'As the World Turns' canceled -- latimes.com

CBS has pulled the plug on another long-running soap opera.

Just three months after "Guiding Light" aired its final episode, CBS announced Tuesday that it will end "As the World Turns" in September, after 54 years and more than 13,000 episodes. Its cancellation will leave CBS with just two soaps: daytime's most-watched serial, "The Young and the Restless," and "The Bold and the Beautiful."

And my dearly departed Mother watched at least half of them.

Crowdsourcing Comedy on Amazon Reviews

A screen shot of the Laptop Steering Wheel Desk, as sold on Amazon.com.

Every now and then, something for sale on Amazon.com seems so monumentally stupid that it inspires a spontaneous community comedy festival. One person after another leaves phony reviews, each more heartfelt and over-the-top than last, sardonically praising the Amazon item for its astonishing, life-changing abilities. Perfect strangers, entertaining each other in the comments, laughing their heads off—until Amazon gets wind of the stunt and shuts it down.

Fall has fell

At my house the leaves drop all at once, just like the whomping tree in Harry Potter.
