I have a good rant worked up, but I really don't feel like posting it. So instead, a meme I thought of, that I'm curious to see if it catches on.
List four things that you think would be true in a different, cooler universe. They could be big things, tiny things, anything that you think would make the universe be cooler and more interesting.
1: Magic. I mean, seriously, dude.
2: Art deco style buildings being more common. Maybe I'm just biased by a childhood of watching Batman: The Animated Series, but they look freaking awesome.
3: Flying cars and/or zeppelins in common use. Because they were promised to us by every sci-fi and/or pulp story ever.
4: The Laws Have Changed should have gotten lots of radio play. Because dude, that song is TOTALLY amazing, and better than any of the teeny-pop Brittney-clones.
And that's all there is to it. No tagging, none of that silly stuff. Let's see how this goes. [Edit: Though, obviously, to spread, you'd have to post your picks in your journal.]

Space exploration. 'Nuff said.
