It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Compassionately intolerant

There is a cute interview with Tina Majorino in the Washington Post's freebie supplement this morning. She talks about how her personal style is very different from Mac's ('Mac has never worn a dress!") but that she has 5 Mac(intosh)s at home. She's into photography and surfs. At 21, she just bought her first home. You go gurrl!

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

It's just "cindy."

Really? I tried that, both capitalized and not. Huh. Will try again, now that I'm at a different computer.

ETA: All right. now it works. Just to make me look crazy, I'm sure.

I used to just be "Cindy" here, until I went through an I-hate-the-internet phase, complete with acting-up and name disassociation.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Just to make me look crazy, I'm sure.

The site is out to get you! That was supposed to be easy, I think. You mentioned marketing, so you wouldn't want the answer to be "Madison Sinclair" because that's not as easily Google-able to someone who's new to the show.

The other puzzles are more fun and difficult, though.

3x01 cold open or as they call it "director's cut".

tiggy, thank you for that. I could never watch the cold opens when they were on the UPN site, but they work on the CW site.

I'm wondering, though...do you think that's the very opening scene , because...* I thought the VM one was a little...boring. The Gilmore Girls one (and I've never watched GG) drew me right into the story, but the VM one fell sort of flat for me. *

Oh well, at least Piz is kinda pretty. Although I have the urge to push his hair out of his face. /mother.

it seems as though we missed a few things, but the cold open's on the UPN site weren't always the first few minutes either.

it didn't grab me either and i really hope that isn't an indication because i really want this show to succeed. KB and RT have talked up Piz so much that i was really aggravated at what we were shown. i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he seemed like every other boy i've seen in my life. nothing special and nothing that i would see Veronica being impressed by. *shrug*

I've read that the VM premiere will become available tonight, at 9:00pm. Now, I can't remember where I read that, or if the time zone was specified.

Once available, you should be able to find it at tv.msn.com/tv/tvbuzz.

I just watched the Everybody Hates Chris premiere. It was adorable, but I wish I hadn't watched it, as I know dh will want to wait 'til October 1, and I have a low-tolerance for rewatching sitcoms ( The Office (US) is the exception to that rule, and that's probably because of the serialized nature of some of the plot lines).

I'm definitely watching the VM premiere as soon as I'm able to find the time, though. We're all agreed we'll white font any discussion of it, yes?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Are Michael Cera and what's-her-name who played Maebe definitely going to be in this season? Would that qualify as a spoiler?
