Neil Gaiman vs. Todd McFarlane via rights to Spawn.

McFarlane dicked Gaiman around big time with creation rights, royalties, verbal and/or written agreements not to further infringe on characters and so on. So far as I've ever heard or seen, Gaiman goes out of his way to be gracious and fair, and for him to pursue a case like that, there has to be flagrant and grievous dickery on McFarlane's part.

Dillo, to mr. flea at daycare pickup: "I pooped my pants. It's a cry for help."

Our fucking basement flooded last night. We had 5" of rain. I discovered this when I ran downstairs an hour ago to throw in a load of work clothes for my summer classes, which start tonight in an hour.

I have to be teaching class in an hour, and M. comes for the summer on Thursday, and my sleep sched is totally fucked up; I went to bed at 9:30 am, got up at 3:30.

GRRRRRR.

This is much like saying water is wet. Everyone I know that has dealt with McFarlane has said less than complimentary things.

Okay, Newsweek has totally geeked out.

flea, is there even an answer to that?

I never saw Dead like me -- keep meaning to watch it.

There are shows I like, and shows I didn't. There are a bunch that people have loved here - that I think I should love , but I don't. Wonderfalls and Pushing Dasies - n I could never sell them . Even though I know why I loved pushing Daisies was the language. And I kinda liked Jayne, even though I am not a slacker. I think it was the skeptic seeing something more

My parents joined a church when I was about 15. I went for awhile. And by the time my parents left -- there were a number of people that did things like pray about decorating decisions. My parents new church was a good place. And it was easy to see that it was a good place, even if I had no belief. That is my long winded way of saying I hope you find a church that you can love.

I liked the first season of Dead Like Me but I stone adored the second season where we got a lot more of the not-George cast. Loved Wonderfalls, but loved Pushing Daisies even completely more.

Currently I'm starting on the second season of Breaking Bad which is just blowing me away. I'm a lot more educated about addiction issues now, and I can see how they're working that into the series.

And what about Arrested Development?

OMFG, AD is my sister's SPN. We are at loggerheads. She might win, because everyone says that starting with the Charlize episodes is the worst ever, and her SPN issues are more insurmountable. But we face off regularly on the "well, I won't watch your show because you won't watch mine" front. And still send each other crap about them.
