damn you, defamer!

i was minding my own business, just trying to occupy my feverish mind with a quick jaunt through defamer.com, when i come across this item from 'variety':

David O. Russell is tackling television for the first time, teaming with Josh Lieb ("The Simpsons") for an hourlong dramedy set up at FX via Sony Pictures Television.


Pariah partners Gavin Polone and Jamie Tarses will exec produce the untitled project, a sort of "Upstairs, Downstairs" set in a Los Angeles country club. Russell ("Three Kings") is set to direct the pilot; he'll co-write and exec produce with Lieb.

josh lieb and i were in the creative writing program together at the south carolina governor's school for the arts when i was a wee lad of seventeen. so hurray for josh and all, but was that a parade i just saw passing me by?

in other news, heading to virginia, this week for a college friend's wedding, then onto cleveland for a few days of business meetings. oh yes....you heard me right, josh lieb...CLEVELAND! who's jealous now?
