Heeeee hee hee hee.  Best crossover idea EVAR.  Must ring the comic shop about this month's order...

ETA: On a related note, I am filled with confidence for Green Lantern's future. Geoff Johns, my favourite writer of the minute, is taking the ball and running with it. The video interview is most illuminating (if you're interested in comic book writers talking about how they write comic books) - the guy just lives and breathes comic books. I want to be him.

And so to the weekend.  I have given in to OMG WTF and told the local garage that, yes, I am willing to pay for a new part from Honda, please to be extracting my pound of flesh now thank you.  He's going to price it up and get back to me, should be able to do it on Monday.  I'm going to try to keep night-time driving to a minimum until then so my plans for the weekend are thusly.

Thursday night drinking in Notlob is, I'm afraid, not going to happen.  I could probably force the lights to work but TBH I'm none too keen on it.  Much though I love you all.  Friday night I'll stay in Ilkley too.  I was thinking about it anyway, since my sister's up from London.  Then I'll drive over to Manchester on Saturday morning - in the daylight - play maybe some Neverwinter Nights or Enter the Matrix or something and stay there for Saturday night.  (Maybe I'll read the new World of Darkness core rulebook some more and think about a Matrix adaptation ... Read more... ))

But anyway.

Sunday afternoon I'm planning to go to see The Incredibles at Bolton UGC (Because [livejournal.com profile] pkgem and [livejournal.com profile] stsquad are the only people who've expressed an interest/preference).  Probably the 2:45 showing to avoid driving home in the dark, or even the 1:40 just to be on the safe side.  Unless Alex wants to volunteer the services of his perfectly servicable vehicle, which would make a certain amount of sense.

Then I drive to work on Monday stopping only to drop my car off at the garage I hope.  He still has not called back with a price.  It is nervy.  I will let you know.

Sky know a good thing when they see it - in a joint bid with "a terrestrial broadcaster" (so, ITV or C4 then?) they have secured the UK broadcast rights to the Peacekeeper Wars.  It will not be shown on the BBC or Sci-Fi (UK), which seems a shame since the Beeb have been such staunch supporters of the show from the beginning (and obviously SF had a more direct hand in its creation, though I don't expect SFUK had a lot to do with that).

"Peacekeeper Wars will now be shown on Sky One on January 16 and 23 next year."  So now you know.

Here is the story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/news/cult/2004/11/16/15512.shtml
Check out the date of the report[1] - happy birthday to me, I guess.

[1] Also Ben Browder's arms.  Mmm.

Hee, some of those are eerily accurate[1].  "Ships ye'll sink and women ye'll plunder"?  Is that total, average or each?  Either way, it seems I'll likely come to a sticky end.

F'nar.
