Spinning on that dizzy edge

The Emperor's glasses were lost last Friday at day camp and recovered Monday. I'm glad we had the spare pair to tide us over, and even gladder that the new ones were found. It would have run us at least $350 to replace them. *phew*

We're losing "Chuck", which makes me sad, but I can understand it - they've had a good run, they weren't canceled in the middle of a storyline, and I still love what they're doing. But honestly, I'm fonder of the show than anything more passionate at this point, and there doesn't seem to be much more for them to cover.

However, I am seething FURIOUS at SyFy for canceling "Eureka". It's all my fault, again, some more, because the Fates heard me exclaim out loud how much I love this show, and sought to punish my hubris. I loved what Wil Wheaton posted on his blog, and further on his G+: "ICYMI, here's Amy Berg on Eureka's cancellation: "Everyone is asking why. It's simple, really. We are the network's golden child in every way, except profit margins. Fact is, Eureka is an expensive show to make. And we could not maintain the quality of our show with the cuts it would take to make us profitable for Syfy's new parent company. Our creative execs at Syfy fought hard to keep us. Trust me, they LOVE us. We just couldn't make the numbers work."" Also this cartoon, because really, SyFy, when you let your cast find out about a cancellation from a new release and don't tell them yourself, it's a totally jerkwad move. Not that I'd expect anything else from them. Throw another goddamned wrestling show or Ghosthunters clone on the barbie and pony up for what keeps actual Sci-Fi fans coming back for more.

But enough whining - tomorrow I'm off to Vividcon, and the anticipation is making me giddy. I'll get to meet so many people that have just been names on my screen until now. Woo-hoo!

( They totally went there. )

LOVE.
