Buffistas

Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Gris, you haven't seen West Wing? The first few seasons are really amazing. I'm definitely curious to see the new show.

I tend to wax rhapsodic about the power of narrative. I consider it a diversionary, but not dishonest, tactic. I'd rather save my fights for policy stuff, with people I know from work and potential work. Other people, it depends on my mood. But I'm way less embarassed about pretty much anything I watch than having read Angels and Demons (It was there. I needed something to read during down time at work.)

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I work for an entertainment company, live in LA and people still think I'm weird for watching television. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I have an opinion about what I watch. I don't know.

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

In my entire book, I don't actually talk about television at all. Oddly, I'm listening to "I Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Melanie Doane. A love song about television.

I'm just now getting into why I loved Buffy so, and what that had in common with my love of fandom.

But since all roads lead back to Minearverse, I remember at that panel where we saw Tim talk about teevee, and the mod asked what he thought about people who had snobby attitudes about television. Like it was beneath them.

Tim said, "I run them down with my Mercedes."

"I run them down with my Mercedes."

This is my goal in life. To have that attitude and means if not the car. And it was hysterical when he said it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

"I run them down with my Yugo."

Just doesn't have the same ... verve.

I have a Chevy that can take Tim's Mercedes in a fight.

Was it made back when cars were still being made out of steel?

There's no way I can write about why I loved Buffy so without being smarmy.

I just really loved my girl.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There's no way I can write about why I loved Buffy so without being smarmy.

I just really loved my girl.

Those two sentences would probably be sufficient.
