Very interesting.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://seanmaher.info/excl20091206interview.html"&gt;Sean Maher interview&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dichen Lachman interviews:&lt;/b&gt; She’s a &lt;i&gt;Firefly&lt;/i&gt; fan!  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=3668"&gt;Dichen interview&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.novafm.com.au/Video_Dichen-Lachman-talks-LA-her-name-and-bad-acting-audition_97674?site=Nova919&amp;s=8"&gt;another Dichen interview (video)&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Beth Grant interview:&lt;/b&gt; She’s in one of my favorite movies, &lt;i&gt;Speed&lt;/i&gt;, and my favorite TV show, &lt;i&gt;Angel&lt;/i&gt;. Interesting interview.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.avclub.com/articles/beth-grant,36950/"&gt;Beth Grant interview&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Amy Acker interview:&lt;/b&gt; Huge fan of Amy Acker. :) &lt;i&gt;Happy Town&lt;/i&gt; sounds interesting.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://iesb.net/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=8150:interview-amy-acker-is-living-in-a-very-happy-town-&amp;catid=44:interviews&amp;Itemid=172&amp;utm_source=twitterfeed&amp;utm_medium=twitter"&gt;Amy Acker interview&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nathan Fillion interview&lt;/b&gt;. Always funny. :) I love the idea of Kids Need to Read. I read all the books in my grade school library as a kid and got depressed ‘cause I thought that was all the books in the world. (Which is why I became a writer! The world needed books!)   &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; I can’t believe there is actually a Richard Castle book!   &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2010/01/nathan-fillion-kids-need-to-read/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+wiredgeekdad+%28Blog+-+GeekDad%29"&gt;Nathan Fillion interview (audio)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401323820?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=vegantreehouse&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1401323820"&gt;“Heat Wave” by Richard Castle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Felicia Day on &lt;i&gt;Dollhouse&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/b&gt; Felicia answers fan questions about &lt;i&gt;Dollhouse&lt;/i&gt; in her blog.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://feliciaday.com/blog/dollhouse"&gt;Felicia Day blog&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;James Marsters Q &amp; A:&lt;/b&gt; Interesting Q &amp; A. I think there are five parts to it.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bKI1wn7ryw"&gt;James Marsters Q &amp; A (video)&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Alyson Hannigan interview:&lt;/b&gt; She’s funny and cool. This is an Australian radio interview. It’s the one from February 18th.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.safm.com.au/shows/hourofpower/listen/podcasts"&gt;Alyson Hannigan interview (audio)&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Alan Tudyk interview:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Tucker &amp; Dale vs. Evil&lt;/i&gt; looks/sounds hilarious.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.collider.com/2010/02/03/alan-tudyk-exclusive-video-interview-tucker-dale-vs-evil-beautiful-boy-v-and-pg-porn/"&gt;Alan Tudyk interview (video)&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Okay one more, and then I swear that’s it!  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Miracle Laurie interview:&lt;/b&gt; She’s cool and funny. :)  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.geekchicdaily.com/video/its-miracle-laurie"&gt;Miracle Laurie interview (video)&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Apparently I like interviews. I should post more often so I don’t have to post 20 at once. This is what I do on my day off, I guess. Later. :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://chrisslusser.tumblr.com/post/399012771</link><guid>http://chrisslusser.tumblr.com/post/399012771</guid><pubDate>Fri, 19 Feb 2010 12:39:52 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Random Entertainment Links</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;First of all, a tweet I liked:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; “Conan drops the gloves, skates slowly backwards, raises fists, beckons NBC to come to him. He’s never been cooler than now.”&lt;br/&gt; -from &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/maxhandelman"&gt;maxhandelman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Yes, I retweeted on tumblr. Anyhoo, I hope Conan moves to Fox. I actually have that channel. I don’t have NBC anymore. So, you know, I could watch him again. Yay! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Next random news:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Here is a funny Alan Tudyk DirecTV commercial I saw the other night. It is either Alan Tudyk or his doppelganger. Still funny!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyngKa8SEmg"&gt;DirecTV commercial&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Charisma Carpenter interview:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; A nice interview with Charisma Carpenter. She’s gonna be in a movie with oodles of action stars. How cool is that?!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.411mania.com/movies/columns/127103/411mania-Interviews:-Charisma-Carpenter.htm"&gt;Charisma Carpenter interview&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Felicia Day + books:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; And finally here’s a blog entry from Felicia Day where she talks about books she’s read. If I ever have time to read again, I think I would start with her recommendations. (Also lots of recommendations in the comments. Love it.)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://feliciaday.com/blog/sci-fi"&gt;Sci-Fi Fun&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; That’s it for now. Final &lt;i&gt;Dollhouse&lt;/i&gt; episode is on January 29th I think (and has Felicia Day in it, by the way). So watch it! Or not, whatever, your choice. I’m not bossy. :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://chrisslusser.tumblr.com/post/339393265</link><guid>http://chrisslusser.tumblr.com/post/339393265</guid><pubDate>Sun, 17 Jan 2010 10:51:23 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"The Guild" Season 3 DVDs</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Guild&lt;/i&gt; Season 3 DVD set is now available for pre-order:  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031ESNZG?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=cslusser-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0031ESNZG"&gt;The Guild Season 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Cool beans.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://chrisslusser.tumblr.com/post/313490090</link><guid>http://chrisslusser.tumblr.com/post/313490090</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 Jan 2010 15:18:59 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Joss Whedon blog post</title><description>&lt;p&gt;He’s my favorite writer.
