It's Fishnet Friday!

The return of Futurama has been most welcome in my circle of friends. I missed the weird mix of pop-culture colliding with that twisted view of the Future.

Little did I know that I would have fishnets appear constantly! I guess they were always there in the dark and geeky things I love.
