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.

Unfortunately it appears if you mention anything about Joss (eg, he farted) it ends up all over the internet is about 4.2 seconds.

Oh, God. Now buffy.nu's gonna do a special report on Joss farting.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Hopefully there won't be pictures, or any other form of multimedia, involved.

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

I just forwarded Tim's note to all my Firefly converts. I suspect it will pique their interest.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Between this:

But seriously: if Serenity gets a sequel, please work on it. I'll bribe people. With presents and mini golf balls.

and this:

On the plus side, no meetings scheduled tomorrow, so I plan to sit online, drink coffee and post here. Whilst getting paid bucket loads. I have a hard life.

I think I seriously need to get to know Kevin. I would change it to "when Serenity gets a sequel," but who's quibbling.

Hi Kevin!

What is even happening?

Tim, we need a new roof, and would really love central air. The kids have allergies, you know. You'll take care of it, yes?

I can't even.

Won't the insurance on Scott cover all that? Oh wait, can you get insured for a fictional horrible death? Lloyd's of London, maybe?

I need Tim to grade this stack of papers.

What?

Give them all As, Kristin. What are they doing to do, fire you?

The evil is this way?

Wait. So if you need Tim to do something, you just have to post it here.

Fine. Tim, send me all your money.

Do I have to send you a dollar or something now, to put you on retainer?

This would be wise, Topic!Cindy. Of course, you should send me all your money, anyway. By the by, recently it was Narrator!Niece’s older brother’s graduation from junior high. His aunts (including me) got him an iPod and some accessories. Narrator!Niece watches him open the gifts and then reminds me that HER birthday will be soon and I should get her a present -- high heel shoes. I told her no, since she will still only be 6 on her birthday and those are not appropriate for her age. She was unhappy that her plan to acquire such shoes was thwarted. (Her mom already said no; I was her backup plan.) She is considering alternative items.

Would her mom allow her to have costume shoes? Sometimes, in the costume section of Toys R Us, and the like, you can get high heel "dress-up" costume-y shoes that aren't actually high:

If she would be satisfied by these (and I realize there is a good chance she would not *g*), perhaps you could represent her, and cut a deal with her mom, that they'll only be worn when playing dress-up. Goodness, you are an auntie, not a mom.

My little Princess is currently FURIOUS with me, because I've kept her home from school for the second day, running. Apparently, I am *UNFAIR* in holding the conviction that fever = no school. Her younger brother is much more reasonable. Her older brother is glad to be away from the two of them, either way.
