When I decided on the whim to do this a few days ago… It was more a test for my own ability.

I really never considered myself a fund raiser. Well… okay.. I’m a good auctioneer.

but promoting for sponsorship.. never crossed my mind.

Later tonight I’m going to post about why I chose Planned Parent Hood (which unto itself might seem easy to guess, but as for why not something else… more difficult)

I’ve also now picked up sponsorship in both of the other bloggers I’ve been promoting. And rhiannonstone has broken $500. shadesong is just shy of $3,000 (by about $240)… So definitely check them out.

You can still sponsor me throughout the blogathon at:

Registration required
You can sponsor by the hour or a simple monetary donation.
Thanks to my sponsors so far. We’ve raised $366.77 for Planned Parenthood

I also recommend he following blogathon bloggers:
shadesong* is raising money for the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center
rhiannonstone* is raising money for San Francisco Sex Information

*I am a sponsor of this Blog for Blogathon

Regular readers are used to this. I occasionally post ‘choice finds’ from the world of YouTube.

First off is the Amazing Donald O’Connor and Gene Kelly in the classic Singing In The Rain performing:
Moses Supposes

After talking with shimmeringjemmy she’s agreed to let me make an offer.

shimmeringjemmy has made cards (as in gift cards that you send to someone) of some of her art.

If you sponsor me for Blogathon for an amount of $5 or more, we will send you your choice of one of the following pieces of her art on a card.

The cards are 4.25″x5.5″, blank inside, printed on sturdy satin-finish card stock. they come with a mailing envelope.

If you sponsor over $5 you can email me at:
<lordandrei {at} livejournal {dot} com>

Send your choice (or better yet send your choice as the three listed by preference) as well as your mailing address.

If you’ve already sponsored over $5 you can email me.

Limited to availability while supplies last. One per sponsor.

I looked at the blank page and then promptly got pulled into a conversation with someone that I really needed to be talking to. I had some business to iron out.

So… Still working on something of value. Sadly.. even though I am in this for the long run.. There is life. There is baby changing, shimmeringjemmy relieving, dinner prep… you know.. that whole life thing.

And I do choose to live on occasion 😉

More Whedonesque info from Comic-con

From Joss:

Is up for Big Damned Sequel. They made the Special Edition because people keep buying the DVDs.

Season 8 – When and if is Oz going to come back? Can’t say when, but it’s not a question of “if.” Will happen

90 minute Ripper for BBC. Everybody in the same frame of mind that it should happen and will happen soon. Been talking with Tony Head.

Joss is getting sick and tired of not entertaining us enough, so he wants to do things, like Ripper, that can be done quickly. Lots of creepy things in the back of his brain that he needs to get out.

Franchising is starting to interfere with storytelling. Should be earned, never sought. Universe happens so fast, builds off of the original idea.

Has he ever been approached to do Heroes? It’s something he wants to do, but not something he has time to do. The problem is he can’t do just a little bit of anything. He has so many things that he needs to say next year, that he just can’t risk the time.

Asked to do Numfar’s Dance of Shame. He loves us, but he’s not going to dance. Audience claps rythmically. No, not going to dance for us, it makes him feel like a monkey.

How does he focus? Some days it’s harder than others. He’s also the father of two children now, and unlike every other child he’s ever met, they’re awesome. Wonder Woman was catyclisman. Doesn’t have ADD or Narcolepsy. Has twelve clipboards on his walls with everything he wants to do. Have to keep deadlines and priorities, but follow the muse, and work on the project that’s calling you right then.

Is working on a short ballet starring Summer Glau. Called “The Serving Girl.” Writing music.

Is doing more with Fray. Not sure he was supposed to say that, but “yes.”
