So I went to the Kerry/Edwards fund raiser, which was awesome. The actors were pretty and Joss was hilarious. Amy looks very happy and healthy. I hadn't seen any photos of Aly with her short hair, I barely recognized her. The whole thing was a little surreal. I was walking toward the food table and who passes in front of me? Wesley. How did he escape from the TV? Do the TV people know he's just running around free like that? Anyway, the highlight was watching Nick Brendan grab Nathan Fillion's ass. I had flashbacks to Goddard and DeKnight at the W&H Annual Revue. It's just not a Buffy gathering without the homoeroticism.
Seriously though, the highlight was Joss's speech. Funny, inspiring, all that Joss stuff.
Go Kerry!
PS Dear Secret Service: Just because I voted for Kerry doesn't mean I want anything bad to happen to Bush. Please don't visit my apartment. It's messy. I'll be embarrassed. (If this seems random go here.)

I'm a bad ljer. I don't know where my time has gone lately. Nowhere very productive. Let's see, exciting news:

1. I met Joss Whedon! thanks to the wonderful rhiannfire. I was saving our seats for the Serenity panel when I got a call from rhiannfire. "Are you lost?" "No, Joss is in the hallway." "Oh my God!" He was just standing out there, unsure of where he should be. Riannfire and a couple other people were the only ones who recognized him. He needed to go, but rhiannfire convinced him to stay till I got there and then I got a picture taken with him. I'm so cool.

2. I met Jane Espenson! She's funny and nice. I talked to her. I told her I was writing specs and she said I looked young enough to get into TV writing.

3. This is what I thought the entire time I was in Vegas: "Are my eyes bleeding? Are you sure? Cause I think they're bleeding." Turns out, it's legal to smoke indoors in the great state of Nevada.

4. The Imperial Palace is the best hotel ever! The stale smoke smell, the labyrinth-like corridors. The hint of vomit in the elevator. My fondest memory was of the elevator doors opening on the fourth floor, revealing four guys with luggage. They ask,
"Does this elevator go to the 21st floor?"
"No, it only goes to the 18th floor."
"Dude, this is the wrong hotel."
Indeed.

5. Dark Angel isn't bad. I rented the first season, and it's no Buffy but it's so much better than I imagined it could be. I'm such a sucker for hot chicks with super powers.

6. The Serenity preview was so fucking amazing.
