Astonishing X-Men #5

Wednesday, September 15th, 2004

There’s a link at Whedonesque to the five preview pages of the next Astonishing X-Men. I admit, I looked – spoilers be damned! Actually they just pretty much had me going “huh?” And they don’t pick up with the cliffhanger moment at the end of AXM #4. I guess they don’t return to that story [...]

I’m going to hell…

Tuesday, September 14th, 2004

Ran across this story today and laughed my foreskin off… The holy Prepuce – Cut (no pun intended) for possibly offensive references, but I think it’s just kinda funny. The Holy Prepuce (or Holy Foreskin) is one of the various relics purported to be associated with Jesus Christ. Orthodox Christian belief has it that Jesus [...]

Three down, one to go…

Tuesday, September 14th, 2004

So I just finished the third (very informal) interview with Sundance. It went well. The woman who called me, Virginia, started off by apologizing a lot for calling me later than she was supposed to, but I laughed politely and told her it was more than okay and I was available to talk right then. [...]

Happy Birthday to *-*-*ann1962″>. One of those sparkling souls who has made me and so many others feel welcome and loved in LJ land.

Monday Morning

Finished off my Angel DVDs last night. The thing about the marathon viewing – heightens the emotional impact for me. I think I first started blubbering like a baby during the Connor scene with Coma Action Figure Cordy at the church in “Peace Out.” Of course, it hit me again during the Angel/Connor confrontation in [...]

Angel S4 Marathon continues

Sunday, September 12th, 2004

So, now I’ve watched all the way through the end of “Inside Out” on my new Angel DVDs. I don’t want to do a long detailed analysis, but just some random observations. The False Happy Upon marthon watching, I’m surprised at how often this technique is used throughout the season. We open “Seep Down” with [...]

The weather in Vegas is starting to turn a bit chilly. We’re dropping down into the low 80s (which is chilly when we were over 100 just a few weeks ago). Oh, the winter in Utah is going to seem a thousand times colder than it did when I was growing up. I got pissed [...]

From an A.P. Story… In [Howard] Dean’s “You Have The Power,” centrist Democrats get much of the blame for allowing right-wing Republicans to rise to national power. Dean also complains that reporters and editors give too much attention to campaign strategy and not enough to the issues. Amen. Following the news over the last few [...]

Angel S4 Love!

Friday, September 10th, 2004

Yay! My Angel DVDs arrived yesterday. It’s surprising to me how bittersweet watching the early S4 eps is knowing what comes later. I mean, the teaser for “Deep Down” is just so very much more poignant after having seen the end of “Home.” “The House Always Wins” hurts my head. Especially when the FG does [...]

That went well…

Wednesday, September 8th, 2004

So, I just had another interview for the position with the Sundance Film Festival and at the end, Patrick pretty much said that he wanted to hire me. I shouldn’t have said that. I’ll jinx it. They have a formal 4-interview process I guess (next interview tomorrow or Friday with a woman from another department [...]
