Willow ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
[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.
A little late, but.... Kristen is correct, Jane's recent career path has been Gilmore Girls (1 year); Tru Calling (cancelled before her ep aired); The Inside; and now Jake in Progress (she's writing ep 8). She also has an essay in the new Pride and Prejudice anthology (forget the title at the moment, it was edited by Jennifer Crusie).
And edited the book of essays on Firefly.
So I'm reading Wonerfalls Fic from yuletide. And it's weird because... well... because... I dunno why. It's just weird.
Dear Tim,
In lieu of a pony, you may instead purchase a spa day for me. Of course, I could also use a box of Kleenex to soak up the tears I weep from the stress. Jewelry is also nice. I like silver. I'm a Winter.
With love,
Your golddigging friend 4evah,
Allyson
My entire face has erupted in painful acne. I'm going to have to go to sleep with a cloth soaked in green tea with camomile covering my whole head just to calm it down.
Awww, Allyson, your poor pretty face!
In case you feel like trying out something new today, here's Jilli's acne-battling recipe, which I plan to make for my own erupting face later today.
What's the spiritual heir (or predecessor) of Profit? I got a guy hooked, and I think he's blaming me for the lack of existence of further episodes. He can totally kick my ass, so I'd like to at least be able to offer him methadone.
He's been into the Buffyverse, so I'm thinking I can calm him down with Angel S2. But that mightn't be enough.

I went to Angel too. Damn that Greenie.
The TV show Action was plenty cynical-player oriented. I think that's coming out on DVD in 2006. The old TV series Buffalo Bill was a comedy, but also dark in that way. It's just out on DVD.
It's a show with a pretty stalwart and true protagonist, but the villains of Pretender remind me of Profit in some ways.
Hmm, "This amoral twisty headfuck brought to you by the letter P!"
Having never seen Profit, every time it comes up here, my mind goes to Vengeance Unlimited (unfortunate title). I liked that show at the time, wouldn't mind seeing the full run.
The old TV series Buffalo Bill was a comedy, but also dark in that way. It's just out on DVD.I was going to say Buffalo Bill, but then realized I'd never seen Profit; I've just seen everyone else talk about it. I didn't realize BB was on DVD, now.
Yo, dudes, I went to the Seattle Science Fiction museum, and it is awesome. Tragically, it has no Firefly stuff whatsoever. It has Trek out every available orifice, included some specially created for the occasion.
You know, television and movie props are strangely disappointing up close, for the most part; a face-to-face viewer isn't the intended audience, nor is two feet the intended viewing distance. It has to read, not be. One exception was the hand props for Men In Black, which were exquisite. Now I want me an alien gun.
