Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

[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.

This is a book you can give to your loved ones to explain, "This is why I love the people in the box on my desk."

I need to give this book to people in order to explain to them how come I'm so excited and happy regarding this book. By this person in the box on my desk.

it's fast. It's unexpected; characters did things that made me say, "huh. that's weird as shit, but I see where it might make sense to them." The characters are flawed and a little bit odd and broken, and fundamentally human. Granted pilots are all set up and there are several characters, but at the end, the last shot, I kept thinking, "Well, what happens next?" and that's a good sign for me.

Kat totally sold me on "Drive" with this, for the record.

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

Well, plus, there's an entire essay about you!

Hi, Nilly!

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

Well. That was odd.

What is even happening?

It was odd, Allyson. They'll likely end up more pissy that you were telling the truth, and that your book has nothing to do with Spike. They're probably hoping for 'shipper war chapters or something. It's so far apart -- so above that. Thank goodness.

Me too, Nilly.

Kat, the older I get (or maybe just the more experience I have with shows that make me think) I find myself more drawn to flawed, odd, and broken, and fundamentally human characters. Thank you.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah. Very, very odd. People are odd.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I saw the promo Jen mentioned, for TV's hit, Drive, during 24, last night. I couldn't pay attention to its substance, because I was so happy to see it being promoted during the 24 season premiere.

I thought they were strange.

Art Crawl!!!

I saw it too -- I would have mentioned that but it had already been posted.

I was a little disappointed that they only ran it during the 1st hour. I hope we get to see another tonight.

hip deep in pie

Just think of it as material for the book tour, Allyson.

If I only had a brain...

Allyson, can you give us a link for preorder? I can't find it on Amazon.
