Strike

My favorite chant heard on writers' strike picket lines:

"What do we want?" "Residuals!" "When do we want them?" "Later!"

I have to admit I am sad to see this strike end. This has been a delightful few months for me, free from the temptation of media gluttony, wherein I have turned on the TV maybe two or three times total. I am not trying to be self-righteous--it's just that we only have 3 channels anyway and even when TV writers are working there is very little to watch that leaves me feeling like a more interesting person. Now I have to work a little harder to avoid melting my brain cells.
