gryfndor_godessTHE ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT MOVIE IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING, AND THEY ARE SHOOTING 9-10 MORE EPISODES!!!!!
ALFDKJADLFJALDFJLADF BARRING ANOTHER HARRY POTTER BOOK, THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER.
Though it is only "80% certain," since Hurwitz and Howard are finishing getting the legal rights, the actors are all on board, Jason Bateman has tweeted definitively about it, and they are already talking about a shooting schedule! Hopefully next summer they'll shoot it all in one go so the episodes can play in the fall and the movie can premiere early 2013!
I feel like I have something in life to live for again!!!
(Not that I ever feel suicidal. But I don't see much point in the world other than my family and friends. Harry was the exception. I used to think, "Whatever happens, I absolutely cannot die until after the last Harry Potter book comes out," and it's been four years since Deathly Hallows came out and I haven't had anything else to look forward to in life, and NOW I DO AGAIN.)
I am hopeful that this announcement will sustain me this week because I have three midterms and I didn't get anything done this weekend because I went home to see my aunt, who was visiting from NY.
Other brief thoughts:
1. I haven't written any more of my Seasonal_Spuffy story than I had a month ago. As in, I have 3,000 words. It's my first time officially contributing when I won't have a completed, 20,000+-word fic, and even though it's silly and all in my own head, I feel like I won't be living up to expectations. I'll probably have 5,000-8,000 words, or approximately two chapters of the novella I'm "officially" working on. That's assuming I can get over my neuroses and post it in the first place. It's set really far in the future in my HEA-verse, and I am weirdly nervous about posting it for SS because I feel like people will side-eye it and be like, "Why would we want to read about a verse with all these OCs, etc.?" Which is irrational because it's not the way I feel when I see people's fics from their own verses. Anyway, since it's my verse, I feel very protective and anxious about posting in general because if people don't like it, it means they don't like my OCs, my interpretations of Spuffy's future, etc. I expect my attitude will improve when I actually get back into the swing of writing. Next week is fall break, and since I have three fucking midterms this week, next weekend I shall have next to no homework and have blocked off the time for writing. It'd be great to have a chunk of the fic written since it will be my first posted WIP...
2. I watched a Castle episode tonight, and in it the victim was sliced in half a la Caleb. Nathan Fillion reacted with particular horror, and I started cackling inside. I really hope it was on purpose.
3. There's something else short and sweet I've been meaning to blog about, but I can't remember what it was. Oh well. At least LJ seems to be working again. *knock on wood and fingers crossed*

Knowing the Castle staff, they probably did do it on purpose.

Date: 2011-10-03 02:15 am (UTC)When Castle (I think Castle? Maybe Ryan or Esposito) said that no man deserved that sort of death, I was thinking, you don't know Caleb... Actually, I was also thinking, this victim was very purposefully trying to rape the woman and had done so to other women before, and you're defending him??

Date: 2011-10-03 01:24 am (UTC)AAAAH!!! THIS IS THE KIND OF NEWS THAT COULD GET ME OUT OF MY DEPRESSION! I've been seriously down all week, ever since I realized my sister's life is perfect and mine is crap, so this was MOST WELCOME NEWS!
I hear you on the "something to live for" front, where you know you're not suicidal but you need something to look forwards to, something to bring you joy. I've been that way all week, just holding on until the Doctor Who finale. And this is such great news!!

Date: 2011-10-03 02:20 am (UTC)I am so glad!! I was wondering if you had read about it already and was thinking I needed an @Eilowyn function like on Facebook.
It's actually a relief to know I'm not alone in that.
Oh goodness, I actually want to make a physical countdown calendar. I don't think I've done that since Deathly Hallows. Now I just need the actual date...

Date: 2011-10-03 02:48 am (UTC)absolutely not alone on the paranoia front. I'm putting off reading other entries until the day after my posting day, because reading them occasionally sends me into fits of panic.

Date: 2011-10-03 03:04 am (UTC)Arrested Development is one of those shows that had a PERFECT ending. Doing more will inevitably screw it up. Have we learned nothing from the Buffy comics?!
