Alias fans unite!!

I discovered today while reading People magazine (did I just actually write that publicly?!) that there is a big chance that Vaughn's character will not be returning to the show this season. I repeat, Vaughn is quite possibly NOT returning to Alias. They killed him off, supposedly.

Do you understand the weight of this??

Are you paying attention??

THIS WOULD BE HUGE. In a terrible way. I can't figure out if ABC or JJ Abrams has a death wish. Or maybe they've been too distracted by the success of Lost to figure out that a show about people lost on an island can only go so far...

I dunno. But I DO know that they are on the verge of losing this fan for sure. But it won't be that easy, because I will be bitter. You can't just take Vaughn from me and except me to take it laying down. I will fight. I will write letters. I will boycott. I will engage in the warfare necessary in these times.

Alias CANNOT survive without Vaughn. Hello, writers, you cannot create one of the greatest characters on the show, and one who has gained such a huge fan base, and then KILL HIM OFF. That's not the way it works.

Sydney's having a baby, for crying out loud. That's enough change for a season, don't ya think?

I'll get off my soapbox for now. But people, if you have any love at all, go to the website above and make your voice heard....

Who knew it would ever come to this??

One more thing...

Be warned...it's got some pretty graphic stuff, in terms of what people share. But there is something about the vulnerability of this art, the sharing of weakness and sin, that seems like a step in the right direction.

Granted, it is a very small step. But a step is more than nothing.

I have a confession

Apparently it is a cardinal sin to not bow down and worship the game of football, specifically the game played by a certain team here in Georgia known as the Bulldogs. I was reminded of my oddity today as I tiptoed into the world of SEC football, watching little bits of The Game on ESPN and joining in on that thing called Tailgating.

There's definitely nothing wrong with it, with the festivities and fun and free-flowing beer and even the game itself.

I'm just not that into it. Blame it on my childhood, growing up in the formative hands of a Latin teacher mother and a Not-Into-Sports-Except-Baseball-Maybe father. Or on my having spent 4 rather developmental undergrad years at a little school in the Midwest.

Whatever it may be, my football appreciation seems to be, at least for the moment, only as developed as my ability to acknowledge that 'Gee, Athens sure does turn into a crazy town on gamedays'.

Maybe I'll convert over the next 2 years. I'm not sure I have a choice...

(Especially, Carrie, if you have anything to with it.) :)
