Comment on More sweetness and light from the Greatest Woman Ever by Nathan

Wow. Just… wow.

I mean…

Wow.

I had not thought that small-minded, petty people like her had either the minimal intelligence necessary for internet use or the attention span necessary for sustained hate. Once more, I have been proved wrong, and my assessment of how low examples of humanity can stoop must descend another level on the elevator.

Late to the announcement, as usual. Condolences for the death of a relationship, but I wish you best of fortune in future ones.

Comment on A soul-rending voice by Ian Michael Hamet

Adrian,

I’m delighted that you stopped by. Miss Crowe’s voice is, as I said, amazing, and her music is moving.

As for agendas, I wasn’t too worried, really, but since I hadn’t paid attention to the lyrics for “Disease” (which confession probably annoys any singer-songwriter) I wanted to be clear about what it was that I liked — the music, her voice, and the emotion.

Scott,

No, I’ve not heard of Neko Case. I’ll put her in my “to listen” list now, though.

Delighted you feel as you do about Allison Crowe’s music.

fyi, I serve as manager to Allison – and, can assure you, there need be no worry. She has no agenda other than expressing herself through music.

Thanks for digging it.

Do you ever listen to Neko Case? She popped up on the ipod the other day on the plane. If you like girl singers, I bet you’d like her.

Comment on Dollhouse: “Briar Rose” analysis by Ian Michael Hamet

Shea:

It’s possible that Alpha was not sending the messages, but he has to have been aware of the second mole/organization in great detail, at the very least. He knew where the Dollhouse was, but he needed a big and sustainable distraction to accomplish his goals, and that distraction was Ballard. If I implied anything else, I didn’t mean to. The point was, for Ballard to work as a distraction, he had to get most of the way himself, with Alpha tagging along to put them through the “shell”.

And yeah, it’s tough not to think of Alan Tudyk as Wash, especially when he’s in goofy mode. I miss Wash.

I’m not convinced Alpha was sending the messages… Why would Alpha care about whether or not Ballard knows the purpose of the Dollhouse or that there are multiple Dollhouses? No, I think Alpha may have caught wind of Ballard’s investigation, but it seems a stretch to say he sent the messages.

On another note: Why wouldn’t Alpha have known where the Dollhouse was anyway? He left from there, after all. And Ballard didn’t find a way in, Alpha himself did. I think Alpha was just using Ballard as a distraction.

P.S. I had a hard time not typing “Wash” every time I meant “Alpha” in the preceding comment.
