Entertainment Fail

[kazari]

I'm sure I'm the last to hear about this (and via The Colbert Report no less!) but I just can't stop laughing. The SciFi channel is renaming themselves to the SyFy Channel to divorce themselves from the nerd image they feel is holding them back. Really? Seriously? The exec makes mention in the article that the change is in part to endear women to the network and boost ratings. Methinks good shows would do that. No? No? Apparently not. I stopped watching when they started airing more wrestling and reality shows than scifi. What does that make me?

Console yourselves ladies by visiting the Harlequin website and generating your own personalized romance novel blurb. It's beautiful. I imagine this is how they really write those plotlines.

Speaking of television that nobody watches, did anybody catch the premire of NBC's Kings? It's a retelling of biblical King David's story in a modern setting. Feels like a show that would be on Showtime or HBO but magically appeared on NBC when nobody was looking. No, really. It's premire was the lowest rated show on Sunday night. Go watch the first episode on Hulu why don't you? I find it pretty. I'd like it to get at least a little bit in before it's canceled and replaced with another Sherlock Holmes superdetective crime show.

Maybe I won't write about the con after all. Too much trouble. And nobody cares.

I'm hoping to convince them to make me staff and only have to run Japanardy, and maybe help out with Singled Out. Then I'd have LOADS more free time, and still get staff perks. But fat chance of that, right? Yes, be my manager and tell me to hold out for something better! If only it were possible to direct game shows from afar... *le sigh*

Extension for added volume, the chick (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/misawawa/ste-gwe.jpg?t=1237519420) has a weird Bump-It (http://www.bighappiehair.com/) type hairstyle.

No, I'm your agent! A better contract must be negotiated. *pounds fist*

Well, if I can find them I'll send them along and you can play with them? I finally have access to transportation again (the parents are back in town with the car. yay?) so I'll be mailing your sword tomorrow.

EDIT: They're not a different color, they're a different texture slightly. Same color. Either way, if I can find them I'll send them.

Sweet. You can just set them aside when you find them, I'm not sure I can get this done in time for ACen anyhow. (I'd also like to get the other band members, but I dunno how many people would be into this... and I surprisingly really wanna be the girl. Normally, I'd choose the short drummer dude for myself.)

Meh. You can get anyone to be the kid, but where would you get the two guys?

It turns out my sister is moving to the Madison area in a month or so, and I'm almost certain I could get her boyfriend to be one of the guys and have them both come to a con. (She usually only dates guys who are cool with doing weird shit.) If only Blian were here, I could probably just attack him with a costume... Why don't we have male cosplaying friends?! DAMN IT. I should have attacked the It we saw and forced a friendship.

lol If you build it they will come kinda thing? Oh, the ambitions we have.
