Oooh, Video of the WonderCon panel with Joss, Adam, Summer, and Nathan on the Browncoat website! Check it out: High-Res WMV, High-Res mov, Low-Res WMV, or Low-Res mov. And here‘s another nifty Serenity article. Nothing we haven’t heard before, but it’s nice that it’s keeping a media presence. (And they list Zoe’s last name as Warren. Feh. I still prefer it to “Washburn.”)

Also, Joss won’t be directing X3 (the job will go to Matthew Vaughn, director of LAYER CAKE), but in two days (at least, according to AICN), we’ll have a decision re: Wonder Woman!

The QSA folks needed the QSA and QPenn websites up by this afternoon. I knew they needed to be early this week, but they let me know about this deadline late last night. I spent last night working on my storyboards for Animation class.

They sent me the content this morning, after I spent all break asking them for it.

They sent my the FTP passwords at 3:30 this afternoon.

I had class from 9-12.

FINISHED BEFORE GOING TO CLASS AT 4:30.

Yeah, I’m awesome.

WHEEEEEE!! From Lost-TV.com:

LOST Hiatus Cut Short? It appears that instead of new episodes starting to air after 5 weeks of reruns on April 13, new episodes will air on March 30 and April 6. So instead of having four more weeks of reruns followed by the last new episodes of the first season, we’ll (probably) have two more weeks of reruns followed by two weeks of new episodes, then two weeks of reruns again, and finally the last four episodes of Season One.

*does a merry dance of joy*

Of course, this is also exceptionally annoying, because there were going to be no Lost episodes until Lady in the Dark was over, which would have been nice and non-distracting, and now Lost is returning the night before we open, but oh well. I’m certainly not complaining! Also, check out the DVD box art. Snazzy.

Oh! Did I mention that I saw Bride and Prejudice with Chungy the other night? I had seen bits of it at school on a dorm movie night (before it came out — gotta love the New Jersey Indian piracy industry, apparently). Anyway, I hadn’t realized that due to my lateness that night, I had missed more than half of it (I came in at the start of the “No Life Without Wife” song, for those that have seen the movie), and most notably, I had missed all the great Naveen Andrews moments. Mmmmm, Naveen Andrews. My enjoyment of the movie increased several hundred fold. Afterward, Chungy and I watched all the Lost episodes she hadn’t seen: “House of the Rising Sun” and the four episodes that aired since Christmas break. So much love. Hurrah!

Comments answered, because I am lame and can’t stick to a schedule:

Keith: I’ll have to leave the Terry Jones thing in time for rehearsal at 7, but I’ll do my best to get a friend or roommate to sign something for you.

Burkhead: Bite me. I don’t like Macs, but that doesn’t mean I have resentment for all Apple products.

Mon: Are you still agent_starling_1999? I’ll email you the address of the girl that hooked me up with the Chance DVD. Because everyone should witness the “Whaaa?” that is Spike/Tara.

Alright, who’s the goofball that told me Dave McKean’s last name was pronounced as three syllables (McKEE-an vs McKEEN)? Dork, I’ve been pronouncing it wrong for the last several months because of you! I was right the first time! *fishslaps shadowy, anonymous figure*

Meanwhile, I cannot WAIT until Anansi Boys comes out! The portions that Neil read at this appearance were utterly hilarious. Danke to Beth for the link!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Dear English majors and minors and Austinians,

I write with exciting news. The Department of English, in coordination with the English Undergraduate Advisory Board and Hamilton College House, have managed to get Terry Jones [of Monty Python fame] to come to Penn on March 23rd. He’ll be doing a talk from his most recent book, entitled “Who Murdered Chaucer?” Jones, it turns out, is both funny and scholarly, and the lecture really is (in Pythonesque) manner about Chaucer.

The event will be March 23rd at 6:00 pm, in the rooftop lounge of Hamilton College House. We’re expecting a capacity crowd, so come early.

Jones will be on hand with his two new books and (hopefully others), signing books, and selling books. If you own any Monty Python books or records, you might want to get them signed (after you politely buy a new book!)

We’re working at Hamilton, between now and then, to schedule several Monty Python films. We’ll keep you posted on this.

Do come.

Michael Gamer
