I've avoided Vampirella so successfully thus far, I'd forgotten it existed until you said that.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

[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, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

How can Brian Bloom not be hot?
Two words: Brown. Contacts.
Also there was some unfortunate hair and an overall frumpy look.

What is even happening?
Was this the most recent Cold Case, Kristen? I have it sitting on my TiVo, and now it seems so much less likely to get watched.

Oh, oh oh! I just realized that the Screenwriting Expo is at the Marriott. Someone needs to report on the smoking situation. We're particularly desperate to know if people can smoke on the balconies.

Yes, it was the most recent Cold Case. In the show's defense, they were trying to make him look like Robin Thomas ~20 years ago. But yeah. Not hot.
I have moved on to catching up on PR and damn you, Laura. You made me feel sorry for Jeffrey.
Also, Strega, can we just look up or do I need to be, like, interrogating people?
Strega - Oct 19, 2006 2:20:07 pm PDT #1502 of 10001
Yay, a spy! I'll have to buy you a meal, because this information will make me a hero to all the smokers on the project.
Interrogations are more fun, but if you see people out there that probably answers the question. Everything I've found just says that whether or not the balconies are smoke-free now is up to the individual hotel manager, so that's the part I'm most interested in getting intel about. I understand they've set up some sort of smoker's haven outside somewhere, but if people are supposed to trek downstairs and go outside at 10 PM, that'll be a pain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How could there be no smoking on balconies?? Aren't they, you know, outside? Sheesh.
(Of course, I recently smoked in a non-smoking hotel room, because the window opened wide enough that I could fit my entire upper body out.)

I once had someone scream at me because I smoking outside in a completely empty area of the sidewalk, nowhere near any doorways, at LAX. And I mean, scream. As though I had shot her instead of just added my tiny exhale to all the pollution the airport was already churning out.
Strega, are all Marriotts smoke free now? At this rate, we're going to run out of hotel chains.
In unrelated news, I ordered food 95 minutes ago and have learned that they lost my order and need to resubmit it now. This makes me sad. Eight long days on the road and I just want pizza and a nap. I don't think this is too much to ask.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
have learned that they lost my order and need to resubmit it now
Did they tell you, or did you call back to find out where it was and learnt the annoying news?
Either way, I wish you food and rest as soon as possible.
Kristen - Oct 19, 2006 3:26:40 pm PDT #1506 of 10001
I called. They went, huh.
They did say they were going to rush the order and they would try to "do something" for me. I'm awaiting their call.
Though I'd rather just get the food. Since, you know, I have NONE in the house.
