LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane is preparing his long-awaited direct-to-DVD movie based on the exploits of his cartoon clan for a Sept. 27 release.
“It’s been an enormous undertaking to juggle this with doing 35 new episodes of the show, but we think it turned out great,” MacFarlane said of the film, his first full-length feature, and the first direct-to-video ever made off a television franchise.
The 83-minute, unrated “Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story” ($29.98) is based on the animated series MacFarlane created for Fox Television in the late 1990s. The irreverent series, aimed at adults rather than kids, went on the air in early 1999 and was canceled in 2003, only to be resurrected last month after an overwhelming demand for the show on DVD.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

I’d like to take a moment on this beautiful Sunday morning to wish my dad a Happy Father’s Day. I love you, Dad.
And a Happy Father’s Day to all you other dads out there, especially my fellow stepdads. I don’t know what it’s like for you guys, but Father’s Day always feels a little weird for me, because it’s the only day in the entire year that I really feel like I’m just the backup goalie.
So, from one stepdad to another, I salute you, my brothers. 🙂

A week ago, while I folded clothes and put laundry away, I realized that most of my T-shirts were pretty much worn out.
So I decided to do a little online shopping at Think Geek.
I picked up a couple of cool shirts, including The Geek Workshirt and The Wargames T-shirt. I got a T-shirt for Ryan that says “Schrödinger’s Cat is dead” on the front, and “Schrödinger’s Cat is alive” on the back, and I picked up this hilarious shirt for myself that says

I decided that I’d wear my hilarious SQL query shirt today, so when I got out of the shower, I grabbed it off the counter, pulled it on over my head . . . and realized that I’d put it on backwards.
0 rows returned, indeed.

I signed, and Anne helped me pack, label, and stamp the remaining fundraiser book orders this weekend.
We just got back from the post office, where we shipped the domestic fundraiser book orders — if you haven’t gotten your book yet, look for it in 3-5 days. I forgot that even though it’s just a book, I have to fill out customs forms and crap, so the international (including Canada) orders will go out tomorrow. Sorry 🙁
We did all the math last night, and the fundraiser completely covered all the office visits and medication for Felix, Sketch, and Ferris, with was just under $500 left over. Anne and I rounded that up to $500, and we are donating it to a no-kill shelter later this week. I don’t know if the shelter wants the attention, so unless they give me permission, I won’t disclose their name.
My deepest, and most sincere thanks to everyone who bought books, and my apologies to the five of you who had to get refunds because we ran out.
