Rounder Records has posted the track list for the OWWF soundtrack.

for those of us into such things (and i am), here's the press release for the Buffy roleplaying game. it'll include a guide to Buffyspeak! as any good non-rules-lawyering-bastard geek gamer will do, i'll end up adapting the rules to bring the Buffyverse together with the World of Darkness's Vampire: the Masquerade. i wanna see Buffy taking out [warning: Gamespeak ahead] some Methuselahs and eventually go up against an Antedeluvian.

woo hoo! Governor Frank has added the Cockfighting Ban question to the November ballot. we finally get to vote to make this barbaric act illegal!

i shouldn't get too excited though. the electorate of Oklahoma has consistently disappointed me in elections.

i do, however, finally have a reason to give Frank a thumbs up. go go, Frank!

i've never been, so i'm wondering, is that something commonly done at the Opera?

The One Ring staffer Arathorn got confirmation direct from Tim Minear himself, who told us exclusively that Sean Astin is a lock in this season's schedule to direct an episode of Angel.

also, from Wolfram and Hart to Enron: Christian Kane can't stay away from monolithic, demon-controlled companies to another (probably explaining the reason he works in Hollywood).

Buffy stuff:

press release on the "Once More, With Feeling" soundtrack.

Misrepresentations, Misunderstandings, Slurs and Allegations. a rebuttal to three editorials accusing Joss and ME of being bad people for killing Tara (yeah, the whining is still going on).

from the season seven premiere (supposedly), two photos. i just really like the way first one looks (the 'vibe' of the interaction between the characters, who i won't name to prevent anyone from crying "You didn't warn me about spoilers!") (i'm a little gun shy about that now, aren't i?).

copied from Dark Horizons : In truly disturbing news, Fangoria has filed a detailed story about how it appears Kane Hodder may in fact be out of this movie as Jason Voorhees is "re-invented" and possibly taken over by "Halloween: Resurrection's" Brad Loree, the actor who played the Shape (fueling rumors that they needed to fill a "Canadian" top-liner cast quota). Apparently, the characters are being re-designed by Bill Terezakis of WTC Productions who did the effects work for "Final Destination 2" and "Willard," two other recent New Line projects. Jason Voorhees is being re-invented to a point where they're looking for an actor "who can emote pain and anguish over the loss of a loved one."

that *is* what i look for in preternatural serial killers.


another tidbit from Dark Horizons:

The Hollywood Reporter indicates USA Network plans to remake the 70's series "The Bionic Woman."

is that a good or a bad thing?

if you're not watching Rocko's Modern Life, you should be. last night, Nick showed the ep with "Zanzibar" (the musical Recycling episode) and "Fatal Contraption" (a dialogue-less tale of a Wallaby and his new appliance) both right up there in quality with Animaniacs musicals ["Dot's Entertainment," (with the song "Cats of Phantom Boulevard") and "Les Miseranimals" (the whole fucking thing was great)].

murder is wrong, no doubt about it, but why isn't it acceptable to send hordes of ninjas after people?

from Dark Horizons: According to Fangoria, this long-delayed Nicholas Brendon/Jamie Pressly-starring horror film about a demonic pinata (which originally was entitled "Pinata: Survival Island") will be released regionally in theaters starting August 30th.

demonic piñata. why didn't i think of that? damn, i hope this movie plays somewhere around here.

so, what do you think about (movie) Storm's new hairdo?

you can personalize and send Jeff Corwin e-cards! i'm sending them all to myself (especially the strangely appealing 'Lying on the ground with a big snake wrapped around him' one).

"Got adventure on your mind? Click here to win an appearance on Animal Planet with Jeff Corwin and drive home in a new 2002 Suzuki Aerio SX!" it's the Win a Date with Jeff contest! you can enter daily (and i will), and as an added bonus you can also win a year of free cable from your local provider. free cable and an evening (or ten minutes and a handshake) on the <enter biome of choice> with Jeff? this is what being an American is about!

anyone have some extra cash laying around that they'd like to send me? there's a house i reeeeally want, but it's about $1900/month more than i could possibly afford.

"Whedon also said the long-awaited soundtrack for "Once More With Feeling," last fall's all-musical episode, will be out by Sept. 24, the day "Buffy" begins its seventh season on UPN. "

hooray! finally, i've seen a second source saying OMWF soundtrack is coming soon! from this article, which has many spoilers, mostly casting but some plot, mostly for Buffy and some for Angel.

i've been avoiding Buffydom this summer (except when my sister or nephew come over and want to watch it, but that's been all season two). it's a way to pass through the way-too-long rerun season without scouring the internet for spoilers, but i kind of slipped last week and watched Doppelgangland on FX. now i'm all excited again. forty-four days left!
