I've Created A Monster

[desoto_hia873]

I was just on the phone with Jim discussing tickets for William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy's appearance at SFX in September. In an attempt to be all frugal and whatnot, I suggested just getting silver passes. That way, he could get one autograph, I'd get the other, and we'd save a little money. Celebrity whore that he has become, however, that was just not enough--he wants two autographs from each of them (one on his DVD inserts and one on a photograph he bought at TT20). He couldn't quite talk himself into the VIP pass, but was panting after the gold one. So, gold passes it is. And he wants all four autographs that we are now entitled to.

He so owes me now. ::evil laugh::

When looking at the SFX website, I saw that James Callis, who plays Dr. Gaius Baltar on BSG, is going to be there. Yay! I only started watching the series two weeks ago, but he's already my favourite character. He's such a spineless loon--he just cracks me up. I need a Gaius icon.

And, of course, yay for Morena Baccarin and Juliet Landau too. Oh, and Carrie Fisher--I have Star Wars episodes IV-VI on DVD. It's going to be a busy day.

Still haven't posted about WriterCon--will do that tomorrow when I need a break from the cod.

OMG! Gaius! Luckyyy.

It is possible that I am well on my way to becoming a celebrity whore as well. :-)

So while he's standing in line, I'm thinking....pink drinks?

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

Yes, there will be a lot of line-standing--no Grand Giveaway passes to this one. :-(

I think we should make hanging out in the Royal York an annual event!

Oooo Gaius Baltar! *gets the vapors*

I'm offically jealous!

*gets the vapors*

Hee! No kidding. And that accent... yum.

Oh, Gaius is my fave too! He's such a sweaty, hyperactive little weasel. LOVE him.

Somewhere on the added features of the miniseries or S1, one of the writers said that in the miniseries, they didn't actually write Baltar to be funny. And then they looked at what the actor DID with it, went "Oh!" and wrote him funny ever after.

He really is.

It's good that Gaius wound up being funny--the show might well have ODed on seriousness if he hadn't.

I get to see you again! My brother got his gold pass today, so you can all throw paper airplanes at me. You all have more sense than me (but I get a photo with *gasp* Denny Crane!

Yup, I just won't go away. :-)

I don't think it's occurred to Jim yet that he won't get his photo taken with Kirk and Spock. Toronto Trek really addicted him--I expect to hear groans about it soon.
