I have to get up beore God tomorrow. Have a huge VIP coming in and somehow I agreed to an 8:30 "demo".
We don't have a demo. We'll be winging it.
Crap.
Bunnies frighten me.

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.

It's all the talk amongst my non-buffista friends too, so yay!
My chatty!co-worker said to me, a few weeks ago, "Have you heard of the new show Pushing Daisies? It's the same guy who did Wonderfalls."
I said, "I didn't know you watched Wonderfalls!"
C!c-w: "All 4 episodes, you mean? Yeah."
Me: "Uh, I have the DVDs with the remaining unaired episodes -- want to borrow them?"
That was a bit of serendipitous coincidence.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
But the music and the narration made me want to kill myself with the precious.
So it would probably be My Sort of Thing. (Especially with the Tim Burton comment about it from upthread!) I guess I should try to catch it.

Lee Pace is marvellous! I find the show a bit precious, but for Lee Pace I'll sit through it. He's who John Cusack should have grown up to be.
According to the IMDB page for Pushing Daisies, apparently Adam Brody was considered for Lee Pace's part. I *think* he could have pulled it off, but he would have had a lot of Seth Cohen-ness to get out from under.
But Lee Pace doesn't really have that kind of role recognition, so he just does his thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think Brody could have done a good job (and by typing it that way, I'm also thinking of Adrien Brody, but he'd have to get over himself first). But I'm so glad Lee's got it.
Lunch today is a very sour apple and a buttered bagel. And water. My stomach's being weird again.
I think I may aim to use public transport or walk a bit more often now that I've proven neither option is immediately fatal.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think AB is a-freaking-dorable, and can do the dry wit thing, but there's sort of a resignedness that LP does. He puts a hint of Eyeore in the role.

Lee Pace is simply perfect.

Sigh. I wish your DVD player liked my DVDs. I'll make you guys watch it.

Punishingly Intricate
Who was the narrator?
He's the same guy who does the Harry Potter books on tape. I want to say Jim Dale (am too lazy to look up).

But then! Those brief flashes of undiluted utter delight. Truly, I think it's those wee glimpses of utter delight that got me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I thought he sounded familiar, but I don't think I ever listened to a Harry Potter book on tape.
