Rule 5 Saturday - A Little Role Playing with Felicia Day

Rule 5 Saturday, another Ginger, and another alumni of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  Am I in a rut, or what?  But a good rut...

Felicia is one of those fortunate few who turned gaming into a career:

Day is an avid player of a wide variety of video game genres. Much of her work on The Guild web series was based on her personal experience with video games.

 And she's smart too:

She was a National Merit Scholar (1995) and graduated as valedictorian of her class. An accomplished violinist, Day was accepted to the Juilliard School of Music but chose to attend the University of Texas at Austin on a full scholarship in violin performance. She double majored in mathematics and music performance.

A few weeks back, I confused her with Karen Gillian, a former Dr. Who companion.  It's Felicia playing the dead, but still virtual main squeeze of über geek, Fargo on Eureka.

Oh my God, there's something wrong on the interwebs!

An actor in Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog (2008), as well as numerous other film and TV appearances.

She is also a creator, writer and producer and singer of her own fantasy web series "The Guild"








Whatever you do, Felicia, don't fix your nose; I like it the way it is.

Ted has Amanda Peet as Weekend Woman #49 over at A Man, A Dog and A Gun.  As always, thanks to Wombat-Socho for including this (and the others) in Rule 5 Sunday "Train in Vain" at The Other McCain.

Beach Report 5/27/12

Another great morning at the beach.  A bit warmer than yesterday, on it's way up to 90 F this afternoon, but quite pleasant at 9 AM.  We left Georgia behind this morning to tend to some business, and met Joel a little early to get an early start on a trip up the road.

Poor Red; he picked up a fish hook in his lip with some bait yesterday after we left, and got a trip to the vet as payback, but he was looking OK this morning.


Some Daylilies escaped from captivity into the area behind the dunes.

A wild Ginger sighting.  You do occasionally find them in the wild, but usually they hide from the sun due to their sensitive skins and lack of souls.

Come on in, Dad!  The water's fine!  It really is too.  It's warm enough to swim in now, it's about as clear as you're likely to find it here, and the jellyfish (Sea Nettles) have not started yet.

But some people were determined to work up a sweat anyway.

Others were working up a sweat retrieving driftwood for some kind of artsy project.

Fishing out on the end of the jetty.  I don't know if anything was caught (I didn't see anything come up) but it's time for Croakers and Spot to start appearing near the beach.
