RE: HEROES / TIM KRING
Hi All,
There have been a lot of rumors going around the internets lately. And I’ve read some hateful things on twitter… and even stuff about our show being canceled. And actually even a full on article about HEROES and killing off members of the show, and about how people are told that they’re no longer on the show, and all that. Let me address this in a few sentences here, because as a member of the HEROES family (and I’ve been here since midway through season 1) I can personally vouch for a lot of things and as THE assistant to Tim Kring, I want to say a few things.
1.) Tim is a great guy. He’s honest, hardworking, smart and really super nice. That’s all. I couldn’t ask for a kinder boss or a more talented and successful person to look up to.
2.) There has been one (1) death on this show that has been discovered by an actor by reading a script and not being told - and it was a limited VERY rough draft that was only given to department heads such that they could scout locations, get wardrobe, etc. In a wardrobe fitting the actor found the script and saw it… And if you’re curious - that scene was later changed anyhow and so it was irrelevant and he got upset over nothing.
3.) Anyone who has a legitimately mean or angry thing to say about a TV show REALLY needs to reevaluate and think. We’re not brain surgeons or miracle workers or murderers or thieves — we’re just a bunch of people (a family of almost 400 actually) who simply want to entertain and produce the best thing that we can.
4.) If you could see the scripts before they get notes - and I’m talking the Studio/Network notes… Generally they are much different from what ends up on the screen… so don’t lay all the blame on the writers — it takes a village.
5.) All we want is for people to enjoy themselves and think… If that’s not what good TV is about, then I’m wrong.
I don’t know. I just don’t understand how people can be SO mean to someone who hasn’t done anything malevolent or evil since the day I’ve met him 4 years ago.
I hope HEROES gets back on your radar, and I hope you all check it out at some point in the next few months (like maybe when the episode I wrote airs in January)… Go ahead and take a look - it’s among 2 or 3 shows that look like movies every week (Lost, Heroes and Mad Men - in my humble opinion.) We’re not trying to destroy your TV experience, just trying to tell a good story with some fun stuff that happens.

Clarity and Lindz (all all who dwell here who cares) those barfy jeans go for a buck forty USD or so I’m told. And also we don’t sell them. They are all for one customer. One insane ass-sparkly customer who loves them some butt yarn.
That’s an insanely sparkly assed customer with too much money for jeans. Please ask them for donations for me to have some (non sparkly) good jeans.
Are you ready for this?? Alan Ball: “Alexander Skarsgard appears without most of his clothes in the very first episode of S3.

I hate how bipolar the weather is this time of year.
I change from AC to heat every other day!!!!!!!!!
I am completely incapable of dressing for transitional weather. They tell me the secret is “layering” but ugh! That just means more articles of clothing to coordinate!
And figuring which shirt/sweater combo works together without you looking inappropriate at work by mid morning
YOU CAN PUT A WHOLE CHICKEN IN A CROCK POT.
YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS DOES FOR MY DIET AND MY FOOD BUDGET.
You can and it is juicy and delicious!! I wait until the have whole chickens on sale for $.69/lb, rub it down with some spices and throw it in the crock pot. It feeds Dan and I for 2-3 days, depending on how big it is/what sides I make with it.
I recommend taking the skin off before cooking it, though, because the skin gets weird and slimy.
I was just going to ask the skin question!
Or you can just remove the skin when its done.. it does get weird and slimy, but it slides right off.
my neighbour has an amazing Japanese maple tree on her front lawn. It’s my favorite kind of tree. It’s little red leaves are so tenacious! All the other trees are standing around either partially or fully naked and this little guy is fully dressed, enjoying the peep show.
pretty tree!
Concert tonight
Atlanta PRIDE was this weekend, along with Halloween. It rained, and I had my Halloween gathering last night, so the roommate and I decided against going to the park.
Last night, we went out to the bar after we were done watching movies and stuffing ourselves. We watched Dead Snow, which actually wasn’t scary, but we spent the whole time yelling at the TV, and it had Nazi Zombies, so was overall cool. At the bar, my work gay met my roommate and they like each other.
Today was the PRIDE parade, and they we went to the park and met up with various other friends. Most of the afternoon was with my coworkers. We were supposed to stay and watch another coworker perform in the cabaret, but it got really cold, and we were standing in mud and my feet were frozen, so we went home after the musical headliner.
The musical Headliner was Blake Lewis, btw. The cool beatbox guy from American Idol a couple seasons ago. He was really really good. Although I did occasionally watch American Idol when he was on, I didn’t realize that all the music on his CD is a drummer and him. He used various pedals and stuff, but totally even made the bass line and layered sounds with loops… it was very cool to see.
Finished Ghosties. They look really interested in what my roommate was doing.
So to make the ghosts, melt 3 tbsp of butter over low heat. When the butter is melted, add in 4 cups of mini marshmallows and melt those suckers too. Stir the mini marshmallows a lot while they are melting. When the Marshmallows are fully melted too, add in 6 cups of crisped rice cereal and stir to combine. Then take it off the heat and let it cool slightly. You’ll want the cereal mixture to be warm and pliable, but not so warm that it doesn’t stick together.
Form 1/2 portions of the cereal mixture into ghosties (or whichever shape you like). Then melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips in the microwave (microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave in 10 second increments, stirring every 10 seconds, until the chocolate chips are melted). Pour/spoon chocolate into a sandwich bag and squish all of it into one corner. Snip the corner off the bag to make a tiny hole. Use the chocolate to make faces on the Ghosts.
