Observations on John Doe
I'd been hearing for a while that John Doe was not a half-bad little show, and what with Dominic Purcell and all, I thought it would make a nice substitute for my weekly Prison Break fix.

Buffy season 8
I like the new Buffy comic. The format is going to become annoying quickly, though. One comic feels like about ten minutes' worth of TV-story, and there's a long wait between each installment even if the production stays on schedule. (Not likely.) … [Read more...] about Buffy season 8

WorldCon starts tomorrow. I am tired.
I took the entire week off, even though I'm not flying out to L.A. until tomorrow, so I could take care of lots of little crap that's been piling up. Crap vanquished. Whee! Also cleaned off the DVR a bit; caught up on Life on Mars and about half the House episodes from last … [Read more...] about WorldCon starts tomorrow. I am tired.
