Dear Internets,

One of my devil children from last year is retaking my class. I'm taking this as a sign from above that it is not a good time to quit my main job and pursue a career in teaching. Thoughts?

Also, I had a dream last night that Harry Hamlin was chasing me. That's scary, right? Achilles did not think it was a particularly scary dream. But Harry Hamlin tried to kill Veronica Mars*!

Love always,
Jane

*Ultimately, it was the CW that killed Veronica Mars. Jerks.

If I had a nickel for every time they said they'd wrap the storyline up in a movie

Dear Internets,

Is it possible that I am some sort of angel of death for quality television programming? I begin watching a show from the first episode (I think that's the key) and fall in love with its characters and quirky originality. Critics rave about the show, I set my DVR, choruses of angels and bluebirds sing.

Then the network brutally axes the show mid-storyline, offering vague promises of "a movie or comic book that will tie things up," and I never hear anything again.

RIP Pushing Daisies. (And Veronica Mars. And My So-Called Life. Etc.)

Love,
Jane

Loose ends

Dear Rob Thomas,

Did you know that your series finale for Veronica Mars was number two on The Onion's list of unanswered TV questions? Which leads me to my second question: still no plans for a Veronica Mars movie?

Yours (admittedly somewhat pathetically),
Jane
