was going to scan recaps of 24 season 3 epis 1 - 3 . . .
searched 24 twop recaps and happened onto few things of int, esp the news now over a month old, that the TWoP founders left the site. huh! read about that -
plus older reaction to last years acquisition of TWoP by Bravo -

incl hits of two blogs coincidentally both cat-named (and generally re pop culture offerings) that I'll take a look around:
Newscat bitchkittie.blogspot : Newsy ramblings about media, candy, pop culture and politics from a woman who spent $60,000 earning a master's degree studying The Daily Show. hit was for March post re the TWoP founders leaving.
&
Cat Bus Express catbusexpress.blogspot nyanko and (ever so occasionally) totoro muse on tv, movies, and other brain-washing media offerings. hit was for old post Jan05 24 Recap on TWOP : The Television Without Pity recapper has a moment of pure genius when coming up with nicknames for the character who is the Secretary of Defense. DoD -> DaD. And then gives his daughter the nickname of DoDder. Heh. - nyanko
but good, the blog is still active & it's appealing that current top post, today, is of int to me
Alicia Silverstone TV show pilot : Apparently, Alicia Silverstone really wants to be on a TV show, and unlike most stars, doesn't want to do movies. She has been cast in [ABC pilot Bad Mother's Handbook] about a 32 year old mother, with a 16 year old daughter (Maeby from Arrested Development) and her 48 year old mother. It's basically Gilmore Girls, but with a really young grandmother too...
and this item: Whedonesque page re TWoP recap of Serenity. much praise for the recap!!
by Jacob. the link of course d n work (as site was revamped, changed urls, so links to the back-archive of recaps d n work. forums too? not sure) and only leads to the current twop home page. probably can find it with the Firefly recaps.
so read it and maybe see the movie ~ read wkp about the premise of the series Firefly ('naturalistic' future setting) which is continued in the movie Serenity ('space western' - so ~ naturalistic still?)
-note that 'Serenity' was also the name of the original pilot for the series. a new pilot was made and the original only aired later on. (so then it is not co-incident with the film? Serenity the pilot was chronolog at the beginning of the time arc of the series, right? and the film is after?)
-I settled to my satisfaction that the recap is about the film by searching 'Miranda' and finding it on the wkp page for the film and *not* on the wkp page for the Serenity pilot. (again, safe to conclude that the two concern different events, characters? )


meanwhile detours to
#idealist job site (listing via clare. wdc community cnnxns. research asst. tracking studies for mental health provider).
#Marquette bldg mentioned by joe. that's the downtown MacArthur Fndtn bldg. looks like the small store there is probably going to happen, hmm...
#big hardcov ModernLibr book passing through The Adventures of Amir Hamza caught attention "traditional storytelling at its poetic height" ... "seminal Islamic epic" ... "one of the great narratives of Persian and Islamic culture"

so am I hyped, well.
