I cannot fathom this new fact, that DISNEY just bought MARVEL COMICS.

That's like Chris Columbus taking over on Martin Scorsese's latest.

Oh my gods and goddesses - I just had this vision of all the new superheroes drawn as princesses, and they take down all the old superheroes while wearing glittery tiaras and pink tulle. Kill me now.

Lorrie Moore has released a new novel, though, which balances the forces of good and evil a wee bit to our favor (who is we? you tell me...) and I made a buttload of fantastic cookies.

I will recover from this blow. I will make things all right again.
