Bah! Important meeting, but no one's free in time. And I don't know the relevant politics well enough to know whose schedule can be stepped on.

Someone should give me a lemon square and a free hour.

I was really worried that the aliens weren't getting our quality cable-only entertainment.

The hep aliens are torrenting. In fact, Bram Cohen? Probably a space clam.

What is the range of IP addresses reserved for aliens?

My guess is that most of the aliens have to wait for IPv6 to get their own IP addresses.

Now playing: Depeche Mode

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumors
but I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
and when I die I expect to find him laughing

Thinking about TV shows broadcast into space only makes me think of Futurama

Why does Ross, the largest Friend, not simply EAT the other 5?

ION, I just wish the title had an exclamation point:

The new Elton John-Bernie Taupin musical Lestat will star Hugh Panaro in the title role, with Carolee Carmello, Jack Noseworthy, Jim Stanek, Roderick Hill, Michael Genet and Allison Fischer, Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures announced Aug. 23.

According to the producers, and as previously announced, "Lestat, Anne Rice's most celebrated and beloved literary character…" The musical "is the romantic and heartbreaking story of the extraordinary journey of one man who escapes the tyranny of his oppressive family only to have his life taken from him. Thrust into the seductive and sensual world of an immortal vampire, Lestat sets out on a road of adventures in a quest for everlasting love and companionship but is forced to reconcile his innate sense of good with his primal need to exist."

"This musical is the fulfillment of my deepest dreams," said author Anne Rice, in a statement. "Elton's music and Bernie's lyrics have captured the pain and the passion of the characters perfectly, and the entire adaptation has re-created the very essence of the books. Working with the whole team -— Rob Roth, Linda Woolverton, and of course Elton and Bernie — has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my entire career. The talent, the brilliance, and the generosity of these folks is beyond belief. I'm humbled; I'm grateful; and I'm so excited that I can hardly stand it. Lestat, Louis and Claudia are about to be reborn."

Vampire musicals: Broadway GOLD!

ALmost as funny as The Woman in White as a Broadway musical, and with much, much more potential for lamé and prancing.

Shrift, there's some good SG-1 porn on Kernezelda's LJ, complete with, you know, Aliens Made Us Do It cliche.

shrift! How was your trip?

Hi, Nilly! The trip was good. Traffic was annoying, but nothing worse than I'm used to. I made merry with many Buffistas, and was sad to leave.

Now I am so buried in work that I barely can find my desk under it all.

Lestat! Or Don't Vamp Me, I'm only the Piano Player.

And of course, I'm at work, so I'm not really allowed to go there. Maybe later when I'm home, if I can tear myself away from my Deadwood DVDs.
