Isn't that difficult at times, especially since you've said that you've got the
entire episode written in your head before setting finger to keyboard? 

Read ASM 54 yesterday.  Fun mix of philosophy ("Maybe I worry too much"),
cynicism ("Ebay") and romance ("...keeping my heart from exploding..") all just
on the first few pages.  Good stuff there, thanks.
