you're out of here, 2011

Yesterday I rushed around, trying to get some last minute things done, and then I and the usual suspects got together early and watched lots and lots of shows. It was a real treat because there's NO TIME to do that anymore, but we made the time. It was at one point a 70s love-in. Planet of the Apes tv series (The Interrogation), Alias Smith & Jones (Smiler With a Gun - one of their most serious, well-written, well-acted episodes, with Grandpa from The Waltons in it), Starsky & Hutch (The Fix, yes - I can just about speak along with the actors at this point), Logan's Run, the tv series (bootleg copy of the Pilot - so, so bad it's ... well, it's bad in that good way that bad shows with eye-rolling laser beams and tin "glider" vehicles with wheel covers so you don't see the wheels can be, and a very young Gregory... um, Harrison? The guy who was on Trapper John? as the star).

We also saw Blood Ties (awesome, powerful female lead and also: vampire torture), Battlestar Galactica (the one where Leoben is interrogated by Starbuck), Legend of the Seeker (I don't know her name, but it had the anti-Jeannie chick with the long blonde braid and she'd strung Richard up and poked him with A STICK) and Supernatural (Mystery Spot, I will never not love it). And the season one finale of The Borgias. And there was hot apple juice with cinnamon, cloves and brandy. Ah, it makes the whole house smell wonderful. And we had a couple of folks stay the night.

And Yuletide reveals are here, and gryphon2k , I'm kind of mortified. I did NOT recognize you as my POTA author, which is so insane because of how I've read and examined your stories so much, but it wasn't Pete whump and it was kind of a solemn thing, something the series could have expanded upon, and anyway I'm feeling foolish. But I want to give you a big hug and tell you how much I appreciate the gift!  And how glad I am we're back in touch, so much:))) And then there's Gehayi, Ankaret, EmmaDeMarais, and Quillori for their lovely, original gifts to me. I enjoyed my plenitude of gifts very VERY much.

And I can tell you I wrote two stories! Something in the Guns - The Walking Dead (tv series) fandom, with Daryl Dixon and Andrea featured; and The Beating of Her Bound Heart - my take on Little Red Riding Hood, dark and definitely a revisionist take. I had lots of fun, and then I did something thoughtless, though my intentions were actually good, and felt very bad for it. But I'd rather leave that behind now.

Happiest of New Years to you all. Last year was pretty much, uh, not good, so here's hoping for better.

Did you know the full series DVDs of Logan's Run are coming out in April? I was *astonished* to see that - another sign that the studios are pumping out every last bit of everything in their vaults. Although...Gregory Harrison. Very cute back in the day, and a very nice guy. Worth buying for that, I guess!

my friend told me just last night. I'm thinking about buying it. I remember thinking he was so cute! ha, and now after all these years I see I was right:)

You are very welcome. I was a little surprised you didn't recognize the M.O. with the song lyrics, but that actually made me happy to keep you in suspense. I was worried you would guess immediately. And yes, it was a bit of a departure from my usual thing.

OMG! Logan's Run. I've been thinking about buying the series digitally from Amazon, but I guess now I'll wait until the DVDs (thanks for the tip, Carol). I love Greg Harrison. And yes, it was campy, but also groundbreaking in a lot of ways.

BRAIN IS DEAD. It totally felt unlike you, and threw me off as such, though in hindsight I HAD THE DUMB. Which is just like me, really - I can put together some things and totally totally miss the boat - it's like, my MO.
