Not a frequent updater am I. Things are extra-crispy busy 'round these parts, I'm afraid, and the task of journaling tends to be first out the door.
That said, a couple quick thoughts. This year's Buffy is fucking fantastic. Though last night's episode was quite good, last week's Conversations with Dead People ranks among the best ever in my book. Brilliantly scary, funny stuff.
In tangentially related news, my screenplay has gone to Allyson Hannigan and Bradley Whitford's agent for their consideration. If either (or better, both) signs on for the female or male leading role, there's quite a good chance that the project will get picked up by one of the second-tier producers. It's also gone to David Boreanaz's manager along the same lines. Buffyverse connects all over the place. I suspect that this is the first time Bradley Whitford and David B have ever been asked to look at the same part in anything.
Fingers crossed for sure.
I'll be reaching a milestone in my internet life this coming weekend - I will finally meet an online acquaintence in the flesh. Rossi's coming our way on the West Coast leg of her World Tour 2002. She will have the unenviable pleasure of sleeping on our lovely couch and communing with the cat and the rabbit. I'll also be meeting one of the very talented writer/editors of Sequential Tart, and excellent online journal about all things genre related. Also a person called Ashlan, which is one of the best online names I've heard.
All of these articles in the news about people you meet online turning out to be scary - they're wrong, right? 'Cause that Rossi... she seems a little spooky...
Reading Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, and have discovered that it deserves every bit of praise that has been heaped upon it. Absolutely essential reading for any comics fan. Trust me. You'll love it.
From a Buick 8 by Stephen King was disappointing. It seems he was trying a return to the type of horror narrative he more or less defined in the mid-eighties, and here is just falls flat.
Haven't gotten to the new Donna Tartt yet, but will post a review of The Little Friend when I have the chance. I'll also try to get out some thoughts about the new Tori album - I think I like it. I think I might like it a whole lot (though anything supplanting Tanya Donelly's Beauty Sleep is unlikely at this point in the year).
Best to all. I'll try to take less than a month this time.
