I'm watching Alias and am enjoying the usual Weiss/Vaughn. They make such a damned cute couple. I love that Weiss gets Vaughn's back even when it means withholding from Nadia. Or maybe especially if it means withholding from Nadia. Weiss/Vaughn, there love is so pure.

Okay, got an issue. it's a tiny one... but basically I'm supposed to be at UCLA teaching for two days next month. I've helmed a weekend without my coteacher and I could see me doing what I need for a weekend elsewhere. Scholastic is offering to fly me to New York, put me up in a hotel and feed me to work on their advisory board for a new writing thing on that same weekend.

So Kat, is the issue whether or not to ask the coteacher to fly solo one weekend so you can do the Scholastic project? Because I think that's a totally fair thing to ask of a colleague.

Well, the issue is more that I made a commitment to be there on X weekends and I get paid to do it.

When R couldn't make it, it was because of a funeral. My reasons are far less...serious, I guess.

Yeah, I understand. I'm just thinking about the woman I run AngeLingo with, and the things that I would do for her (and vice versa).

I'll have to call her to talk about it.

My reasons are far less...serious, I guess.

I'd talk to her about it. Seriousness is not the only thing to consider. People cover for each other. It's a good thing.

Okay, also on Alias, did anyone except for me and Lori notice that the doublecrossing contact was driving what was Syd's car in Season 1?

Hmm. It has clearly been too long since I watched s1 Alias. I must do something about this over the summer.

You only need to see the pilot cause I think that's the last time we we've seen that car.

Does anyone else see a remarkable resemblence between Sam and Ben Affleck ?
