'Shindig'
[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.
Serenity update
Can't tell you anything about the film, but at GenCon, the Serenity the RPG based on the movie is selling beaucoup numbers. They sold out yesterday and were going to airship more for today. Passed along to me from a colleague at the show.
I remember being annoyed with AYNOHYEB. I can't remember why. Kristen talked me off the ledge.
"Theater of the mind." That's what they called it. Also, when a kid, here in LA on KPFK was Mike Hodel's "Hour 25." Great radio every Friday night. Like 3 hours of SF, horror and fantasy. With guests like Ellison, Sturgeon and Harv Bennet. They'd often play old radio in there somewhere. Radio is better than TV.
Kristen talked me off the ledge.
You're so cute when you're being polite.
Allyson, you always get annoyed at the things I think turn out the nearest to my intent. Why is that? Okay, maybe not "always." OOG didn't annoy you, right?
Hope I fixed her name before she read that.
That's all I remember.
Also, I have a new phone, and some people didn't transfer. You were one of them, so apparently, according to my new phone, you are dead to me.
My new phone is pink and matches my iPod. Other than that, I have no idea how it works.
Radio is faboo, especially on long car trips. You'd think somebody could start a radio soap opera during commute hours. Every day, 5:30-6, characters get murdered, give birth, whatever, with just enough overlap that people stay oriented if they miss a day.
We had The Shadow LPs when I was growing up; my husband and I listened to the cassettes.
I miss radio voices; that generation is dying off, but the magnificent voices that newscasters needed during the radio years were amazing.
I liked AYNOHYEB. It more than met my Angel viewing criteria (great stand-alone story and furthered various arcs), but I didn't really start reading fandom criticisms until Angel S4 so I may have missed plenty.
Wait. Which one of us is dead to you?
'Cause, you know, if it's me, you're gonna start spending a lot of time out on those ledges.
