Of zombies and daisies

There are really only three things that I remember about my dream last night.

They are, in order:

1. A used bookstore in NYC
2. My being in a band
3. Zombie apocalypse

I don't know what that means, but as long as it's not prophetic in any way (except maybe the first and second parts) I should be okay.

I didn't receive the next disc of Wonderfalls today. Netflix had it in his head that I would be getting it Tuesday, but it is now Wednesday, and my poor little disappointed self can only take so much. I'll be putting my account on hold shortly after, anyway. Money's tight. :(

I've been on a Bryan Fuller kick lately, rewatching Pushing Daisies with a friend of mine who had never seen it and rewatching some of Dead Like Me by myself. I've said this before, but I feel it merits repeating: Bryan Fuller is brilliant. His style is so imaginative and awesome. I want more than two seasons of him at one go!

He's apparently working on a Pushing Daisies comic to follow-up the series, which is way way awesome! Can't wait for that. And, he's purportedly working on pilots for NEW shows, including one for NBC called Sellevision, based on Augusten Burrough's novel of the same name about a Home Shopping Network-type television company. He also has another NBC script in the works, a comedy about an animal shelter, entitled No Kill.

I would really love to work with Bryan Fuller someday. The idea of making beautiful television like his makes me a little bit giddy.

ALSO! It's Joss Whedon's birthday! I totally would have done an all Whedon post in his honor if I hadn't just now remembered. But there we are. I suck as a fangirl. I am appropriately ashamed. Happy birthday, Joss. :)

I wear the cheese, it does not wear me.

Another school year has ended (somehow) and I wonder (yet again) how on earth I am going to make it through life with all of my marbles. It becomes increasingly more difficult to imagine a life wherein my mommy isn't helping me out with every detail of my life. However, things seem to be coming together, which is fantastic. An apartment is opening up and will be ready to move into VERY soon, and I start back to work for the summer tomorrow. The Lost series finale is coming soon, which kind of freaks me out. So much is happening. I just hope I can handle it.

So, in the tradition of my not finishing anything I start, I didn't finish my spec for Script Frenzy. April is too crazy for me as it is, that I soon found that it was just not worth it. I figure that I've at least started it, and I can finish it when I actually have time. All I need are two good scripts, and then maybe I'll actually make it. The ABC-Disney TV Writing Fellowship thing is accepting submissions, so I may try to finish my script in time to apply for that.

This is a mostly personal-update-here's-what-I-haven't-been-blogging-about-for-the-past-month post. Grades are coming out, which I'm semi-freaked about. I think if I can pass French, I can do anything, but we'll see.

Oh! I watched the first episode of Happy Town, with Amy Acker. Very, very cool. Can't wait to see more!

And, for good measure, Spike, being awesome:

Let the sun shine in!

Today was a glorious day, weather-wise, which is why I'm going to ignore all of the other crap, and tell you all about the sunshine and the blue sky and the birds and the sunshine. It was beautiful. Still chilly, but with enough sunshine that the cold doesn't bother you, and is just nice and brisk. I walked to class in the afternoon sans coat and it was wonderful. :)

Enough about the weather.

I finally got my computer to boot today, which also helped the day be better. It's been trying to off itself for a while now, and I thought today it had succeeded. Didn't think it could get worse than this, did you?:

I'm currently writing this blog with Gilmore Girls in the background. My roommate has the first two seasons on DVD and I am so thankful for that. :)

I also finally got a frame for my Hair poster, which I have temporarily placed next to my lovely begonias that I purchased:

It's signed by much of the cast, but is unfortunately lacking the signatures of Bryce Ryness and Gavin Creel, two of my favorites. But this makes up for it:

Yeah, that's us on the green room couches of the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. Be extremely jealous.

I still need to watch this week's Lost, and get caught up on The Office.

Apparently this go-round of the ABC-Disney Television Writing Fellowship has started up, and has me thinking a lot about it. I really want to apply for it next time, which means I need to get writing. I've started thinking about shows to write spec scripts for, to have a few on hand. Any ideas?
