Vanessa elopes, Paramount surrenders, Leanna's dream shot

I never saw it coming, but Petrick and Vanessa are in Las Vegas. They got married last night at the Luxor, the one shaped like a pyramid. Petrick was dressed as Marc Anthony and Vanessa as Cleopatra. I don't know when or if they're coming back. The only phone call described "striking it rich" and I don't know if that means in love or in the Casinos.

Paramount called and said they were turning over Star Trek to ADB since we have done a better and more consistent job of it than they have. I'm announcing a new series for this fall, STAR TREK: PRIME DIRECTIVE in which a prime team will tour the Federation in a small ship (captained by grumpy retired star fleet commander R Lee Emry) solving problems. Being a prime team capable of anything, we can rip off anybody. I'm already reviewing leftover scripts from JUSTICE for the trial episode, from UNIT for the commando raid episode, from NCIS for the crime scene episode, STANDOFF for the hostage rescue episode, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA for the space combat episode, JERICHO for the planet after a natural disaster episode, and SURVIVOR for the lost on some crappy planet episode. Like Law & Order, I plan to change one or two of the seven principle cast members each season, starting with the actors who ask for raises. In fall 2008 we will launch the second series, STAR TREK: KLINGONS which will explore how the Empire really does things. We will also have a series of four-hour mini-series events (two or three a year) titled STAR TREK: EVIL EMPIRE which will be set in the mirror universe. Actors are already signing up since playing a bad guy is more fun than playing a hero.

Leanna has packed up and left for Los Angeles. She was offered her dream shot on TOP DESIGN and says she can do better than those idiots on the show. I just hope the judges like purple since everything Leanna does it purple. Just look at the back covers of the last ten products. Six of them are purple.

Mike Filsinger is changing the SFB mauler rules while Chuck Strong is changing the F&E mauler rules. I wonder if the new ones they do will match any better than the current versions of the same rule in the two different games.
