cleolindaHey, you know what's not cool? Using lines from one of my "Fifteen Minutes" to win a contest. Don't do that. Or rather, do that, and the other 3000 people who have also read it will bust your ass. I'm just saying.
Vladimir's off on Susak visiting his mother again; The Lovely Emily should be coming back from modding the the young writers' camp; and I'm not sure when Valerie and Mr. Typo will be in town precisely, but they'll be around this week. I'm mostly tired and cranky. Meanwhile, I have an agent's contract sitting on my desk waiting to be signed as we speak, so I think it's safe to say that I now have official representation.
Have been mostly useless this weekend, although I did curl up in bed and reread vols. 1 and 2 of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic while it rained like hell yesterday. The thing I noticed was that--if you read "Allan and the Sundered Veil" in the back of the first volume, and then the little world-travels bits in the back of the second, you basically get a good bit of what they're going to feature in the upcoming third volume, as I understand it--the preview art I saw had Mina and Randolph Carter. Also, I hadn't read everything in the back of the second volume, and I finally noticed that a major surviving character--uh, dies. Thanks. That's great.
I miss Hyde.
ETA: New National Treasure poster. On behalf of the fangirl community: Dear Touchstone Pictures, you have put the wrong actor on the poster. Please rectify this ASAP, plzkthnx. Also: check out the main Coming Soon.net page for news on Narnia (Rupert Everett?), Episode III additional photography, and House of Wax burning down a whole studio, as if the remake itself weren't godforsaken enough.

3.) You're right. Nick Cage? On a poster? When they could have Sean Bean? Hollywood is Satan's pancreas.

Date: 2004-06-27 02:25 pm (UTC)Well, I figure I'd better force myself to be mature about it now, before I end up on, like, the E! True LiveJournal Story about what a raving coke-fueled bitch I turned out to be.
What do you mean, "turned out to be"?
I'm kidding. I'm totally kiddingohGodPUTDOWNTHECAHINSAWNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Date: 2004-06-27 01:54 pm (UTC)Totally with you on that. I'll sign the petition to have it changed. We are starting one right..?
And I'm confused by the info on ComingSoon.net. If Nic Cage is the archaeologist, and Sean Bean is the other major lead, why is Sean's character not mentioned? I thought it was Nic Cage and Sean Bean, not Nic Cage and whatshisface Nic Cage's friends character. (Too lazy to go back to the page and look for the other actors name). Is Sean just not well known enough in the States yet to warrant further comment?

Date: 2004-06-27 02:08 pm (UTC)Hee. No, but I do work at home, so I tend to be around a lot. Also, I'm wasting time before a friend comes over, so I'm sort of here at the moment.

Date: 2004-06-27 02:46 pm (UTC)Btw, me and my brother cannot watch a movie anymore without looking at each other and, at very pointed moments, not snickeringly say "Our lady of soundtrack sorrow, hawhawhaw!". Thank you very much for that one.
And what do you do for a living at home, anyway?

I miss Hyde as well, although I love the way he went out.

Date: 2004-08-02 08:05 pm (UTC)(I just now got an email notification about this comment. So... hi. Really late replying.)
Re: There's dead and there's dead...
Date: 2004-08-03 06:12 am (UTC)Yeah... I've been getting slow notification myself. Odd, that.
I'm about 99 percent sure that Allan Jr. was actually Allan, which makes me smile. I'd love to see another League comic dealing with the remainders of the group, but I'm not sure whether Moore's exit from comics is total or not.
Re: There's dead and there's dead...
Date: 2004-08-03 07:25 am (UTC)Actually, I've seen advance art from League 3--Mina and John Carter. Don't know who else is in it, but they damn better put that out.
Re: There's dead and there's dead...
Date: 2004-08-03 02:38 pm (UTC)Hope that "League" doesn't count as mainstream, but I've got a feeling that it does where things like The Birth Caul (http://books.fantasticfiction.co.uk/n5/n28736.htm?authorid=4841) wouldn't.
John Carter and Mina? Very, very interesting... and hinted at in "Allan and the Sundered Veil," if I'm not mistaken. One of his visions or somesuch.
Do what's important.

Date: 2004-06-28 09:49 am (UTC)WORD. I mean, it is bad enough Nick Cage is in the movie (I make a point to try and avoid them), but to ignore my Bean. Now that's just wrong. Sick and wrong. *shakes teeny fist* I think he is the shady villain, however. Because he always is (mmmsexy villains).
Also, stealing your lines is ignorant, yo.
