Day: May 12, 2003

Word is out that “Angel” has been renewed. Not only that, but James Marsters will be joining the cast as Spike, while Cordy will be remaining in a sustained coma (i.e., Charisma Carpenter is not expected back.) Which is a shame, but hey…nutty idea…maybe she wants to spend time with her baby. Unfortunately it also means that, for the time being, we’re going to remain unclear on whether she was just a vessel turned evil by the already existing baby, or Cordy went evil while in that other place, or maybe she was never Cordy to begin with, or what.

Interesting notion of having two vampires with souls on “Angel,” presuming that’s still Spike’s status. It means that every single prediction about “the vampire with a soul” suddenly gets called into question since we’re not sure to whom it refers.

Spent the weekend up in Boston attending Shana’s graduation from Berklee College of Music. I was pleased that she was willing to attend, since graduations are usually long (and often boring) affairs that bear no resemblance to the graduation in the movie “Fame.”

Adding some interesting kick to the graduation was that Steven Tyler of “Aerosmith” was given an honory doctorate, and handed out diplomas while official school photographers took pictures. Shana, steeling her nerve, walked up and kissed him on the cheek while the photographer snapped away. Then, overwhelmed by what she’d just done, she rabbited away as Tyler was about to say something to her, so she’ll never know what it was he was going to tell her. The school is supposed to send us pictures of it, at which point we’ll endeavor to get a picture to Tyler.

Sunday was Kathleen’s first mother’s day. We spent it going out to meals and at Babys R Us, picking up a high chair (actually, a booster seat) so we can start Caroline on solid food.

Peter’s been out of town (I’ll let him say why) so there haven’t been any posts this weekend from him.

I haven’t done my usual posting of BIDs in his absence because I was out visiting my mother and mother in law. And you should be doing so as well.

I could talk about the upcoming project… nah, you’ll hear about it soon enough.
