Askye, no, he doesn't.

I also have this question about Lestat!:

We have unified these books into a linear storyline and our intention is to make a stylish, sexy, intelligent and richly hypnotic show that is stripped of gothic clichés and that shows the vampire dealing with his damnation on a more realistic and human level. Please let me make this clear this is not a rock opera.

Is it possible to remain remotely faithful to the books and not fill the show with gothic clichés? And why not a rock opera? Lestat is a rock star, for fuck's sake!

I'm not sure how much handwaving I need to do for the show.

Hmmm. I'd say, buy a wrist brace so you don't sprain anything.

I don't remember the specific eps, but it seemed to me she would occasionally flip comms on or off as needed. I think.

Will - no. Barely.

Trying to synthesize Alias seems as futile as trying to understand the artistic coherence claimed for Lestat! the non-gothic vampire rock star musical.

bon bon has no magic in her heart.

Magic-free for over a decade. Ask me how!

Don't the A's have a huge walkup biz because everyone knows that the park never sells out? That's sort of a chicken-egg situation.

Yeah, but it's a supply and demand issue. The supply of seats is over abundant since it's really a football stadium, and the local baseball market is smaller. The new owner is a sharp businessman and has done a lot of developments and I think the condo element is what makes it financially feasible for him.

The one place it will really cost him is in post-season ticket sales which is a fat juicy golden goose.

The new park looks pretty cool, even though it's symmetrical.

Not bad looking. I presume those green shades in the outfield are basically a retractable batter's blind? I know there is a hotel attached to the park in Toronto, so that you can watch the game from your hotel room window (if you pay enough).

Don't think the Red Sox org. wasn't crying into their enormous piles of money that the World Series didn't go two more games. They lost out on a huge take from a potential game 6. Nobody would have complained if the hotdogs had been $20 apiece.

Or be watched having sex. It's very versatile.

A must share from a friend-of-a-friend's blog:

I'm at the laundromat, doing my laundry, minding my own business when I hear the single most memorable howl of frustration from this twentysomething woman around the corner. She clearly didn't know I was there, if she did, perhaps the following conversation with herself wouldn't have happened.

"I counted - goddammit, I fucking COUNTED every single one before I came here. I fucking counted AGAIN - before they went in. 18 go in - 18 should come out. How can this shit KEEP happening to ME?"

Then at the top of her lungs:

"DAMN YOU TO HELL SOCK MONSTER!!!!!!!!"

"DAMN YOU TO HELL SOCK MONSTER!!!!!!!!"

Hee! That made me laugh outloud. Once again I am glad my office is away from my bosses' offices.

18 go in - 18 should come out.

Except: two enter, one leaves.
