"Fine, World, Be That Way"
 
   Lately it seems like I keep running across things I enjoy just before they end, or even more annoyingly, I get into them and then discover that they have already ended, usually not long before. The book gets canceled, the series ends, the band breaks up, whatever.

In the last 24 months, just off the top of my head, this pattern has applied to:

- The Bill
- The musical stylings of Fall Out Boy
- Phill Jupitus and Phil Wilding's podcast, The Perfect Ten
- X-23's solo book
- Stephanie Brown as Batgirl
- That's all I can think of, but I'm sure there's something else. (In particular, I'm quite certain there's been more than one band this has happened with in the last two years, but I can't think of the other(s) right now.)

Mind you, this only applies to stuff I hadn't been aware of before. Long-running things that I've been on board with for the duration, and which ultimately run their course, are a different experience altogether. It's always a bit sad when that happens, but when it's something I've just discovered, there's an element of... I don't know, disappointment, that gives the whole thing a sharper kick than it would otherwise have had.

I realize impermanence is an integral part of life, and that nowhere is this more true than in the world of pop culture, but this is getting ridiculous.
