  • From Watch With Kristin at Eonline....

    This from my TV lady Kristin regarding the new Sci-Fi mini-series Tin Man:

    "The cast is top-drawer, the writing is even better, and if you like Lost, Battlestar or Pushing Daisies, plan to love it, because it's something like a mashup of all three (plus, Zooey Deschanel from Weeds). I foresee Pirates of the Caribbean/Harry Potter/Wicked-scale fandom erupting after y'all have seen it."

    Is she trying to talk directly to me???

    There's a flyer up by my apartment's mailboxes advertising a Halloween party for adults 21 and up.  Activities include "bobbing for beer."  Can you say score?
