Frustrating annoying day...but incredibly pretty outside...sigh.

Anywho..for anyone else who is a JM fan and is having a frustrating day, swiped from petzepellingo (whose lj name I can never remember how to spell):

"JAMES MARSTERS JOINS CBS HIT DRAMA WITHOUT A TRACE

James has been cast in a recurring/guest star role on the hit CBS one hour drama Without A Trace. He will portray ‘Detective Mars’, who is described as: mid 30s to 40. Attractive in a real way, a bright, full-of-life personality, charming, possibly from around the Washington DC area, so could have a slight southern accent. Mars is a Police Detective who has started to investigate what seems to be a ring of Human Trafficking. He has information our FBI team is interested in and comes to New York to speak to Vivian about what he knows. Eventually he will become part of a task force to deal with Human Trafficking. GUEST STAR, RECURRING ROLE.

The role films in both New York and Los Angeles."

Apparently they got it from his web site. Will say this much, Without A Trace is a lot more enjoyable than Saving Grace or the Law & Orders, CSI's I've tried to watch. It also has a bit more grit to it than Bones, which is weak in the writing dept. Not a huge fan of procedurals, but I don't mind this one so much.

liz_marcs links to a really wonderful essay by Wil Wheaton of Star Trek the Next Generation fame about fan conventions.

I have to admit - I don't understand why people go to fan conventions. It sounds like pure hell to me. Crowds. Noise. Lectures. Long Lines. But, I don't understand going to regular conventions either. I avoid going like the plague - and I have an organization I joined a while back in which I probably should try and go to a few conventions with, because you know, NETWORKING! But, ack, convention. Would rather go to the dentist personally - for me the dentist isn't that bad, just basic cleaning no cavitis, but still.. Why pay money and vacation time to do something I hate? No thank you. But I know people who love the things, adore them. Boggles my mind. Just have to jot it down as one of those things I don't understand and leave it at that.
