Of course, I used my last vacation day to spend the day with you.
So. WHATEV.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?
Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax
[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.

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

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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
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.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
From that link:
A surprising face in the cast was Lynskey, who plays a mother who's brings her kids along on the race (in a minivan, no less). She currently plays Rose on Two and a Half Men, but she's leaving that show for the meatier role in Drive. The second surprise? Her New Zealand accent!
Uh, seriously?!
