Popping into my mind today was the thought of watching ?United States of Tara,? starring Toni Collette and Rosemarie DeWitt and created by Diablo Cody, because I dig what all three of those artists do.

I don’t know how many of you are analog (as in non-video) game designers, but man, that is not an easy industry to work in.
