Went Christmas shopping with Mom, which is a bit troubling - she couldn't remember what she was getting for whom or where, even with a list and my prodding, and she made me shop at Kohl's (long story but I refuse to shop there) - but I got some clothes, a plant for the office and Season One of Dollhouse out of it. Oh, and I get to inflict some Newbery winning books on my nephews for Christmas. I read ALL of the Newbery books through 1982 or so and I'm more than happy to pick some for the boys. (A Wrinkle in Time, Across Five Aprils, and Johnny Tremain, to be specific.)

Then home to watch Maryland spoil NC State's championship bid, and watch Despicable Me. I love the minions. Seriously.

( Friday, the art show )
( Friday, the fun ), who was flying solo for the first time. She was being plied with much friendship and whiskey and was doing quite well.

Final adventure of the night: the USS Chesapeake. They were having a public party and all were invited; I probably would get an invite even if it was private though, I know them all and we can talk each others' ears off. Which we did, first at the Dollhouse panel and then later on along with several newbies who'd never been to a con before and wandered in because they didn't know where else to find a party. They found a lot of new friends, I guarantee. At 12:30 I headed home, mostly because I didn't realize it was that late, but stayed up until 2am trying to find/make rainbow Torchwood decals. Unsuccessfully.
   
 ETA I've edited the cut on this entry seven times now and it WILL NOT include the last paragraph. I'm getting very frustrated.

Particularly in the 'I don't feel like I accomplished much' department.

Apparently the Joss gang and Fox are at it again: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/09/AR2009040904162.html

What was interesting is that the author of the piece, Lisa De Moraes, is also hosting a chat at WaPo this afternoon, entitled 'The Demise of Dollhouse'. There was no further info provided. There seems to be a heck of a difference between arguing over airing an episode and cancelling the show outright though, so I'm wondering what WaPo has left out/has up its sleeve.
