[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.

I'm already a member Kevin, but thank you.

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

Wow, Allyson, that's awesome about your book!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Fox has another “Drive”-related promotion set up this week, but since reports on the last one were so dismal, we’re gonna pass on touting this one. But Nathan Fillion's being dangled as a carrot-on-a-stick for this one, as well, albeit sans squeegee.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

What they should do for a promo is pay for one of those crazy high speed race driving school thingers where we can race the cast members. Hee.

They should organise one of those Xbox Live play-a-celeb event things. Test Drive Unlimited is the bees knees.

So we were over at my mom's for Easter, and my brother asked me something about "TV's hit Drive." And I started to answer, then said, "Wait, why are you calling it that?"

"Because that's what you keep calling it."

"...Oh."

But still, I've only actually seen him one other time so far this year, so clearly it's an infectious phrase. Is it too late to change the title?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Mr. Jane announced the premiere of tv's hit Drive last night at the bar. Then he did Minear trivia for free shots.

Just saw the post in press: Holy crap and congrats, Allyson!!! There were some heavy-hitting writers mentioned alongside you, I'll tell you what!

I love how Strega's brother and Daisy's dh are drinking the Kool-Aid. I've had too much, myself. I saw a news broadcast of that gasoline give-away, last week. I could have sworn the anchor introducing the segment referred to the show as FOX's new hit, Drive, but when I went back, realized he just said, "show."

Is it too late to change the title?

Once Drive starts up, we'll probably turn over this thread pretty quickly, even though we're only just over the half, right now. We can do a "TV's hit Drive" sort of thing for Minearverse 6. I proposed "Now Watch this Drive" for Minearverse 5, but it was deemed too something. That will always be my title platonicus for Minearverse 5, no matter what we called it.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

We've seen nearly a 4 fold increase of traffic to DF over the last week. It's ramping up day by day (it's more popular than the Serenity site at the minute). So that fills me with a little glee. The original target was to hit 100,000 unique visitors by air date, and it looks like we'll exceed it slightly -- I figure it's not bad for a show which ain't aired yet.

There's a bit more buzz on the interwebs today, too, and the schedule looks almost entirely clear (aside from the dancing with monkies show and Housewives on Monday).
