This was stolen from Pajiba, who I believe stole it from Quizlaw, but whatever. It's beautiful.

I am so bored with Heroes this season.

I still love Bennett and all that he does, but that is really the only person on the show I care about at all right now. I can't even work up the energy to be that into David Anders. And he's freakin' DAVID ANDERS.

On the other hand, Dexter just keeps getting better and better. Everyone on the show kicks ass.

I also kick ass, because I am almost 1/2 way done with all of my Christmas shopping. Score!

HALLOWEEN!
Jackie O and JFK. (Unfortunately, I don't have any better pictures of the two of us together)


Greg and Sarah (who dressed up as Christina Ricci's character in Black Snake Moan - she looked awesome!)


Bill and Greg


This week Colleen and I met up in Iowa City for some fun college reminiscing. Colleen started out the night by playing some awesome tunes at the Dublin.


Mike met us out at Brothers later. I'm not sure what I'm doing here, besides being totally cute.


This picture cracks me up.


Here we are at the end of the night at The Alley Cat (or whatever its called now) and since we're older and wiser - that's just water in those cups.


The St. Louis International Film Festival began this week, and this year one of the awards went to James Gunn (who grew up in Manchester). I'm a really big fan of his stuff, and when I found out he was going to be in town I really kind of freaked out. He did a couple of movie screenings this weekend, but with my trip to Iowa City and Greg being sick I wasn't able to attend those. But I was able to catch a Q & A session he held with a film writer/critic from LA where they talked about his career and what nots. It was totally geek-rific!

And I got to shake his hand and have him sign some stuff.


This is totally getting framed.


And even though we got some totally kick ass Chinese food this afternoon, I'd say meeting one my fave writers was the highlight of my day.

From TV Week:

Joss Whedon, the creator of acclaimed cult favorites “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel” and “Firefly,” is returning to Fox and reuniting with “Buffy” regular Eliza Dushku for a new action-drama called “Dollhouse.”

Fox has given a seven-episode commitment to the 20th Century Fox Television project for a planned debut next year.

“It deals with our darkest impulses and our best ones,” Whedon says. “It deals with all the things I like to deal with—strength, weakness, power and corruption.”

“Dollhouse” stars Dushku as Echo, one of a group of secret agents living in a futuristic dorm. Each has the ability to be imprinted with custom personalities and abilities for special assignments. When they return, their newly acquired memories are wiped. The show follows Echo as she takes on a variety of assignments—some romantic, some adventurous, some uplifting, some illegal—and gains awareness of her role and confinement.

That sound you heard was bazillions of Whedonites squeeeeeeeeing.

Here's another interview with Joss and Eliza from E!Online.

This really is so cool. It sounds like an interesting premise, especially in the hands of Joss.

So, yahoo!
