'Hell Bound'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I caught an episode one late night. Jewel Staite as Da Vinci's horny teenage daughter was amusing.
In other news you people got me googling old college friends. So far I've learned that my senior year boyfriend is a middle school principal, one friend is chair of the theatre dept at a college in NC and his wife (also a friend) teaches at Wake Forest, and another is a well know X-Files fic writer. Oh my.
Alright! Season pass acquired!
I was listening to a podcast about Damon Lindelhof accepting a comic writing gig (all the cool kids are doing it, it seems), and in talking about Lost he mentioned that they have a rotating cast of directors who come into town for a couple weeks, and don't know so much about the show as the people who're they're all the time.
Why is that? Why is so much of the production attached to the show, but directors aren't? Is it because the things we'd look for in a film direction are imposed over them, and their job is more transparent? Honestly, only in the Whedonverse did I notice who directed what, but we were kinda tied into the nuances there.
Seems odd, what with all the effect a director can have, and for good.
Christmas cake came today. I do at least have that ritual, even if I have nothing else.
I don't know, ita. It seems weird to me, too.

But the Christmas cake is evil, and made me sniffly.
WHY AM I NOT SLEEPY
House just wigged me with the bone marrow transplant . I hate when shows hit my personal buttons that have absolutely nothing to do with the show and are just my buttons.
Skiping lots and poking head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Typo Boy's birthday. Happy birthday! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Happy birthday Gar!
Hi Nilly!
Happy Birthday, Gar!
Birthday happies, Gar!
Short me-me-ME! moment:
So, hivemind-ish question: Anyone know a pithy phrase (or perhaps even a German word) that means "Don't bitch about your time on until you stop pissing away your time off"?
I'm looking for a new tagline that I'm going to preface with "Memo to self:" and if someone's got something better than the above, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, I'm going with what I got.
Other than the Somervillista gathering in honor of Deb's visit, which was just a great time and I'm so glad I got to meet her, I pretty much wasted another weekend doing bupkis and I'm getting sick of it. I'm amazed I even got around to digging my car out (though I think that ended up doing more harm to me than good to my car).
Happy Birthday, Gar!
