This should help your morning...

A little bit of Aretha to get you going.

And some other things....

Max Allan Collins is set to write and direct two sequels to Road to Perdition.

There are some.... interesting theories going around about Batman RIP - http://io9.com/5062389/batman-rip-+-who-dies-and-whodunnit/ So. Ummmm. Yeah. If that one is true, fandom will likely explode.

This is awesome - http://blog.newsarama.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10002/normal_batgirl-chiang.jpg

Bruce Boxleitner and Morgan Fairchild are going to be on Chuck. I'm not going to spoil it for you. It'll be awesome.

What is getting me through...

So, I'm a jittery bundle of nerves today about tomorrow. That and I seem to be feeling .... a wee bit feverish. These two things together are making me not feel so very great today.

What is getting me through is watching West Wing bits on YouTube.

If anyone knows where I can watch entire episodes, I'd be appreciative.

Oh man.

Obama's grandmother passed away today.

WHAT?

Entertainment Weekly broke the news today that ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" has parted ways with Brooke Smith, who plays Dr. Eric Hahn on the popular show.

EW says this was not creator Shonda Rhimes' decision but rather an order that came down from the network. The ABC executives reportedly "had issues" with both the explicit direction Hahn's relationship with Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) was taking and with the Hahn character in general.


RAAAAAR! Explicit direction.... I have an explicit direction for ABC. This was a fantastic exploration of two women falling in love and being scared and generally just... fantastic. I loved it. And... Damn it.

Rar.
