Personal:
- I briefly skipped over the the hometown on the weekend where I met up with a few different people and talked about comics as an industry and a way to make money. There were good conversations had and I feel positive about my career path and those of my friends and acquaintances. I also bought more comics, but that’s gonna happen anytime I set foot in Legends (my favourite comic shop). (Sorry to any friends who didn’t know I was coming to town and didn’t get to hang out with me—I wasn’t over long enough for comprensive chilling out. I’ll try to make it back for some of that soon, though.)
TV:
- Battlestar Galactica has shifted timeslots to Sunday nights now, which means that I get to wake up on Monday mornings, brew myself a cup of piping hot tea, shuffle out to the living room in my pajamas and watch a new episode of one of the best shows on TV. *aaaaaaaaahhhh* Hear that contented sigh? Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays.
- Elsewhere, it looks like the TV Gods are smiling upon me (and the rest of g33kdom, I suppose) since not only is George Clooney producing a six-hour miniseries of Neal Stephenson’s The Diamond Age for the Sci-Fi Channel (which Stepehsnon is writing the script for!), but HBO will be producing George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire as an on-going series. You may note that Diamond Age is the first Stephenson I ever read (and the book that made me a total convert) and that Song of Ice and Fire is my favourite book series of all time. I could stop drooling, but I don’t want to yet.
- Also, I watched the first few episodes of House, and for those of you who told me it was good, yes, it is.
So my week was mostly TV based. What’s your point?

I’ve seen Jeeves and Wooster before (and quite liked it, but thank you very much for reminding me–it’s a series I’ve been meaning to watch all the way through for ages and keep forgetting about. And it’s true, Fry and Laurie are amazing in it, but that could be said of most everything they do.

Comment by Lianne 01.29.07 @ 7:39 pmI guess not, but then again I’m not all hot for Six. I’d probably buy a copy if Grace Park was in it.

If you like House, you should check out the old TV series “Jeeves & Wooster”, and the novels they’re based on, by PG Wodehouse (one of douglas adams’ fav. authors). Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry did it quite perfectly.
