-- Dear sweet heavenly day, Stephen King has had an actual idea: A Law & Order series including vampires. Sure, there have been vampire cop shows before, most notably the 1990s Canadian syndicated show Forever Knight. And Angel began with the conceit of Buffy's former boyfriend working as a kind of private detective, prowling the much-meaner-than-believed streets of Los Angeles. But King means the actual Law & Order universe, with the "chung-chung" and voice-of-Moses intro and everything. Someone riffing off of King's Tweet suggested an intro, but I think this would be better: "In the criminal justice system crimes are divided into two separate but equally serious groups: Natural crimes handled by human police officers and attorneys and supernatural crimes, handled in secret by a different kind of investigator. These are their stories."
-- So the federal government was shut down for an entire weekend and Monday. Furloughed workers will receive their pay in arrears; since the shutdown itself did not even last an entire payroll period it's unlikely that their checks will look any different than they would have otherwise. Good thing I didn't invest in any "I survived Shutdown 2018" merchandise.
-- Time to pick up that Philadelphia Eagles' fandom banner I last waved in 2005.
-- Some evidence suggests the sky may not be falling after all.
