Despair! I've been trying to come to terms with last Sunday's general election results in Finland (seriously, what's wrong with people?!) by completely immersing myself in fandom.

Hospital Central is back! I couldn't be happier to, once again, get my weekly dose of Spanish TV crack, but man, the first episode of Season 18 was depressing. It was 80 minutes of death, angst and more death. Oh, and Maca hotness, of course, but that one's kind of a given.
