Arrant Nonsense

Drive's been cancelled.

I guess people would rather watch TRASH like "The Wedding Crashers" or "The Littlest Groom" than something with interesting characters, an engaging plot, and pretty cars. *growls*

They've only filmed six episodes. We may, the word from On High says, get the last two eps sometime in May, on consecutive Fridays. What I want is a boxed set of "Drive" and "The Inside," together. Am I going to get it? Eh, probably not. I swear, Fox has the crappiest track record in the world when it comes to Tim's shows. "Wonderfalls" was cancelled after three episodes, IIRC. *snuggles my box set of that show leik whoa*

In other news, the Hubby set his pants on fire doing some welding repair work on his race car. He came in and told me that his ankle felt warm, he looked down, and AUGH! Fortunately, it didn't burn through his pants, let alone his sock, so he's all right. *shakes head*

On the weight-losing front, I've actually been succeeding in doing it. We bought a new scale (finally), and it measures in even tenths of a pound. Apparently I'm doing something right, because I've been losing a steady four-tenths of a pound a day for the last week and a half or so. I was 132.8 this morning, which I haven't seen since before Thanksgiving, and I've dropped all the weight I gained in Moab plus a smidge.

And I just got an email from Writers of the Future telling me that they got my entry for the second quarter. *crosses fingers*

Okay, yes. I'm hooked. Fast cars (and pickups! and minivans! HOW AWESOME IS THAT???) are my weakness. Add Tim Minear, Nathan Fillian, and Amy Acker to the mix, and I'm in for the long haul. I also saw the dude that played Jubal Early, and K Callan, who played Clark's mom in "Lois and Clark"--if anyone cares, she's on the motorcycle.

So, yes. I like the characters, the premise is interesting enough for me, and I have hopes that Fox has promoted the hell out of this enough that they won't just cancel it out of hand. Here's hopin' that Tim's fourth time is the charm.

As of shutting the computer down last night, I have 693 words in my WerewolfFic. And here is where things are going to go disastrously wrong.

*evil laughter*

Also? NASCAR today, baby!

AND! Drive, tonight! Tim! And Nathan! And Amy! And fast cars! *flails* And Fox has been promoting the hell out of it, so maybe, just maybe, it'll survive past four episodes.
