If I only had a brain...

Speak to me of DGA fines, Allyson?

Sometimes, I am dramatically over-wordy.

Not one tiny bit. It was fascinating.

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

The director hired for the episode has to receive the script in a reasonable amount of time before shooting is scheduled so s/he can prep for it. I don't know exactly what the set amount of time is, but for everyday that the script is late, the Director's Guild fines the production.

Not one tiny bit. It was fascinating.

Maybe I can TA. I already made handouts just in case!

Signed,

Was worse than this in college, and twice as annoying.

Damn, I wish technical writers had a union.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Damn, I wish technical writers had a union.

I know. All my union does is charge me money to annoy me.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

UK description of Wonderfalls I've just read:

"Bizarre 'dramedy'."

Tim, you've invented a genre!

"Don' be e-scared"

"Dramedy" is as old at the hills. Or at least as old as "Molly Dodd." And since we were more heavy on the comedy than the drama, I'd rather we were called a "Comma." Oh. Hmmm.

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

Unfortunately, it was short enough that comma may be apt. No typos though.

I've got the word 'dromedary' running through my head now. Maybe a show about camels is just what tv needs.

I may have to seize the cat.

I'd watch camels kick and spit upon cruel network execs.
