David Boreanaz's wife gave birth Wednesday by shoving a piece of wood through her heart and poofing into dust, but a supsicious anachronously-dressed man quickly scooped up the baby and ran off.

it's such a touching and tragic story, someone should write that into a television series or something.

Variety reports that Halle Berry has signed on to star in the studio's remake of the '74 classic Pam Grier blaxploitation flick "Foxy Brown"

this isn't right. it's gonna turn into something Shaft-like or Charlie's Angels-like. the feel will be all wrong. it may be an enjoyable movie (i like seeing women kick ass), but i just don't think it'll be Foxy enough. or it may turn out to be just right and my love of '70s Pam Grier will be quelled. we'll see.

yay for erotic dreams about Tim Daly.

ack! i have no time to do anything! haven't even been able to respond to email properly. this whole "Job" concept sucks, and i'd like to ninja-kick the person who came up with it.

"Three generations of imbeciles are enough." --the warcry of the AntiBush factions.

eh, not really (though it could be). since the entertainment world has decided to suck and not have any real news today, i'm forced to find other things to read (and i do need other things to read, 'cause, after the previews for next week's Buffy, i'm really itching to read some spoilers). so, today's selection goes into the "Today In Supreme Court History" catagory:

Buck v. Bell. eugenics. our future depends on it.
Kolender v. Lawson.

i've never been clear on whether it's suppose to be April 30, May 1 or May 2, but i choose today to say Happy Beltane! today's the day the Seelie Court returns to power and all the Unseelies return to whatever it is they do during the warmer times of the year (probably vacationing in the West Indies or something).

this has been one of those days that starts off with the one person who irritates you daily outdoing himself INSTANTLY and causing all kinds of homicidal thoughts in my noggin. remember folks, if i tell you that i don't feel like talking to you and that i need some time to cool off, it's not a good idea to call me repeatedly and bombard me with email. that doesn't make it better. seriously, it doesn't.

yay! new Buffy tonight!

[via Dark Horizons and Sci Fi Wire] "The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Kate Beckinsale will star in Underworld, a "Romeo and Juliet"-esque love story between a vampire and a werewolf - sworn enemies who become lovers."

ick. you know i must be bored if i'm reading and linking to CNN articles. it's tough waiting for all the Buffy and entertainment websites to update for the day.

Transformers came in the form of die-cast toys, comic books and an after-school cartoon series

dude, i must have been buying the cheap transformers, 'cause mine were all made of plastic. i feel like redneck trash now.

also, imagine the cartoon trying today to get away with Megatron being a handgun. all kinds of advocacy groups would be (heh) up in arms about it.

i only link to the article to remind folks that the Transformers DVD was released last week.

"It's a bittersweet day, to say the least," said Anthony H. Guerino, an attorney who represented 10 workers [who said they pooled their money together to have a coworker buy lottery tickets, and claimed that he had the winning ticket and wouldn't tell them]. "They've always been a spiritual group. I could see them deflate."

i'm not sure what their spirituality had to do with their greed. a strange comment to make on the subject.


Several workers said they were disappointed, but wished the winner well and said they held no bad feelings for Marquez.

"We never really claimed the ticket. We just wanted to know," said Ida Davis.


"We never claimed the ticket. That's why we hired a lawyer." i think they'd know he had it if Marquez suddenly quit his job and moved to some tropical paradise.

ah well, doesn't matter. they didn't win anyway.

Richard Morgan, representing Christie's, said McCartney wrote the lyrics for "Hey Jude" in 1967 and 1968 but had provided no evidence that he had ever owned the piece of paper on which they were written. -- a disagreement about who properly owns the handwritten lyrics to "Hey Jude"

incentive to retain the receipts for every ream of paper you've ever bought, just so you can one day prove you owned the paper.

Jean's redesigned again. why didn't she go with the pink kitties?

Buffy links all in one post:

What's your most irrational fear?
Dying and having no one to find me for two weeks. And when they did, my dogs, Daisy, Alex and Zippy, were eating my tongue. Apparantly that's what dogs go for first.
Alyson Hannigan Q&A from Teen People.

the Nebula Award winners were announced on Saturday. "The Body," which was nominated for best script, lost to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. once again, swords and martial arts rule.
