(there was a bit of trouble with it -- the studio wasn't happy that it was a paid event -- but I think it's worked out now).
Lesson learned. It's better to ask forgiveness than permission.
Check.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?
You'd think they'd like the publicity, especially with DVDs coming out in December.
Apparently now we're paying $10 to see an unreleased Macy Gray video, and we get to see two Wonderfalls episodes free of charge. This amuses me.

It's the unions. If they are charging admission to the public to see the eps, the unions want a cut. Or something.
That was the excuse I got, anyway.
When Amber Benson was selling Chance, you were getting a free copy of the movie by paying sixty bucks for a signed poster.
That was my final idea for showing at the WGA theatre. A $25 autographed something gets you free admission.
But then we all gave up and Tim went to the Moon.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Wonder how Tim is doing with his mooning?

Just low blood sugar. Ate a Snickers. Thanks for coming.
Looks like Ellen Muth and Callum Blue from DLM are going to be at the San Diego ComicCon too. Wish I could go, sounds like it's going to be awesome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm listening to Polyphonic Spree's "Have A Day / Celebratory" for the first time in ages. This song was used for the Wonderfalls ad campaign. It's making me all sad and stuff--a beautiful song that held out the promise of a brilliant show to come.
But on the bright side, the brilliance was recognized by some, and also: DVDs!

Damn, Ellen Muth and Callum Blue, Joss Whedon, and the Wonderfalls screening all in a row on the same day... that's so great. That's almost everything I wanted to see. And now I don't know if I can go!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What? What happened? I thought it was a lock! Damn.
Soon, I will be watching Dead Like Me. Thank you, Netflix.

Yeah, having trouble with the plane ticket part of things. Maritime Canada is a very difficult place to fly out of in summer; there don't seem to be any award miles tickets available and regular flights to LA are around $900 (Canadian), which is too much.
I think you'll like DLM, and watch for all the little phrases (like "fate's bitch" and "unspool") it has in common with Wonderfalls.

Post-pilot, I think I'm going to love Dead Like Me. For the first half hour, all I could think was how similar it was to Wonderfalls (the opening sequence is very similar stylistically, and the main character is like a younger, blonde Jaye), but after George dies, and we start learning more about the premise of the show, it becomes its own beast. I'm loving all the rules of the universe (in one damn episode, it's defined its universe to a better extent than an entire season of Tru Calling ). Also, Mandy Patinkin! I'd never seen him as anyone but Inigo Montoya, but he's completely different here. And in a Minear connection, Rebecca Gayheart was originally cast as Inara.
I can't wait for more episodes to come, but between this and Wonderfalls, Bryan Fuller's definitely got my loyalty.
