I am beside myself with joy about the Leverage news!!! It definitely bumps a Leverage rewatch higher in my personal queue.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Aldis has made such strides, and he's so damned talented I don't doubt he'll make Sterling K levels of big. Okay, *now* I'm wanting to see both of them in something together.

Yay Leverage! That's the best news I've read all month.

Y'all. You know how online retail therapy is huge? We're seeing order volume over what we have seen in December. FedEx is having capacity issues. And our staff has been cut in half because ll that is not enough to make up for the lost revenue from all the closed stores. These are weird times, I tell you what.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't even know where to put this, but they're rebooting Leverage, with all of the original cast members except Timothy Hutton returning.
That's some happy news! I doubt they can recapture the magic of original early Leverage, but I have high hopes anyway. I'm eh on Noah Wylie, but I'm there for the original cast members and the original producers.
I was interested in seeing Parker the Mastermind and so I'm excited about that
That's what I really want to see.
I want them all sick, then I feel guilty for the thoughts.
I don't feel guilty about it anymore. The latest round of protests killed all compassion I had for these malevolent fools. The only ones I feel bad for are the health care workers who are gonna risk their lives to take care of them, and the other innocent people they'll infect.
I have to find something to do that takes me out of my head, so that I don't become this bitter, vengeful person, but I don't want to do anything.
Me too, Cindy. The only thing keeping me from becoming a bitter vengeful person is that I'm too tired to be that angry.
My youngest niece lives in Atlanta and is worried about the state opening up. She works in a museum with only 3 co-workers and no customer contact, and her SO works from home, so we're trying to believe she'll be okay. My oldest niece is immunocompromised but she's quarantining like, um, literally like her life depends on it; she's taking it more seriously than any of us, I think. my sister is 70, she's working from home and semi-retired but her SO is an "essential" government wmployee and has to go out to work. My BFF and her daughter live in stupid Tennessee and she works in a grocery store. Katie works at a hotel in Seattle, but thankfully night shift so few customers. I'm constantly worried about them. I can barely function. I'm holding it together long enough to do my job, and then I collapse at 5pm and struggle to come back to life in time to go to work again. Though honestly I've been living like that for years; the pandemic didn't cause my depression, it's just made it worse.
I went a little stir-crazy yesterday and left the house. Filled up the tank with cheap gasoline, went into the little market to grab lunch (the cashier was wearing a mask), then went through McDonald's drive-thru for a milkshake. Both places had plexiglas shields between cashier and customer. But no one else I saw had a mask on. That's enough for me; I'm back to quarantining.

John Rogers tweeted "Your OT3 is safe," which makes me SO HAPPY.

Oh, that IS good news. If Rogers is involved in any capacity, yes.

He and his producing partner Dean Devlin are coming on in consulting roles, which realistically means Executive Producer credit, but Wylie is set to be the day to day showrunner; the three of them developed a multiyear partnership with the Librarians franchise, so it's not too surprising that Wylie's into it this much, and that Rogers and Devlin trust him with it!
Happy Wednesday, ya'll. I wish you as much coffee as I would like to have in my hands right now.
