Kevin Smith couldn't have scripted this one better: a woman in Pennsylvania has accepted a marriage proposal from her comic-shop owner boyfriend which he had placed in next month's issue of Wonder Woman.

(By the way, this is the first and, hopefully, only time I will ever link to the New York Post.)

This one is going to piss off a whole bunch of my friends. Word on the street is that Fox's Futurama will not be returning next season.

On some level, I'm surprised the show made as long as it did. Fox gave it virtually no support from day one, and it was often pre-empted by football (not the games themselves, mind you, just post-game analysis) or, even more frequently, for no apparent reason. Folks like myself who were interested in the show were hard-pressed to follow it, much less develop a real taste for it.

Coming as this does on the heels of The Tick's cancellation, Fox seems bound and determined to clear its boards of anything that smacks of the fantastic and funny. If it weren't for Simpsons, Malcolm in the Middle and Bernie Mac, I could easily live without the entire network.

No Into the Woods for me. It's a little sad, but the turnout at auditions was massive and formidable, so I expect it'll be a wonderful show, even without my presence. And I have to give major kudos to the production staff for setting up one of the most enjoyable auditions I've ever been through. Anytime you can walk away from one of these sessions with a smile on your face, somebody's doing something right.

I've got this big, major piece of news to share, but I'm awaiting confirmation before I spill the beans. It's not a job, but if all goes well I might not have to worry about work or money for a long time.

No, it's not a mob hit. Those days are long behind me.
