Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Trudy, Lust of My Life, eschew the reality shows.

Always Anti-fascist!

Thanks, babe. "Death is my gift," I think.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Just make your resume as long as possible, and call it a vita.

Heh.

aurelia, apply! You'd be perfect for that job.

Thanks for the encouragement, ChiKat. I may need more if I follow thru on this.

And did anyone post that Wendy Wasserstein died?

I caught that earlier today and didn't think to post. I hadn't even heard that she was sick.

Why are Buffistas not on Surface like white on rice?

I've been watching. Well, I haven't watched tonight yet... but I will. Can't help you on Species, but I'm still on the WW wagon.

All the greater beings of the Celtic tradition, bear witness to the fact that it took me a while to hook "WW" up with The West Wing, and cut me some measure of slack.

This is my prayer.

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

And did anyone post that Wendy Wasserstein died?

We were talking about it in Bitches. I first encountered Meryl Streep, Swoozie Kurtz and Jill Eikenberry in the '78 PBS productin of Uncommon Women and Others.

Which, apparently, most women know because of the line about the tasting of the body fluid thingie.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Mmmmm, Fury gives good 24.

Perfect, Matt. Thank you.

You're welcome, Allyson. Hope your resume knocks their socks off!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I tried to have a conversation after watching GA last night, but it didn't work out -- I was too sad. Bah.

OK, I'm going to bed at a semi-reasonable hour, and waking up ditto. Being a student is one, thing, but last night was ridiculous -- I set my alarm for 10, because I was afraid I would sleep later than that, due to staying up too late.

One Hot Burrito!

I agree. Fury gives good 24. Did anyone notice a slightly gratuitous use of Walt's full name? Every chance, someone would say Walt Cummings.

Instead of "get him out of here" it was "get walt cummings out of here" or "What do you want Walk Cummings?" Would Fury be that dirty minded?

Also, someone interview the man somewhere. I want hear what he has to say about writing for 24.
