If I only had a brain...

That's fair. Kristen, I think you've done good work, I'm glad you got as far as you did, and I wish you wonderful things at the new year.

If I only had a brain...

In unrelated news: I had a Joss/Tim nightmare last night. I was invited to some sort of party to celebrate a new show, but I got there and nobody knew me. I kept trying to leave, but I'd forgotten my shoes, my needlework (Joss handed out cross-stitch kits; who knew), and then my bicycle. Everybody wondered why I kept coming back to the party.

My subconscious can just SHUT UP NOW.

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 think I was at that party, Betsy.

I had the honor of reading Kristen's script, and yeah, she should by all rights be on staff at Without a Trace or Cold Case.

What sort of cross stitching did Joss give you? Mine was some sort of geometric hanger with lots of satin stitch. Jane Espenson was asking disdainfully if I'd ever done a hanger before.

What is even happening?

Kristen, congratulations on all you've acheived so far. I'm sorry it didn't go any further. Note the pointed choice of pronoun in the previous sentence. t anvil That is to say, note I said it, (as in this particular opportunity) not you. There's no stopping you, girl. t /anvil
