Lilty, do animal shaped objects tell you to do things?
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress
[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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Thus far, no.
Unless my actual Cat counts. She isn't actually telling me to pet her out loud, per se, but the sentiment is there.
ETA: Ooh! And yesterday, my friend's boyfriend's dog winked at me. This is it, isn't it? I'm a crazy person.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Me: I was drunk!
E: SO IS SHE!
Hee.

All is well that ends in pizza.
CC'd from my post in Bureaucracy.
So maybe we should just re-purpose Lovesick, My Ass for Wonderfalls DVDs for a while, then fold the thing and kick everyone into Minearverse.
I mean, discussion of the unaired eps is already in LMA, so why not go with it.
Just a suggestion, as it never really got that much traffic after December, and it's a shame to close it under 1000 posts....

Just a note, I'll bet Bureaucracy is the wrong place to post it, as I invariably post in the wrong admin thread.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
No, that's the right one.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I got my Wonderfalls dvds today! There's a chance I am more excited by this than I should be, but considering that the next most exciting thing to happen to me today was having all of the elevators at work operational for the first time in a month, maybe not.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

"There isn't a lot of science fiction on TV right now, and people are trying to capitalize on that."
No shit.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
So, I'm torn between wanting to pace myself with the new 'sodes or to tear them open like a three year old at Christmas.
I ripped 'em open a had a WF blitz. I watched all episodes over the last two evenings after work. I miss it!
And FWIW, I would think that as a "normal" person who didn't obsessively follow writers from show to show (and they tell me there are a lot of those kind of people out there, who knew?), I'd be more inclined to try to check the show out after reading your column.
I don't stalk the writers to each and every show. Well, maybe a little.
But a good writer can make anything interesting.
This is why I stalk. (Wait, not stalk. Follow. Yeah...follow.)
