I have wondered if cold is the right word here, particularly since my body temperature always runs a little cold. I'm fairly sure it's not the bird flu, anyway, though such would explain the feathers.
Stitch the movie and the TV series are all right, with the occasional lovely character design and occasional marvelous dialogue (like the nurse at the clinic saying to Pleakley, ``Take a number,'' and his overjoyed response, ``They're free?!'') ... but, yeah, mostly it's a pretty mundane version of the movie. Sometimes an episode will build the plot to dizzying over-the-top conclusions, but for the most part it's lessons about being honest or not worrying about how many friends you have as long as you have a couple good ones or whatnot.
A Vonnegut interview sounds interesting. Oddly enough I've never read anything past the short story length of his, but I've enjoyed those.
