Rest well Kirstie Alley, am glad I got to see you on Galaxycon some time back.

Jesus... What's with this recent spate of celebrities passing away?

Cancer that wasn't diagnosed until quite recently I read.

I never like hearing that.... about anyone. It's like.... that's the kind of "aggressive" disease that is just unfair and awful and should have global resources poured into to stop. Sabotaging, creeping around you, silent cancer. It's a blight on life. Literally.

Sadly there's no money to be made in curing. The big bucks come from letting people fight it as long as they can. I'm pretty sure anyone that actually finds the cure for it would be found dead before they can spread the word.

Anyways damn, Kristie Alley too? Damn.
