What is even happening?

Oh man, I so want to attend that and pitch the one Wonderfalls story idea that I've had (while sadly lacking the talent to actually execute it as a fanfic).

Matt, I think you underestimate yourself. Your 5 minute recaps were screamingly funny. I think you can do anything.

My favorite part is: We'll decide by consensus..
Our sweet boy has never been to Bureaucraxy.

Allyson, I wish I could figure out how to type the sound I made when I read this.

Tim, choose the-most-votes-wins method, or dictatorship.

I hope we get a recap of the highlights. I'd love to know that stuff.

I may have to seize the cat.

I took a chunk of my idea for a spec and turned it into a spec for another show. (Because, hi, I'd already written some of it and, damnit, I don't have that many words that I can afford to be wasting them.) Sadly, the bulk of the story was so specific to The Inside and Rebecca that it just wouldn't work anywhere else. Plus there was some crazy assed OoG non-linear storytelling going on, which I don't think fits most other series.

It makes me sad, because The Inside is so good, and OoG is so good, and why isn't there more room for this on television? (I know the answer, but knowing and feeling, not the same.) It is a smart move, Kristen, to reuse/salvage an idea. And a pretty professional one, from what I've seen and read.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.

I do not *need* cookies. But I *love* cookies.

See, now, if I sent you cookies, you would not complain, you would be all, "HOORAY, COOKIES!"

Fear not, the girls in brown and green will be hitting the streets next week with their addictive confections.

Hey! May I remind you that my BF is an actual Jew, and thus a very useful Seder guest. And after 12 years, even I can belt out Dai Aynu with the best of them. So next time you fantasize, Missy, put us in there.

I'm not sure it's even a fantasy without Robin and the WBBF.

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

Tim would be, if he would stop wearing Fall colors and accept that he is, in fact, a Winter.

If I only had a brain...

Now I am all sad.
