Farscape Campaign

Farscape is coming back on October 17 on SciFi Channel. This is probably one of the best scifi drama series on television. Well, they were doing well, getting awards, gaining reputations when SciFi Channel decided to abruptly pulled the plug at the end of the 4th season instead of wrapping up the series in their 5th season as originally planned. Sure, as fans of the show, we want our show to continue forever, but that is almost impossible. So all we ask for was to give us the final season, a movie, or a mini-series of some kind so the...

Anatomy

Brandon and I went down to Huntington Beach for a couple of hours of sand and surf today. On the slow drive down the stretch there and back, we spotted several girls who look great in their beach wear or swimsuits. Yes. I said “we”. I don’t have the “my husband has to look at me and only me” complex. He can look all he wants because in the end, he’s coming home with me.

My opinion seems to be “radical” enough for the more liberal The Nation. Perhaps I should try to score another part time writing gig with them again.

Magic Hour

Two beers! That’s one beer more than my usual alcohol capacity, a one beer wonder that I am. I’m well alcoholized at this point. What a perfect time to blog, although I could never compete with MacDaddy on the drunken rant writing department. I just got home from a night out in LA with a bunch of friends, former HSXers–people I used to work with at the Hollywood Stock Exchange–plus a few others. I worked the OakMonster magic and pulled together a small gathering at, now my new favorite pub, St. Nick’s on 3rd. And even managed to drag Brandon...
