Well, we did get a refund for Igor and I'm drafting a letter to the Hanford Chamber of Commerce a copy of which will be sent to the Humane Society in Fresno.
Other than that does anyone know what birds do all day? The last couple of days he's just kinda sittin on his perch. And I don't know what to do. The avian vet is on vacation and he may not be sick. He may just be bored. Maybe he doesn't have the right toys. Maybe I don't talk to him enough. He naps, poops, eats, drinks, chirps once in awhile and just sits there. Are they supposed to run around all the time? That was my impression.
I have also realized why I never should have got a pet! I mean this may be a good deal for Igor but he's going to be the death of me. I figured out that I totally and completely lack faith in my ability to keep anything alive. I feel aweful, I can't stand to leave him alone for fear he'll die while I'm gone. I watch him constantly. I check is poop, I need to buy a postal scale to weigh him all the time. He is too bitey to interact with that much although he will sit on my hand and eat. But I'm not getting any work done because all I do is worry over Igor.
Well, while I'm out of town- BJD 'con' in SD this weekend :) my parents will be house/bird sitting. I have asked them to stay IN the house all the time so they can watch Igor, keep him company, and keep him warm. Other than that I'm still trying to get him to eat healthy which he won't and I found out that the vet charges for phone consults. I joined a bird forum but I end up reading all the disease forums about people's sick birds and then I worry more about everything that could go wrong.
Gawd, why didn't I just stick to dolls??
And then when I think he's on his last legs he perks up, chirps, and eats and drinks seems normal. WTF?

Things I've learned about yaoi; Ever since I have started reviewing yaoi for Otaku USA I have learned a few things about what I like and don't like about yaoi.
1. I really dislike student/teacher pairings. This is because of the horror stories of abusive teachers and there is also this fear in America that if gay people are allowed to teach school they'll turn the kids gay. (WTF?) And I feel like if the right wing crazies ever got their hands on these books it would reinforce their stupid prejudices. These books just creep me out and I've had to review several. I try to be objective I gave "Cause of my Teacher" a decent review, and "Ciao Ciao Bambino" (which in my head I call Ciao Ciao Gambino) also received a so/so review.
2. Shota. This should not need an explaination. It's creepy and wrong... The only author I can tolerate this from is Lily Hoshino because she's soooo damn good. "Ciao Ciao Bambino" has both semi shota and student/teacher pairings so it was doubly icky for me but I realize there are fans of this stuff or it wouldn't be translated.
3. I don't like books that are all short stories. I really like at least single volume lenght or longer work. It's hard to find multi volume yaoi though, at least in English. There are a few but some of the good ones are out of print too. Is Kizuna OoP? If I recall correctly that book was filthy.
4. Filthy books are awesome. It's yaoi. I expect it to be dirty and always feel a little robbed when it isn't yet still has an 18+ rating.
5. I am a Naduki Koujima fan. This was a surprise since the first books of hers I read were ok but I wasn't blown away. But since starting the reviews I have read a bunch more of her work and she has flair. Her characters are funny her writing pretty sharp, and even her mediocre books are more entertaining than most yaoi can aspire to. If nothing else, she's never boring and her art is always solid. It may not be the slickest 'newest' looking art but it always works. Her guys are hot and I can the characters apart. AND yet- even she did a teacher/student book I had to read.
Things I learned about dolls
1. I only buy limited editions. No regular edition of any doll has stayed around for any length of time. They are inevitably sold to buy a LE. This has left me with no dolls to sell to raise money for other dolls so I think I've shot myself in the foot with this one. Yes there are a pile of regular editions I would love to have but all my money is taken up in the pursuit of limiteds.
2. Since getting my Glot I realize 10 inch dolls are ok. They are cute, and light and I love Sooms MD best.
3. There are some YoSDs I would like but don't really care to pursue. The reason I won't pursue them is I think Yo's are horrifically overpriced on the secondary market and all the good Yos are from Japan only events and I rufuse to pay that much. This has it's roots in the 10 in dolls are ok. For the longest time I swore- NO TINIES. Sadly Soom broke me on thisone. Before the smallest I had were the tan Latis at 30cm. The list of Yos I like:
The Four Sisters- they are all the same so it doesn't matter which one.
YoSD Kun
YoSD Kanon- a year or so ago I almost bought one for $500 which would have been cool, but I passed. I regret it a little but I'll live
YoSD Mimi
YoSD Nono
4. I like funky skin tones a lot.
5. Crobidoll is my latest arch nemesis. Their limited sell out the day they go on sale!
6. Dollmore is still my favorite company.
7. I still love, and hate, and love to hate Volks.
8. The horrid Pearl default wig I still have lying around can lightly stain Kurumi's forhead and I won't throw a fit. This was a big surprise and hopefully indicative of some personal growth on my part. I thought she'd look cute as a goth girl so I dressed her in black and put the Pearl wig on her. The cuteness was through the roof so I had her hang out on my desk for a week or two. When I took the wig of there was a faint black stain on her forhead- it's under what would be covered by most wigs but it's on her face-up (Volks blushs from the head cap down) so I can't scrub it off without taking her face-up off.....

This is how this happened. I was passing the pet store on my way home from the post office and decided to see if there were any tortoises. No. Then I peek in the bird room to see if there are any cockateils. No. Instead there is this ugly ass little lovebird.
Ugly: I'm the worst bird here! I look like I'm going die any second! You'll find me belly up on the cage floor the instant you take me home! Buy Me!
Me: Okay!
So one fancy ass snap together cage later, and here it is! No name yet although I'm taking suggestions! So far F'edin the A** is about all I got.
But people do this right? Normal well adjusted people have pets, care for them, and then the pets die and they are sad but get over it right? I can do this right? I haven't had a pet since my giant millipede Lovecraft died. Maybe I'll get another one of those too. And there is a lavender headed parrot at the aweful pet store that needs rescueing! The owner couldn't care for it any more and it's in a windowless little room with barking dogs and it must be so scared!
Oh god- this is how it starts! All those crazy animal hoarders and crazy cat ladies!
*deep breath* So anyway, this little bird got it's ass handed to it by the other lovebirds and had to be seperated from them before they killed it. It is a Peach-faced variation and supposedly the feathers will grow back. With luck it will be healthy. The bird research sites said that lovebirds are hardy and very popular and pleasant companion birds. It also said do not keep them with other birds because they will kill them! They are active, and with out a 'mate' or another lovebird will bond with their owners. I'm going to work on taming it and building trust. It isn't too aggressive- I can put my hand in the cage and it doesn't attack, but it does shy away. First thing I think is to get it to associate the hand with food and treats. It's not too noisy so far but I think it'll perk up once it gets more used to my house. And contrary to the bird sites, which said lovebirds adore shredding paper, having a sheltered 'bolt hole' and playing with toilet paper roll tubes- this bird has ignored the cardboard tube, won't go into it's plushie tree stump and hasn't even nibbled the paper I put in it's cage.

Ambriel started in a much smaller three ring binder, moved to the black 3-ring binder above which it shared with several writing projects until it grew so large the other projects were relocated to other 3 ring binders.
Someday I hope someone out there will want to read it. If needs be I may self publish it and face the scorn of REAL authors and publishers everywhere. After all, nothing washes off the stink of self-publishing. But I really don't know how sellable it is. Aldo someday I may need beta readers as they call them these days.
And for those two of you waiting for chapter 2 of Roserie and Marro, my apologies! I haven't had time to type on it i a couple weeks. And for those of you who would LIKE to read Roserie and Marrow and critique my crap there is still time to volunteer. I will need to e-mail it to you though. OR you can join critters.org and read it as it comes through the queue.

The cajillion books that came in the book bag.
Me in the bathroom of the Fairmont Hotel. With the book bag.
A photo of all the guests of honor. My camera completely betrayed me the entire con. this is the least blury one I got.
Jay Lake interviewing Garth Nix
Me and Garth Nix! Squee! I considered doing something stoopid in like photoshopping hearts and crap around it but that seemed a little too stalkery!

I was also sorry I did not enter the art show. When I saw that it was juried I got worried and decided not to enter but I TOTALLY could have and not embarassed myself. I don't know that I would have sold anything, but considering some of the prices on things I think I might have sold a couple things. I bid on one piece in the art show, a print of the LE Drood cover but I lost when it went up to $50.
I think I did come away from the con with a sense that I CAN be a writer. I went to several readings and what I came with was the idea that a good story is this; a good idea well executed. And I don't think I'm too far off from that. Am I the most poetic writer? No. Will I ever turn out golden sentences cut like diamonds? Maybe not. But I can string a sentance together which is a lot more than I feel like I have been doing in a long, long time.
I also got a good idea for a story during a conversation and I've started writing, and when I finish it I'll send it to the person whose conversation I stole it from :) But I have no plot! Oh noes! I keep doing this. But I think I'll come with something, I hope!
That's not to say that I didn't feel entirely outclassed the entire convention. It was really intimidating and it didn't help that I was there alone. So I was nervous, shy and nuerotic the whole time. Everyone was so much more published than I was. And as usual everyone was there with there friends, or meeting friends that they only see at conventions. So I was, as usual the odd one out. It's always hard to be in a group where everyone is running up to each other and hugging. So it was kind of lonely and I didn't really talk about writing at all with anyone. I didn't really have the nerve to ask other people about their writing and there's nothing worse than someone going on about their OWN writing (namely me) without recipricating. Plus no one asked. Not that I would have said much. I mean what I can I say? I'm maybe halfway through the first draft of an unpublishable novel? I haven't written a short story in 6 months?
That's another thing I came away with. The con re-affirmed what I already know which is you HAVE to write short stories! They are what will get your name out there, and build a reputation.
Oh GOD! And also- I swaer- like everyone there had been to Clarion! Fuck! I'm sorry I don't have $3000 to go work on short stories for a moth in San Diego. I want to go but I don't think they'll accept the fact that I write long hand, and this would be IF, IF, I could get in in the first place, and IF I could pay for it.

Ok! DMD news! I just got this e-mail from Troy.
"Hi Che--
Because of the coming POD program (which we’re still in the process of setting up) we’ve pushed back the release dates for many of our online manga releases. DMD 2 will likely go online Jan. 2010. Though that’s not set in stone, this is where it’s currently falling.
So pls tell the fans we apologize for the wait, and to hang tight, as they’ll be getting their DMD fix soon! "
So yay!!!!!!!!! Real actual book copies! This was actually discussed the Tokyopop creator summit I went to at SDCC so it's not a huge surprise that they're doing it. The surprise is that they are doing it so soo. So I'm very happy! We can all buy hard copies!

Still trying to raise money for Yrie, the Soom birdie. I need to raise at least $300 and have precious little time to do it in. I'm selling this doll
http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showth
Speaking of here is a pic of Mr. Bird, who named before we knew that she was a girl but the name just stuck. Mr. Bird was a Barraband's Parakeet and she died in September. Today mom said she didn't think she could live without one of the little Soom birdies. And to be honest I want one too but again, need to raise the funds. Mom doesn't have the capitol either but she's looking. I figure If I could make some money it would help her out.
The 'hitlist' of dolls possibley on the chopping block: Alexie, one Lati, I'd sell Sidra but #1 she was gift and #2 she's wonky enough I don't think people would buy her. Nyx my MSDolls Devile Drayton. MAYBE Cocoa my SD Aku, and maybe Saint's crappy body. I MIGHT be able to get $200 for it but it's yellow and has the old knees.
I wish my art were popular, I could sell art or take commisions or something, but it's not so that's out. Still, remember that etsy store?? It's still there! Stocked with good! http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=505

First! I have done work this week! I wrote whole bunch of yaoi reviews for Otaku USA and that was fun. One of the books was really good too. It's just called Boys Love which is the worst title ever! I mean that's even lazier than my titles! Thing is it's good! It's coming out from Doki Doki and in the coming months my review will be is, guess what magazine? Otau USA! That's right!
Also I continue to work on the RFM: Behold my progress!!!
And then I inked one of the Cabaret Fairies for Queen Kat Designs http://www.katstamps.com/intro.htm
I think I'll have to edit out most of the detail in the feather facinator because it's just too much small line work.
I also inked my 1950 paper doll. I did that awhile a go but what the hell- I never posted her so here she is.
I aent chapter 1 of Roserie and Marrow to critters.org and sent it my two readers. So far it is ok I guess. I need to be a better writer but don't know how. I can't write beautifull prose. I have come to this conclusion. The sort of poetic beauty of authors like Ray Bradbury will forever elude me. I have a small vocabulary an can barely string a sentance together. I can tell things plainly. Who needs adjectives right? Or metaphors or similes?? Not me! That's who!
I do continue to work on R&M and am about halfway through typing chapter 2 and am writing chapter 3. I think it's bad idea. I think I should type the script and send it to the artist for whom it was intended and then find someone when they won't do it. And then after person 2 falls through maybe I'll pick it up as a prose once again.
The begging! I needs money! I need to buy 2 Yries http://dollsoom.co.kr/soom/gem.html from Soom! One for me and one for my mother to replace her beloved pet Mr.Bird who died in September. We all loved that bird so much and it was horrible when she died. Mom has sworn off pets entirely and that makes me sad. But this is a pet that won't die! But she'll never buy one for herself. And I don't have $300. Sooo, remember that etsy shop I used to pimp a lot? Well it's still there.

Cate Teirnan is my new hero!!!!!
I've still been working on my required reading too which is really fascinating. But they are a bit slower paced than Sweep.
Let me go on about His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik, why I haven't been reading it, and what it has to do with my required reading. Humor me for a minute.
There are certain fantasy books, usually alternate history books like HMD that I pick up and start reading then hit a sort of wall. The wall is this- the author puts forth a great premise- dragons being used as allies in warfare- and then cuts it off at the knees- at least for me. I find myself asking the book "Yes, this is all very well and good, but what about the rest of the world?" I want to know very badly how dragons have affected world events in other places. In particular- and I have hopes this may yet be answered in the other 3 Temeraire books- how dragons impacted the American Revolution- Is America infact still a colony? Do the Native Americans also have dragon allies and are they holding the invading Europeans at bay? What about South America? There are mentions of S.A. dragon breeds- were the Spanish repelled? Did the Inca and Aztec hold their own? Did the use of dragons put them at a more equal footing or did the Spanish guns still overwhelm the indigenous peoples? I feel like the Novik books take one premise and one historic period and then remove it from all context. And as a reader I feel that remove- that vacuum, very keenly. Which sucks a little of the fun out. But agian- with luck in upcoming Temeraire novels the context will be put back in. Also I suppose it's the idea that you don't want to 'frontload' the novel with a lot exposition and info dumping. Keep it tight and focused. But I don't think I can wholeheartedly agree. Info dumping done right can add a lot of texture.
Too be honest, at a little over halfway through the first book I want a wider perspective of this alternate history and I just don't really care about the Napoleonic wars. Still, here's hoping.
AND lastly- still trolling for readers! Anyone want ot read my W.I.P.??? It's short- because I'm trying to keep it that way (unlike the RFN) and because I just started working it!!
Coincedentally as I'm reading The Decline and Fall of the British Empire the author says that Britain was so freaked out by the French Revolution that Britain really cemented it's empire at this time, adding vast holdings and solidifying its grip on places like India. So now I'm wondering how Indian dragons played a part.

Anyway! Anyone else? I figure I better update with this a few times since not everyone will read every post. But I don't need a lot of readers, just a couple people who'll give some criticism so maybe I can pull it from the suckage ranks and make it good. Mabe it will be good. Maybe I'll finish it!
Required reading Part 2
I picked up the last stack of library books/research for the RFN. They are:
From the Terrorist's Point of View ( What They Experience and Why They Come to Destroy) by Fathali Moghaddam- so far this one is pretty dry but I need it the most so I have to stick with it.
Ghost; Confessions of a Counterterrorism Agent by Fred Burton- this one is super exciting. It makes me wonder if he had a ghostwriter, which may be kind of mean, but seriously the prose is fantastic. This probably the second most important book I have to read.
Am I Dead Yet? A Journalist's Perspective on Terrorism by John Scully- this one has the stink iUniverse all over it. In a wierdly ranting bloglike preface the author basically says he wrote it for his grandson. But the book is thin and I can give it a shot. It's an angery book, and the anger so far seems to be aimed at the news media and the public's lack of education. That terrorism is part of a vast and long reaching historical perspective that goes far beyond a sound bite. The events of today are simply the repurcussions of events from , decades, even hundreds of years ago.
For fun reading:
Sweep books 3 and 4, Bloodwitch and Dark Magick. The more of these bnooks I read the more addicting they are. Like Wiccan crack. I'm on Bloodwitch now. Not too far in. I have all my required reading to read but the Sweep books are so fast and entertaining they are hard to put down.
Oh, and I just found the funniest comic ever! It's really filthy so be prepared! The whole thing is short vignettes often dirty and all of them funny http://www.oglaf.com/

The OTHER thing I'm working on, a... I guess YA book could use a couple readers. I'm going to send it through the Critters grist mill as well, but I was wondering if anyone out there would be vaguely interested. It's got werewolves and vampires- I'm sorry. You have my apologies in advance.
Well, I sure do know how woo don't I?
The first chapter is almost typed and I'm almost done writing the second chapter. You'll get it slowly if you want to read it. Very slowly.Basically as I get things done. But it might be good for some giggles. Make you feel better about your own work at the very least.
Oh, and I'll e-mail it to you. I don't want to post it for the entire web to see.
Give it some thought.

So my current stack of library books are:
Conquest: How Societies Overcome Others by David Day
The Decline and Fall of the British Empire 1781-1997 by Peirs Brendon
Terrorism and Homeland Security by Jonathan White.
I'm trying to plow through all three. Although the British Empire is 600+ pages long. Conquest is shorter thank heavens and the last book on terrorism is a textbook which means I can skip anything I don't need to read. Although I have to say so far all of them are pretty compelling. The Decline and Fall of the British Empire 1781-1997 is particularly well written. It begins with the American Revolution and the opening couple of paragraphs paint an amazing scene of the British surrendering at York Town. I'm not a big reader of non-fiction, I like my history in TV documentary form, but I will say I'm always surprised by how well written non-fiction often is. I know this some wierd reverse snobbism but it's true! I always expect crappy highschool textbook like writting and of course I'm always wrong!
So perhaps if you are reading this you are wondering what the RFN is about? Well, think of it as a politcal thriller without the thrills. It's also a vampire novel devoid of romance and a YA book that has nothing to do with sex. 600 handwritten pages in and NOTHING has exploded. The prose is borderline old fashioned and the entire thing is first person told in the form of diary entries. It pretty much IS a Russian novel, which was once humorously described as people with unpronouncable names talking for 500 pages, and then someone's aunt dies. In my case I think it's going to be closer to 600 (typed) pages of people with funny names talking and then something explodes. And get this- if I live long enough there may be a sequel.
For fun reading list:
His Majesty"s Dragon by Naomi Novik. Yeah, yeah, these books have been out forever and I'm late to the party. Well I picked up the forst three Temeraire books at the used book store. They were cheap and WTH. Anyway HMD makes me think that my book MAY (emphasis on the MAY) be publishable. It's a longish book, and not until page 231 is there anything resembling action. That sounds harsh. It's a good book but not quite the mind-blower that it's hyped up to be.
The Coven: Sweep #2. I borrowed the first Sweep book from a friend's bookshelf and liked it well enough to check out the second book in the series from the library. It's a fast read with short chapters, teen angsting, and a pretty fair representaion/introduction to Wicca that could easily send the curious to the bookshop for some more acurate material. They are old books but that shouldn't be held against them. This series is sort of my own template for another book I want to write and I want it shorter than the RFN.
I think I've actually become really serious about wanting to be an author. Not just a comic book writer, although I love comics still and would write them in a heartbeat if given the chance. But I'm tired of depending on artists who are perhaps the LEAST dependable people on the planet- I defy to name a flakier group. And I MAY be decent enough at prose to have a go at it myself.

I just realized my laptop is about 3/4 years old. The poor battery has no juice left! I have to have it plugged in all the time while I'm using it now or it dies in about 20 min. I would replace it if I had the money. Well, maybe someday...
I'm still woring on my cabaret fairies and the RFN, and a YA book I'm trying to write. It began life as a comic but may become a book book. I'm typing- yes TYPING, chapter one so I can get it up on Critters.org. I have contributed two critiques to that already and am a member in good standing! LOL! Not officialy, but my contribution ratio (?) is in good order.
I gotta draw more. I'm gonna put the effort in! I swear!

I have been building up my credit on Critters. At some point I will hopefully have soemthing to post. I was working on a short story but that hasn't been going well. I am also trying to start another book, aside from The Russian Fucking Novel which is now up to 611 pages hand written.
I rented Monster in a Box from Netflix. It's a monologue by Spalding Grey sort of about this monster of a fictionalized memoir/novel he wrote which came out to 1900 pages- not kidding! And was 2 years over due to Knopf. I was hoping he would talk more about writing but he talked mostly about the events in his life during the four year period of writing it. I was however gratified to know that I'm not the only person on earth psycho enough to HAND WRITE. I can't even imagine how long 1900 page typed is in long hand! Grey wrote the whole book long hand and then took it to a typist as he went. Optimistically I am halfway through the RFN which will put me at 1200 handwritten pages and a little under 600 pages typed. I have been writing it for a little over a year now and that leaves one more year of work on the rough draft. I am a fucking idiot...

And the third iteration of Cabaret Fairy #3's outfit. I'm leaning toward feathers but I'm having a hard time getting them to look like feathers, especially the "skirt"
I was looking at feather "fascinators" on Etsy along with some showgirl/burlesque corsets and that helped a lot. The funny thing about drawing lately is I don't really do it much. It feels like it's taking time from my writing and I think I should be writing all the time- not that I do for Pete's sake, but still- so when I draw I feel like I'm taking time away from my REAL work. Both are technically real. The cabaret fairies will be made into the stamps, the paper dolls submitted to publications. But I just can't seem to shake the feeling. I used to draw far more than I wrote but this past year or so that's been changing. Despite my utter fail of comics career.
I actually did my first critique on Critters.org and it was okay. I mean I didn't offend anyone even though I forgot the what seems to be mandatory disclaimer of "this is only my opinion- take or leave it". If I ever submit anything I think I'm going to put in the author's note- you don't have to coddle me. I will remember the disclaimer next time.
I am sad The Beautiful Life was cancelled! I KNOW no one else is! But seriously it had the WORST time slot ever! I mean I know they wanted to keep the America's Next Top Model audience- but seriously CW? You put it oppisite Criminal Minds? WTF? They should have put it on Tuesday which is a black hole of suck! I mean jeezus! How many NCISs does the world need? I used to watch NCIS for the first 3-5 seasons??? But I've been blowing it off the last 2 years as I'm not interested anymore and with House on Mondays there is NOTHING to watch on Tuesday!!!! At least nothing that isn't boring. Let's face it- CW totally could have spiced up Tues with TBL.

This is the whole group. It was a pretty good group of dolls for only having about six people come. I brought six dolls. Sard, Kurumi, Souxsie, Bon Bon, Starr, and Scylla.
I have to say, the more I see LittleFees the more I'd like one. But I said at the meetup "I only buy limited Edition" And the hostess laughed and said "Your one of those people aren't you?" OMG! Totally! I do try from time to time to own standards, then some awesome LE comes out and I sell them to buy it. I'm a little sorry I'm one of those people, I wish I could just standard editions and be happy. Then we were asked "Who has something on layaway" and of course I have to raise my hand. Since Bygg got me..
And speaking of LEs the Volks One-Offs are up. Competition is going to be horrendous. I don't know why they think 10 is acceptable for basically the WHOLE of North America to enter the lottery for. The One-Off Ruby is nice and the Suigintou is really nice but I think I've resigned myself to never getting about 99% of dolls I'd like to from Volks. I wonder how many other people give-up on Volks? I mean the periodic bone they see fit to throw out once in awhile gives a false impression of hope. But frankly I find it funner to actually get the doll I want as opposed to losing ALL the time. Call me crazy but it just feels better.

I might send a couple of my flash fics to Flash Fiction Online. See if they will 'print' them. I have two that never placed anywhere. One Humor horror an one literary.
Man TV sucks this year! ALL the shows I watch are all on the same days conflicting with each other. Mon, Wed, and Thurs. Which also leaves absolutely nothing to watch on Tues and Friday. I have been sucked into The Beautiful life but t conflicts with Glee and Criminal Minds both of which I LOVE. So sadly I'll try and watch episode on Hulu or something. Video working on my internet and computer are kind or miss. Maybe it'll work. With luck TBL will come out on DVD and I can just get it from Netflix.

I am also happy they added Elena to the FCS heads at long last. I have had the idea for a BW FCS Elena named Ahiru and slightly based off Ahiru from Princess Tutu. I LOVE that show! From one end to the other! I just wish there was more of it! What a great anime that was!
Speaking of TV shows no one watched but me- this is in refference to Style on CNN not Princess Tutu- anyone out there ever watch "I'll Fly Away" ? That was the show that put Sam Waterston on the map for me. It was also just a really cool drama! I keep hoping it will come out on DVD one of these days so I can rent it from Netflix.
