Disney's loss, Kristen. Now if only the studio would give me a job.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

[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, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I really do bear them no ill will. (On this front. I am happy to bear them ill will on your behalf, if necessary, Tamara.) I'm just tickled by the timing.
ETA: Or, really, by most everything these days.

I'm so pleased for the tickledness.
I will force the Disney behemoth to its knees eventually and they will allow me to leave the hell of consumer products. It is only a matter of time. Then I can safely escape the kool-aid drinking zombies.
Have a magical day.
ETA: everyone knows I was forced to say that at gunpoint. Right?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Kristen, that is funny, be it mileage or meterage that is varying.
Hey, Tim, I found someone else who likes That Old Gang of Mine.
Hey, I like it!

Heh. The new actress was in a movie called Itty Bitty Titty Committee.
I didn't realize so many parts were being recast. That's weird. Is this unusual? I mean, I've heard of one or two characters being recast from a pilot, but this is something like six so far.

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.
Actually, it's more like eleven. Twelve if you count Taryn Manning who's switching roles.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
That's too bad. I like Alan Ruck. From the looks of his IMDB page though it's not like he's hurtin for work.

Just found this in an interview with Sean Ryan:
“I don’t know if you’re familiar with Tim Minear’s work. He and I have he same manager and agent. And it was like 1994-95 and I’d written a spec ‘Cheers’ and a spec ‘Friends’ and a spec ‘NYPD Blue’ and I was getting meetings but I just could not get a job. No one was hiring me to be on a staff. I was getting depressed. I was like, ‘I don’t want to go to business school, for God’s sake.’ Because I had been an economics major in college. But what I was doing wasn’t working.
“So I called up my agent and I said, ‘Obviously, I’m doing something wrong. What script do you have that is getting one of your clients constant meetings or constant jobs? And can I read that script?’ And he gave me Tim Minear’s ‘X-Files’ spec script.
“What I realized after reading that was that my scripts were sort of great in places, and the rest of it was sort of good. And Tim’s script, it was great from page 1 to page 57 or whatever it was. You could tell he’d worked hard on every page. And I said to myself, that’s what I need to do. I could write a good spec script very easily. But it was a lot of hard work to write a great one.”
