Speaking of which, it's that time of year again, when I ask if you're going to Burbank.

Oy, I don't know. I'll have to take a look at flights, see if I can do a crazy fly in Friday night and fly out Sunday morning for cheap things...

Stealth mode again, more so than last time, since I'm not on any panels (yay).

Someone e-mailed me about co-hosting a panel or an event or something. I haven't stopped laughing long enough to say no.

God, I'm a bad person.

Great, now I'm picturing Chewie dressed in D'Argo's stud-pilot outfit.

Wookkiee slam-dance!

Raise your hand if you think Rupert Murdoch makes any of these sorts of programming decisions, or has ever seen Tru Calling, or even knows who Eliza Dushku is.

Nope, but that's the Sun for you. Appalling rag.

No one ever asks ME!!! hurumph. Instead, they have Firefly panels where no one has actually seen Firefly. Pft.

They know they can't afford the extra security that would be required.

Yeah, so I thought the show really blew at first...

Allyson, do you WANT to host a panel at a Farscape convention? 'Cause, I'm sayin', I think I could hook you up.

And I've been to that Firefly panel. Actually, only one panelist hadn't seen the show, but the panelists were all woefully uninformed nevertheless. So I had an impromptu panel in the back of the room and told everybody about the DVDs and the extras and whatnot. Which the panelists could have done had they, I dunno, e-mailed Tim. What a wacky idea.

But that was last year. This year, we got Adam and Nathan and Jewel. They made up for the gaffe with ridiculous amounts of pretty.

I hear that he's really hard to find on the world wide web.

Hmmm. Do they give me a whacking stick? I can hold court, right?

I don't think you even have to email, you can just yell really loud.

HEY TIM. I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR YA. SIGNED, REALLY BIG FONT

Well, when I had lunch with Rupert last week, Eliza's name did come up, and ...

Perhaps I've said too much.

Once again, I am thinking that watching Allyson is better than most reality shows on TV these days.

And you didn't convince him that real men eat fugu for lunch to prove how manly they are?

It just occurred to me that Godzilla would carve up into really big sushi.
