I’ve been sitting on this since Friday morning, but now I can finally share it! Fred, who runs the official Jim Butcher podcast “The Butcher Block,” asked me on to do a guest spot and discuss the most recent Dresden TV episodes. We talked yesterday afternoon for about 40 minutes (about 30 minutes of which appears in the podcast itself), and I had a great time! Listen to the episode here. You don’t need an iPod to listen–just download the mp3.

Alicey, I’ll put together a transcript for you, but it’ll take some time, as school/job applications are insane. *stabs Tech Reel DVD that works on my laptop and was working on my DVD player yesterday morning but hasn’t worked since, even though my Modeling reel was done THE EXACT SAME WAY and it works*

Jimmy, even though you don’t read/watch Dresden, you might be interested in tuning in, starting at 39:43. :D

Sweet! The Summer Knight audio book just arrived, a month early. When I pre-ordered it, they said it would take twelve weeks, but it’s only been nine. Those ladies at Buzzy Multimedia win at life.

Dear Dresden Files TV Show,

Finally, a female guest star I don’t find annoying! Well, not very annoying, at least. Maybe “Finally, a female guest star Harry doesn’t hit on!” better summarizes my feelings. Is this actually the first episode where Harry doesn’t kiss someone?

Also Bob is love.

Signed,
Priscilla

Dear Battlestar Galactica,

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?

Love,
Priscilla
P.S. Also my roommate is the fifth cylon. I have photographic proof!

Dear Universe,

How hard is it to spell my name? I mean really! Especially when you have it written down in front of you!

Annoyed,
Prescila Pricella Purcella Brasille ah, never mind.

It’s ridiculous. A friend’s mom still thinks my name is “Sally.” And even weirder, I’ve read two books in the past week with minor characters named “Priscilla,” when I rarely ever encounter the name outside the context of Me. The second was in A Canticle or Leibowitz, a book we had to read for my Sci-Fi class. Priscilla is a yappy, six-legged dog owned by a two-headed woman. The first was White Night, which includes a bitter, frumpish, middling-magical-talent hag of a minor character that wears turtlenecks in the Summer, named Priscilla. How Jim Butcher was able to write an entire book properly spelling her name, but suddenly lost the ability to spell it when personalizing my copy, defies all logic. I spent the entire book wondering if there was some joke about weird spellings of stuff. Of course, to be fair he was trying to spell “Priscellie,” which can be a bit more confusing. Oh well.

My name is great, but also freakish and confusing! Woohoo!

Got back from New York Comic Con late last night! It was sooooooo fun, but I am sooooo exhausted. Setting up a meeting with my advisor at 10am the next morning was stupid beyond belief. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I posted a lot of costume- and Dresden-related pictures here, plus a little bit about meeting Jim Butcher and Paul Blackthorne here. Full con report coming after I sleep for a week, waking up briefly to take the Midterm From Hell on Wednesday and write a paper for Friday.

Oh my god oh my god oh my god!

I’m currently investigating as to whether it’s fake. I don’t want to do anything that might jinx this spontaneous wellspring of good luck in the eyes of the Gods of Spite, but I also don’t want to get taken for a sucker.

Edit: Curses. I can’t verify it either way yet, but I have a sneaking (okay, less sneaking and more clomping around in hobnailed boots) suspicion that someone is trying to fleece me. Also, the guy emailed me back saying my price is $120, which NO WAY am I going to pay. I contacted eBay security and they’re going to look into it.

I’ll keep you guys updated. At least my wig looks cute, if totally inaccurate. And hey, I’ve already found a way to use my super-connected ninja fan powers to get a normal copy of the book in just over two weeks–nearly a month before street date.

Oh, and related: the first two of three White Night sample chapters are up on Jim’s site.
