Buffistas

I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

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.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I grew to loathe the Callahan stories. Loved Stardance. Found Night of Power deeply disturbing, but I forget why.

Of Brust, I enjoy the hell out of the Taltos and Paarfi novels, but find them too much work to keep the gamesplaying straight. I'm very behind on them. I adored Freedom and Necessity, even though I don't understand anything about Hegel or dialectics (and anyone who feels like explaining it, please feel free). Liked Agyar, thought The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars was brilliant but need to reread it. And I need to find a copy of To Reign in Hell because I only read it the once.

Um.

I hate you all.

Not a fan of Piers Anthony and his Xanth novels?

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

I had an interview today that made me sad. One of the questions was, "Do you know how to use Netscape?"

Um.

What does that MEAN?

So I said, "What do you mean?"

He explained that Netscape is a program that helps you look things up on the internet.

Um.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's okay to cry, Allyson. It's just not okay to cry before you kill the interviewer. It can mess with your vision and has been found to increase the incidence of slip and fall accidents.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So I said, "What do you mean?"

That was not the right answer. The right answer is "Of course. How do you think I run my fandom empire, you wretched dolt?"

I told him I prefer IE. What makes me the most sad is that he asked the question AFTER asking me if I knew anything about updating websites. I said I could code simple things in HTML, but have trouble with tables.

My resume lists my sites.

Oh, speaking of fandom empires, I got an e from Fury with his new office info, and gave him the new Q&A. I googled a bit, and there already is a fandom for Lost.

Then I saw a commercial for it. There's a lot of people running amok in their panties.

Daniel Dae Kim is in it. I did not see him running around in his panties, sadly.

He isn't, by any chance, running around in anyone else's panties?

Dom's, maybe?

I should have put that in the Q&A.

Lost

I know I'm going to sound like a dolt, but who lost what? DDK's panties?
