Yeah you know me.
What would you want to write about Spike?

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

"Don' be e-scared"
Kat, what about Mann's "The Last Of The Mohicans"? The director's cut on DVD is kind of wonderful. And, and here I'm probably going to shame myself, but Joss dug it too, when I turned him onto it -- the musical 1776? I adore it. (And I know it's not only kid-friendly, but kids should love it, because I did in 1972 when it came out. I remember seeing it at Radio City Music Hall when I was nine and being spellbound. Funny clothes, wigs and all. Or maybe that was the Rockettes...)

Could've been the Rockettes. I'm trying to picture my Very Urban middle school kids (and I'm told at my new school the kids are rougher than my old, which I don't understand. New school is in Silverlake. Old school was in South Central. How can that be true?) handling any musical. Kids should love musicals, and god knows I loved Carousel enough to buy the record (LP, natch) with my lunch money... but I don't know why I think they won't.
Last of the Mohicans, though, is a totally good call.
Also, while I'm here kvetching about historical movies, can I just say Hayden Christensen and Mischa Barton in the Decameron makes me want to take sharp pokey objects and jam them into my eyes.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Get a couple drinks in her & she says it to all the boys.
Even milkshakes?

New school is in Silverlake. Old school was in South Central. How can that be true?
Old school has street cred. New School is has to be twice as rough to be half as cred-worthy. And still not so much.

But that's just so.... so... wrong. I don't want that to be true. I want 12 year olds that have NO street cred, thanks.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Also, I had lunch with Joss and he asked me if I wanted to write and direct some blonde vampire movie thing. Should I do it?
Wow, so the offer was literally on the table.

No shame there. I love it too.

Actually the rosemary chicken was on the table.

I just put Alexander Hamilton and Albion's Seed on hold at the library. They will hopefully show up on my desk early next week. There are times when I really LOVE working in a library!

Whoot! Even if it isn't Serenity 2.

Art Crawl!!!
I'm guessing we have to wait for the first Serenity to do really well before there's a second one.
