I just got spam. In iCal. I haven't had time to figure out how the hell it got there, but it's a bit of a surprise. Its recipient is... my non-gmail address, but it has a google calendar link at the bottom. Hm. The only action on my part was to confirm in ical that my address belonged to me. And then they appeared in the "notifications" pane.
[edit to add: Ah, I see. it's a convenience feature of mac mail and ical. If my email contains an .ical event notification, it will add it without asking me. iCal preferences... "Advanced" preferences... *untick*]
Also: what's up with friends moving away shortly? Was it something I said?
My friend Michael is imminently moving to Alberta; he told me on the weekend (calling from Alberta).

ferdzy and her partner Karl are quite possibly moving to Owen Sound this summer. At least 50% possibility, according to K. Higher chance if they can sell their business.
I think that's quite enough of that. No more moving further away. You're only allowed to move closer. (With the proviso that my parents are welcome to move to Ithaca, whether or not it's any closer to here... (and it even is closer, by 50 miles.)) Got it? Good.

You are so breezy and Western and uninhibited.
Then, shatteringly, came the embarrassment in the hall. I could not
conceivably be scared by you or anybody else!

Pitched to: The BBC.
The Title: Tehran Confidential
The Premise: Sitcom based in an Iranian high-school. In the first episode, two juniors in love, Seyyed and Debbie, battle their parents, teachers, and overly sanctimonious classmates to find time alone together. Then comes the shocker: Debbie is really in love with Hassan, a senior! Seyyed pours his heart out in the finale, and onlooking classmates realize how much they have to learn.
Extra points for westernisms the audience doesn't notice but anyone from Iran would find ludicrous, à la Memoirs of a Gaisha. Super-bonus for the number of Americans who foam at the mouth thinking it's too sympathetic and try to boycott Britian. Triple bonus if the series lasts until Hassan comes out as gay.
