Art Crawl!!!

Here I am! On the board, at home!

Because I ordered a new computer and it got to me at least a week before it was expected.

I would have been online last night except that once I got all set up, I realized that I'd completely forgotten the dial-up number and it was too late to try university information.

The firewall is still downloading but I needed to see everyone.

David your Friday night viewing plan sounds like it was excellent. I am still home on Fridays and got to watch most of a Nightstalker marathon (it was the original one). There was a Satanically possessed politician, one with werewolves, a vampire one, a UFO, Zombies and Jack the Ripper. Fun. I love how the orginial Nightstalker has people with faces full of character rather than just pretty people. All in preparation for the premiere on Scifi of the remake. I also watched the pilot of Dead Like Me which had the effect of making me miss Wonderfalls. Also, who knew it was Steve Bacic night on Cable? He was on Whistler AND on Psyche. He appears to be recurring on Whistler.

Also, Paula Deen has the Carters on her show again.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, Brenda, that is scary. Cool-ma to you and your girl. Does she sleep behind the toilet when it gets hot? Mac always does that.

I thought the worst of the heat was over but it looks like we're going to remain in the 90's with high humidity this week. Payday comes Wednesday and Mac is lined up for a trip to the groomers. Looks be damned, she's getting shaved. Although I'm not 100% certain of her breeding, she's definitely got some sort of cold-weather dog, since she prefers the snow and has a very thick undercoat. I don't dare let her stay out too long in the heat (even though we're not really active).

Yeah, that's Lucy all right. She's in the bathroom sleeping on the tile now. The good thing with her is that she really won't push it in the heat - once it hits 70, she walks down the street like she's a hundred, and nothing short of a bunny rabbit will speed her up. But this elevator thing threw a wrench into the works.

We're supposed to be pretty darn hot until the end of the week.

Stoopid elevator. There's no time-travelling English Duke staying in your building, is there?

I'm contemplating a nap since my head hurts this morning. Headaches are starting to re-occur but I don't know if it's sinus, stress or that fact that Owen's current favorite game is SLAM THE DOORS REALLY LOUDLY.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Aww, brenda, poor Lucy! Hope she's feeling better.

It was hot for a while here, but the last couple of days have been downright temperate. Enjoy it while I can, I guess.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

OMGOMGOMG.

In case anyone missed it when it aired (likely, because SciFi did exactly zero promotion, from what I can tell), go to SciFi.com NOW and watch the pilot of The Amazing Screw-on Head and then take the survey and tell them to make more!

Reasons to watch this show:

  • based on a comic by Mike Mignola
  • produced for TV by Bryan Fuller
  • Amazing Screw-on Head is voiced by Paul Giamatti
  • Emperor Zombie voiced by David-Hyde Pierce
  • Steampunk, wheeeeee!!!
  • Emperor Zombie has vampire minions
  • Has characters named Amazing Screw-on Head and Emperor Zombie
  • who have a deep and entangled past
  • contains oodles of Whedon-like snark in the form of exchanges like:

Emperor Zombie: You went on an on about how sweet the candy was, and then told me not to put it in my mouth, and got mad at me when I did!
Screw-on Head: If by "candy" you mean "ancient forbidden evil," then yes, I told you not to put it in your mouth!

And so on. You can watch the whole thing free online, and then there's a survey where you can tell them how much you liked it and please please please make more. Go! Watch!
