    Working on the toilet would be worse. One can manage without a bath (smelly, I know) but having the toilet unusable makes life really difficult. Fortunately, it’s the smallest room in the house, so work there usually doesn’t take more than a few weeks.

    We seldom hear the carrot’s side of the story.

    My son and I loved the show. (How can you not when it uses “long chain hydrocarbons” in the lyrics of a song?)But we were irritated by the way Perry was drawn with a scaly beaver tail.

    Dolores Umbridge is a character who makes her first appearance in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Read it and watch the film. You will hate her.

    Villains are usually more interesting than heroes. Better prose style, too.

    Ora, if you are going to be a villain, go for upper mid-level villain.

    Supervillains (Ernst Blofeld, Voldemort, the brutal dictator) are all pretty much the same. They want world domination (or the tri-state area, in the case of Heinz Doofenshmirtz), they are pontificating show-offs, and they are actually a bit boring.

    Bottom level villains are usually just dim thugs (though British ones will sometimes hold long, complicated, philosophical debates) and are just there to be defeated.

    But the upper mids are interesting, and usually much scarier or nastier than the super villain. Dolores Umbridge is utterly horrible (and Imelda Staunton gave a master class in acting), Bolo (Enter the Dragon) is terrifying, and Police Captain Menendez, with his polite, perfect, English, and his pencil-thin moustache, is the real danger you face in Mixambigua.

    They get plenty of screen time, and, most of the time, pretty good lines, too.

    That’s my career advice.

    Now everything is doomed.

    Calvin’s father is a patent lawyer, so Calvin knows what is and isn’t patented.

    I doubt that OZ has the temperament for that method. Iggy could do it.

    Send them back to the sea, where they belong.
