Talked with Michael S. while he drove home and started dishes. Slept for like 5 minutes. The drug to help me pee is said to make you dizzy when you stand up too fast and boy does it ever! Speaking of that, I've had no pain in my peen for like 3 days and no signs whatsoever of the kidney stone. I have no clue what's going on there, but I'm not complaining. Also, I'm not as gassy today, and my hemmorhoids are noticeably improved - I hope it lasts.

Just read some TORCHWOOD news! They're casting the new characters for the 10 episode series. Michael Ausiello had this to say:

"I’ve gathered on the new season (airing on my new favorite cable network, Starz), the show is out to cast a new series regular — Rex Matheson, a wickedly funny (operative word: wicked) CIA agent born to make waves. Almost as key to the new season are recurring characters Esther Katusi, a CIA grunt in her early 20s who learns what she’s really made of only when she’s forced to, and Oswald Jones, a convicted murderer and pedophile who will be as shocked as anyone to learn how easily infamy and fame can be exchanged for one another."

TV Guide seems to make clear that the pedophile is the villain of the piece:

"And Starz's new season of Torchwood is shaping up with the search for one series regular and two supporting roles. Rex Matheson is a white, twenty-something CIA agent who sounds sort of like FX's animated Archer spy: a fearless, cocky thrill seeker. Recurring characters include Esther Katusi, a newbie Watch Analyst in the CIA who is deeply (and secretly) in love with Rex. And Oswald Jones is the dangerous psychotic villain. He's a forty-something murderer and pedophile who gets sprung from the slammer into the spotlight. Rex — catch this sicko!"

John Barrowman has been quoted as saying the series will begin filming in January and will air sometime next year. ;-0) Squee!

There's been more casting news for the fast-tracked upcoming X-Men prequel "X-Men: First Class", which sounds like a possible reboot, but still may be an in-continuity prequel to the previous X-Men trilogy, and sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Filming on Wolverine 2 is rumored to begin in January 2011. And there is also work on a Deadpool movie starring Ryan Reynolds, who played the character in the first Wolverine movie - but it's been said that even with the same actor in the role, the movie might be in a separate continuity - which I think is kind of sad. There are ways of making that movie in-continuity, without keeping the changes to the character in that film. There's also early talk of an 'X-Men 4' which is the one I'd really love to see, but I'm glad we're getting movies at all.
