Cereal (Killer):
Well, you know, why take two embarassing pictures when I can kill them both in one shot?
It's just the latest in a series of bad strike pictures of me. Craig took one at the rally that I wanted to burn.
And I totally would have burned it. Except I'd probably be expected to replace his iPhone after I'd lit it on fire.
Well, talking's something.
(Clearly it was the addition of our support that has brought this about)
Clearly my podcast appearance has broken the stalemate. Thank me later.
I thought it was the power of my mind.
Now that's what I call results.
Good job, Tim. Your podcast is mighty.
Now go buy Jane Espenson a cookie.
Okay, maybe it really was Tim's podcast. He mentioned quarterlife and I just got this email:
Series Pick Up Alert
Network: NBC
Genre: Drama
Title: quarterlife
Studio: quarterlife, inc
Commitment: Series Pick Up (6 Episodes)
Auspices: Marshall Herskovitz (D-Pilot, EP, W-Pilot), Edward Zwick (EP, W-Pilot), Joshua Gummersall (P N/W)
Logline: A one-hour series created from episodes of the MySpaceTV.com series that takes on the crucial years between 20 and 30, when so many of life’s important decisions are made. The “quarterlife” series tells the ongoing stories of six creative people in their twenties. As with Herskovitz’s and Zwick’s earlier television series, at the center of “quarterlife” is a commitment to realism, the recognition of universal human themes through the truthful depiction of the way young people speak, work, think, love, argue, and just goof around. Starting with Dylan, a young woman whose overly truthful video blog (on quarterlife.com of course) spills the closest secrets of her friends, the show’s characters – filmmakers Danny and Jed, actress-bartender Lisa, geek-extraordinaire Andy, and still-tied-to-her-parents Debra – chart the sometimes excruciating, sometimes comic, often emotional experiences that comprise coming of a! ge as part of the digital generation.
Notes: quarterlife runs as 36 8-minute episodes that premiere every Thursday and Sunday.on MySpace, quarterlife.com, and is also available on YouTube, Facebook, Imeem and Bebo. Series Premiere Date: Early 2008. Originally developed at ABC for the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 seasons. In addition to airing quarterlife as a second run on NBC television network, it will be streamed on NBC.com and NBC will become a distribution partner, helping with DVD and foreign sales. Series is privately financed and owned by Edward Zwick, Marshall Herskovitz and other investors.
