Whee! Tim Minear’s new pilot, “Drive” was just picked up! From Buffistas, via Whedonesque:

Okay, so now I can mention, my pilot got picked up today. Go team.

Okay, the show is called “Drive.” The network is, um, Fox. And it’s a big, sprawling, ensemble that is utterly serialized. In the pilot, for instance, there are… let me count… about 16 possibly regular characters.

Which means I got me some killin’ to do.

Well, it’s nice that he’s so honest about it. XD

Now let’s just hope that this show is as awesome as Firefly, Wonderfalls, Angel, and The Inside, yet doesn’t follow the example of the three out of four Fox shows that were cancelled after half a season! *is not bitter at ALL*

Holy cow. Little Shop is cancelled, as the board couldn’t get the rights. They’re doing Grease instead. I feel rather guilty that the show I was beginning to regret joining has received the smackdown, that I’m actually feeling happy about news that others around me are heartbroken over, but on the other hand, FREEDOM!

We’re getting another hatch! The ceiling leak angst should hopefully be resolved now. Alas, we used up all our hatch jokes on the first one, named “es-CAH-pay”, but spelled just like “Escape”. Maybe Ko will let me name the other one “Desmond”.

Also, I think we’re getting the massive hole in the wall fixed!

Haha, so awesome! From engadget: Volvo S80 detects intruders’ heartbeats.

Perhaps the nicest thing about living in a city with great public transportation is that we’ve almost forgotten the gripping panic that used to overcome us each time we went out to the car alone at night, terrified that the proverbial “man-with-the-hook” was secreted away in the backseat somewhere. Well it seems that the engineers at Volvo also know our fear, and have incorporated a heartbeat sensor inside the new S80 sedan that alerts your wireless key fob if there’s a criminal-type lying in wait for you as you approach. Although this tech would do a bit to alleviate our irrational fear, the logical side of us realizes that if a ne’er-do-well could crack the rest of Volvo’s tight security features to break into our ride unnoticed, he could probably disable this heartbeat sensor as well. Like we said, it’s probably best that we stick to public transportation.

So who would be affected by such a device?


On the plus side, Veronica Mars gets to avoid being threatened by a psychopathic murderer, deliberately crashing her car, and being trapped inside a burning refridgerator.


On the negative side, Marty McFly has to find an alternative way of stealing back Biff’s sports almanac.

Verdict: WIN!

Math midterm = OWNZED.

I love it when you spend 15 minutes staring at a problem, then get that brilliant flash of insight with JUST enough time to write the answer down.

Still feeling pretty cruddy, but much better than last night, thanks to magical symptom-erasing Comtrex.
