart.

If I was going to want to have sex with one of the male characters from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, it would have to be Nicholas. The way he carries himself makes me want to wreck his ass.

For one whose fear of arachnids reaches phobia levels, the latest episode of Doctor Who is creeping me out.
