Okay, so today's post isn't so much about me being JEALOUS of my friends, but rather, happy for them in a damn-that-lucky-bastard-I-wish-that-was-me kinda way. All of these things came in my inbox already this week.

Mac and Dinah meet the Buffy All Stars.

This was the subject line: ready to be jealous?
This was the email:

"mAc & I went to the "High Stakes with Joss Whedon" event in Hollywood yesterday. We met EVERYONE. I'm sure this goes without saying, but it was AWESOME."

And right there was this photo of Allison Hannigan (Willow) and Dinah (lucky brat) getting all friendly. This was followed by ten photos of her and Mac hanging out with the Buffy/Angel cast and crew. The two that really sent me over the edge were their photos with Buffy creator (and current, awesome Astonishing X-men scribe) Joss Whedon.



Here's a photo of Mac (smug bastard) with Joss.

Wait. I didn't even meet him like they did, so maybe I can't really
call him Joss. I guess I should've wrote: Here's a photo of Mac and Mr.
Whedon.

sigh.

Creators of Saw vs. Orange

This was the subject line: RE: Aloha
This was the email:

"The writer and director of SAW are superpissed at me right now...Go
read my interview at movieweb. They wanted fluff questions. I didn't want to give them fluff questions. It's a movie about people digging keys out of their gut for godsake."

This one isn't so much that I wish I was there or anything, but rather
that I'm impressed. Old college buddy, Orange is a film critic in L.A.,
and part of his job is to interview various celebrities about their
films for Movieweb. In one of his latest interviews - with the creators of
SAW - he maybe asked all the WRONG questions. So, I guess I'm impressed
with his total lack of decorum - which is why his reviews are so damn
funny. And, I didn't think the interview was all that bad, actually.

Oh yeah. Here's the interview: [link]

Audio and his EQ2 Adventures

This was the subject line: EQ2 Anybody?
This was the email:

"Guess who's in EQ2 beta bitches!!!!!? (that's the pre-release testing version for those of you who may not know). That's right, Audioscience is."

Oh man. My friends and I have been waiting for EQ2 forever, and one of
my pals got the invite to play EQ2. But, rather that wait to hear
lengthy explanations about how fun the game is - we made him come over to
my house and fucking show it to us.



Here he is letting Melinda look, but not touch.



Here's Audio totally blowing my mind with some rad medieval wizardry.



And, as soon as he let us take control of the game, the first thing I
did was make myself a hot half-elf cleric. Aww yeah.
It's gonna be a long two weeks waiting for that damn game to come out.

sigh.
