Womack ,'The Message'
[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.
You know, Allyson, I was giving you my full attention most of the day. And you see Tim more a lot more often than you see me. Guess I know where I stand. [long-suffering sigh]
...Now I'm glad I stole your notebook! See how you are!
every writer should take a lesson from Dickens.Can't they learn from Stevenson instead? Or someone less mind-numbing?
Of course, I used my last vacation day to spend the day with you.
So. WHATEV.
Dickens was, in many ways, the first celebrity author.Well, I can't really go along with that. For a start, Dickens was after the Romantics.
Most people read Dickens' installments the way people used to watch TV: one episode at a time.
People wrote Dickens' hundreds of letters asking him to spare Little Nell in The Old Curiosity Shop. Crowds greeted each ship to America bringing new installments, often asking if Little Nell still lived. People sobbed openly about her death. So Tim is a lot like Dickens. Also, neither of them ever worked on Buffy.
Hey, Strega! I'm watching Raising Arizona tonight. So you should stop by Movies later.
OK, I have to say, I love reading teachers discuss. It was awesome fun listening in on my Mom and Kat discuss students and books (despite having nothing to add, it's just great to see people just hitting their stride) and it is again here, reading this.
And the parallels would NEVER have occured to me. So anyway, thank you.
I think we're gonna watch more Wonderfalls tonight. Even though we don't have a training room to exploit. Not that we would use one if we had one.
Just as soon as I stop crying over how mean Allyson is.
You want I should call Danny to bring you a Dr. Pepper?
I have a myspace page. It makes me cry. I also have just the one friend, that manwhore Tom.
Allyson, you should post the MySpace (who are you? it's like I don't even know you!) link in Press or one of those threads.
A-HA!
Apparently Tim has only himself to blame for that whole "Minear, who's probably best known for his efforts on Buffy and the cult favorite Firefly..." thing.
Next, I vote Tim randomly starts attaching himself to other past projects. I fondly recall his work on Thirtysomething, Hill Street Blues and Cheers, as well. Yes I do.
