The casting notice for the Ender's Game movie
Expanding on my post from yesterday…
First problem: the summary posted indicates that Ender is recruited at the age of 10 because of his skills as a gamer.
Second problem: The adults at Battle School are all considered leads, and there seems to be far more emphasis on the trials after the war than the book gave.
Third problem: Dap is listed as a military drill sergeant, and seems to...

I'd rather they didn't make Ender's Game than that...
But based on the casting notice that just went up, any fans of Ender’s Game should be really fucking worried about how badly they’re gonna butcher the book with the movie adaptation. Sigh.

The other day, I was describing to a friend what I would ideally want out of a relationship with a guy, and after hearing what I want, my friend called me misanthropic. In certain ways, I can’t dispute this. I don’t like having anyone in my space, I consider sex more of a physical activity than an intimate one, and I don’t like telling people how I feel. When it comes to dating,...

2010 Year in review
1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before?
The big achievement of the year: I got literary representation! I also began performing regularly with various improv teams at various venues (including playing a Cagematch), auditioned for Harold teams, discovered I like Indian food, and finally visited the Getty (on my birthday!).
2. Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions, and will...

So I've been off tumblr for a while...
And it seems in that time some people I know in the real world started following my tumblr, though tumblr failed to inform me of this as requested. So apologies if I actually know you and haven’t been following your blog, I think I just now rectified all cases but if I missed you somehow, let me know!
Happy birthday to me!

For some reason, I rarely think to go through my favorites list on Etsy when I plan to buy new clothes, but every time I go on Etsy to look at jewelry, I favorite a bunch of shirts. Must rewire circuits, I suppose.

I think the balance of people that believe Dave when he says this versus those that believe me when I say we’re not is shifting in Dave’s favor.

My Facebook news feed just displayed a post by a guy I’m into directly after a post by an ex-boyfriend. That sure underscored how much my taste in guys has changed over time.

-ultraviolence asked: Another person who watches The IT Crowd!! When did you become a fan, and what are your favorite episodes?
I can't wait for the new series as well. I personally think it's the funniest show on television. :)

It’s always a weird experience for me to watch the air version of an episode of something I went to the taping for. Watching Last Comic Standing right now, I’m bummed but not surprised to see that a lot of the funniest parts from the LA semi-finals didn’t make it in the episode.
