A report I read yesterday quoted Joss as saying he was going a) with a younger (20s) WW, and b) to worry about the script first, and casting second. When asked about casting people he'd worked with, he said it wasn't a party for his friends.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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

Swouncing
Skipping and poking head (hello, new thread! I guess the 100+ new posts in Bureaucracy explain the "tp be named later"?), from my parents' computer, to wish happy Purim to everybody who celebrates it, and a short nicer-than-average Friday to everybody else, on top of the "have a good weekend!", for dessert (if I only could share my mom's cookies with you!).
Running out before shabbat. Post with you later!

Noooooooooooooo! That is just too silly to be real.
I think that any popular dark haired actress's name will be bandied about.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Happy Purim, Nilly!

Hi, Nilly! Happy Purim!
I found the article I was thinking of:
Gellar and former Buffy castmate CHARISMA CARPENTER were among those rumoured to be playing PRINCESS DIANA in a new film version of the comic book superheroine, but director Whedon insists he's looking for a new face.
He says, "Everybody is in agreement that casting is not an issue right now. It's not a vehicle to be built around a particular star.
"We want to write the thing, find the right character and then figure out who should play her. There are various famous people whose names have come up, because that always happens, but you know, we're talking about Wonder Woman here. Those are tough booties to fill.
"I think we will go a little younger than the traditional idea of Wonder Woman and, as for the rumours, it's a movie, not a party for my friends."

Happy Purim Nilly!
I've often seen Easter overlap with Passover, but I don't remember it overlapping with Purim. Of course, Purim is a holiday that I know less well, so it's probably that I was totally ignorant of it. That's what happens when you grow up in an almost total monoculture.

Our wings are not tired.
We want to write the thing, find the right character and then figure out who should play her.
That sounds all sensible and stuff.
I had a Zogby survey this morning. Mostly local Florida politics questions, then there were two tough ones. (wording from memory)
Which state do you feel most closely reflects the American ideal?
Which state would you vote out of the union?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy Purim, Nilly.
I like any holiday that asks you to eat, drink and be merry.

I'm up and not at school. It's sunny but brisk out. I wonder if I can get away with shorts?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy Purim, Nilly!
OK, who has off today (because of the holiday)?
Not me - I gots ta work.
But our biggest client gives everyone off all day. That's Texas for ya'.
