New Layout

I got a new layout. I kind of love it to pieces. All the little... details... and the... pretty... and... *sigh*
And since I now have a permanent account -- such a blessing and such a curse (when my mom saw my Visa bill) -- I overdosed on icons. A lot of them. And it has been brought to my attention that, had anyone elected to be notified whenever I upload a userpic, I may have just broken their e-mail inbox. So... well, crap. I am so sorry. I suggest you remove that notification feature, though. I used to use it, but it got seriously irritating.
My N&D-related stress levels have gone way down, thanks to my realization of three things: a) even if "Night and Day" doesn't get picked up now, that doesn't mean it won't get picked up later in the year, because b) TNT is looking to introduce seven original hourlongs to the schedule for 2009, and c) TNT is known to pick up series sporadically throughout the year, not just at upfronts and similarly official-type events. So that's good news.
I watched "The A-Team" today. Dwight Schultz has a hell of a good singing voice. I also watched a ton of "Bones" episodes, and noticed that Father Scanlon from "Invasion" is in... y'know, that episode where Zack discovers graphic novels. The one with the dying kid who pretends to be a superhero, and works at a bowling alley. That one. You know the one.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, by the way. I'm not good about making obligatory greeting posts. My New Year was probably the most quiet I've ever had... I watched Tropic Thunder and The Duchess with my mom, and we ordered Vietnamese and indulged in some alcoholic beverage consumption. And by that I mean that I had a lime cooler. I'm not really a drinker. Tropic Thunder was a little crude for my tastes, but I laughed my head off at Tom Cruise's final dance number. That was amazing.
My train back to rez is on Sunday. Boo. I hate sleeping in the same room as another person.

Augh. *stresses out*
I'm not going to wish you a Merry Christmas just yet because even though it is technically Christmas, it's not Christmas DAY, it's just late on Christmas Eve night. Because I say so.
So earlier today I was writing up an ~exposé~ (I guess it wasn't really an exposé but it WAS because I say it was) on some of the aspects of the road to becoming a series for "Night and Day"... potential release dates, promotional periods, etc. I know. I've been really obsessed with it lately, you have no idea.
And I came across this article, which is awesome and informative, but includes the following excerpt:

And then there are the pilots, five of them, all featuring big-name talent and all in various stages of production. [...] Michael Wright, senior VP of the content creation group for Time Warner-owned Turner Networks, clearly has a lot to mull over between now and the start of the year. At that point, he says, one, or maybe even two of these new projects will be selected for series greenlight.

What?! Only one or two? That's... that's...
And I proceeded to freak out. 20% to 40% chance of a order to series is not good enough for me. I've been thinking all this time that... look, it's TNT, they're looking to expand enormously on their quotient of original content, it's gold. It's in. Turns out? It's going to be a little trickier than I thought.

So how about we take a peek at the competition?

I mean, only if you want to. )

So can we discount that fourth competitor? I'm going to say yes, just to make myself feel better. 25%-50%... I like those odds better.
