Bwha! I love that last line.
Vampires on HBO?
Hmm... I've tried these novels but have never quite gotten into them. I have one hanging around the house, I might try one last time.

Mr. Sulu Comes Out
George Takei is boldly going where no Star Trek vet has gone before: out of the closet. The 68-year-old actor — who played chief helm officer Mr. Sulu in the original series — has confirmed that he is gay. He made the revelation in the current issue of Frontiers, a Los Angeles magazine covering the gay and lesbian community. Takei said he would have come out sooner were it not for Starfleet's "don't ask, don't tell" policy

Oh, and we got a bit of Brainiac badness. Finally.

Excerpt from TV Guide's Apprentice recap
The Donald is displeased. And you know what that means… four, count 'em, four finger-pointing sad sacks get the pink slip in one fell swoop. But amidst all that jaw-dropping, guffaw-inducing jolly good fun, the episode's finest moment comes down to the post-boardroom Walk of Shame in which Josh, Jennifer, Mark and James are forced to share a single cab into sequestered oblivion. Best. Uncomfortable. Silence. Ever!
Batman Begins hits DVDs
"Batman Begins" scored a knockout punch in its first week on home video, shooting to No. 1 on both the preliminary national sales and rental charts.
The brooding Warner Bros. auctioneer, which took in nearly $205.3 million in theaters, is one of the first big summer movies to come to video -- and ranks as the top-selling DVD so far this fourth quarter. Industry sources peg its sales at nearly 4 million copies in the week ended October 23.
