I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, my, James Marsters is going to be at DragonCon again. Looks like I'll be staying the hell away from the Buffy track. I'm also picturing Jets and Sharks-style fights between the Marsters fangirls and the Michael Shanks fangirls.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

What fool wouldn't want their own personal cat army?

I need to make out with this sentence.

Happy birthday Dana!

AHAHAHAHAHAHA.

If this happens, I'm shoving Kevin Sorbo between the two groups. Just watch me.

I'm going to be very cranky if JM's security detail tries to take me down for trying to get to the elevator this year.

That would be awesome.

"Daniel came back from the dead!"

"So did Spike!"

"Daniel saved the world!"

"So did Spike!"

"Hi, I'm Kevin Sorbo. I played TV's Hercules. Who also died and saved the world. Would you like an autograph?"

One of my (many) cognitive disconnects with fandom is that Michael Shanks is the name of a scholar of archaeological theory whose work I read frequently when I was a graduate student. As you can see from his home page at Stanford ( [link] ), he would not be the first choice to cast in a TV show.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Whoot! I presold another 46 books last week.

No, it's perfect! Daniel Jackson is an archaeologist. Sort of.

But does he write post-modernist theory and do *performance works* related to archaeology?

Also, is he better looking?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

An archaeologist with a leg holster.

Mrrowr.

Unrelatedly, I need to work out how to get my heart rate down.
