Stuff
First off, a SoCal pal of mine, Suzanne Lazear, had her launch party for Innocent Darkness at Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena last weekend. Wish I could have been there because, besides the obvious, there were cupcakes:
Congratulations, Suzanne.

From Inside TV:
Captain Jack is coming to The CW!
John Barrowman is joining the network’s new fall action-drama Arrow.
The Doctor Who and Torchwood star has signed for a recurring role in Arrow’s debut season. Producers are not saying much about his character, only revealing that he will play a “well-dressed man” who is “as mysterious as he is wealthy … he is an acquaintance of the Queen family and a prominent figure in Starling City.”
Hmmm … one suspects the character is from the Green Arrow comic mythology. Philanthropist Stanley Dover Sr., perhaps? Unless they’re doing a new twist on Brick or the Green Lantern…
I love this guy--I might just have to watch Arrow though to my mind, Justin Hartley IS the Green Arrow.
