My boss has one at the office- because he won't be left alone- 14 years old. Very bossy and stubborn. Also very sweet and made me feel better this morning.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
She told a story about research up at UCSF on pain tolerance. The scientist determined beagles would be perfect for their study, so they paid umptyjillion dollars for special lab animal beagles. The crate arrived, the scientists all looked down into their crate full of beagle puppies and went, "Uh...Can we have a meeting. I don't think I can do a pain tolerance study on beagles and look myself in the mirror." All eight puppies wound up going home with the scientists.
I've heard that story before. In fact, maybe it was JZ who told it.

I grew up with a lhasa apso in the house. She was basically a cat, except for her fondness for dirty underwear, which she would drag down into the living room and leave on the floor for anyone to find.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Note to self: Stick with cats, instead of lhasa apsos, to avoid that embarrassing underwear thing. Beagles may still be ok.

There's a Wonderfalls DVD flyer enclosed in the Buffy S7 boxed set. Made me do the happy dance.

It was good to see that they knew their market. The other side was the Tru Calling S1 DVD ad, with the tagline "SHE'S GONE FROM SLAYING THE UNDEAD TO SAVING THE DEAD." (Complete with asscaps.)
