:D

Hello, y'all! I am back from vacation (which was lovely) and in the land of the cicada infestation (I can hear them constantly, inside, even with both the AC and my fan running). I ate lots of shrimp and managed not to get burnt and read lots and lots of books and generally had quite a nice time.

So! I'm sure I missed stuff! Links in the comments to the mucho important stuff, if you please! Otherwise it might take me quite a while to wade through my flist. :D

I hope life has been treating you well since I went away. Feel free to tell me about anything and everything. I missed y'all! *smooches*

Being Human US: A Casting

Contrary to the way I tend to rant whenever I hear that one of my favorite shows/movies is being remade, I don't think all remakes are a bad idea. In fact, I think taking the premise of one story and going in a completely different direction with it can result in something pretty awesome. It's just that this so very rarely happens.

So when I heard that the Syfy Channel was remaking Being Human, I wasn't entirely furious...until it became clear that they'd just changed the names and dropped the Britishness but otherwise had reshot the entire pilot with far less endearing actors. Then I was not pleased. And being me, I started casting (yes, this has been waiting to be posted since before the US show aired. Sorry it took me so long).



So think of this as what could have been.

The premise is the same: a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost all live together and try to have a normal life, which proves difficult considering that their supernatural natures keep getting in the way. But that's where the similarities end.
