A Wandering Eyre

Thanks for the info, Jason.

Joss signed a seven show deal for a new series, called The Dollhouse. Our very own Whedonverse Eliza Dushku will be the leading role. She plays a woman, Echo, who can be hired to fulfill any fantasy, sexual, illegal, or sweet, but when her task is done her memory is wiped and she lives in a facility called the Dollhouse.

It sounds interesting. Joss and Eliza did an interview with Kristin Dos Santos of E! and you can imagine her squealing in joy as she wrote the piece.

–Jane, finally, we can have some good Joss sized television again

Two Firefly related news items for all my Browncoat readers.

Amazon has placed Firefly as #2 on its Sleepers and Keepers list because it has been “…selling copy after copy since the day [it was] released without ever having made industry headlines…” Shiny.

There is a sequel to Finding Serenity coming out in August. It is entitled Serenity Found. If this second collection of essays is anywhere near as good as the first, I will be a pleased lady.

After looking up some of the links in Wikipedia, I realized that the Firefly article is a “Features Article” which means out of approx. 1,796,936 articles, only 1,407 are superb. We are so very pretty.

–Jane, “One of you is gonna fall and die. And I’m not cleaning it up. “

I am working tonight and thus am home this morning with tea and the dog, watching it rain, again. Remember the show from the 80’s, the A Team? It comes on in the morning here at 8 and I had it on while I was packing my lunch and dinner. I remember loving it as a kid.

Did you ever wonder where they got all their guns and explosives?

–Jane, always liked Murdock the best for some reason

I have been passing on the radio this week in favor of pop culture fun, hence the last post and this gem.

I am counting the days until Lost starts up again in February. My friend, eprahs, sent me this video that the Lost cast made for a convention in Las Vegas. The receipt of this video proves my point that all eprahs does all day is search YouTube for clips to send to me.
Just a little bit of fun to start your day off right.

–Jane, so glad the good tv is finally kicking up again

Vacation narrative coming tonight. Be patient.

I am in the vortex that always awaits after vacation. I think I can see the outside, but I am not sure yet. Check back with me in October.

I had to laugh out loud though, because I am listening to pandora.com and “Mandy” came on. I could not help but think of the first time Angel sings for Lorne and Lorne asks him why he chose to sing “Mandy.” (and you should know that Angel can NOT sing)

I know the words. And, I think it’s kinda pretty.

And there you have it. A fan girl who relates everything to the Whedonverse. I needed the laugh today.

–Jane, thought it was kinda pretty

I am going through my feeds at the reference desk, which is incredibly dull due to it being the last Sunday of Spring Break, and I clicked through the lii sites for the week. It occurs to me, not for the first time, how timely these sites always are, frequently listing sites that deal with current issues. This week’s fare has a few sites on Polygamy and Mormons.

This might seem strange or random unless you, like I, watched HBO’s new show last Sunday called Big Love. Mr. Rochester and I are HBO watchers and it came on after The Sopranos, which also started a new season last Sunday.

Big Love looks like it is going to be interesting and unique, something that HBO always does well. Though the show does mention, negatively, polygamy compounds, the feature families are all “typical” families, except that they have one husband, one father. I am curious about the characters and where HBO will take this show. I plan on watching again tonight.

This example is yet another reason why lii is such an important resource for many, many people.

–Jane, one of me is all anyone can handle

Yet another reason I think Fox Sucks.

–Jane, damn you Fox and the WB
