I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Buffy ,'Lessons'


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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Does the FCC give the same weight to on-line generated forms as it does to snail-mailed ones? I think it's safe to say that the majority of people who submitted that form didn't even read it, let alone watch the show in question.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Laga, I doubt it's remit allows it to discount certain complaints. The FCC still hasn't ruled on THE INSIDE (and the PTC recently complained about that, too), however I'd say it's reasonably likely they will fine FOX for it as the FCC are slightly nuts IMHO.

Also, that Drive Emmy thing -- I said I thought it was bizzare they used 'The Starting Line' as the submission, and now I take that back. The 3 minute clip they've submitted is from the original pilot, and that 3 minutes looks amazing.

Edit: the clips online @ [link] (Completely remastered! With the proper actors! Oh my).

Daniel and I watched a few episodes of The Inside last night. I decided that Paul is Whedon. It makes everything funnier.

"Don' be e-scared"

Juliebird, that sounds like the start of a sales pitch. "Then try Slayer Puffs!"

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

My Britishness took a moment to parse that, then.

I finally gave up trying to watch the final two drive episodes on MySpace. I ahemmed. I'm sure it was the fault of my popup blocker, but I don't turn that thing off except for one thing, playing Literati on Yahoo. But, I now have them!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Care to share, Sail? Or anybody? I provide excellent bribe, in the form of chocolate, excessive flattery, beta reading, and vocifierous defense of you and your actions against stoopid people. In writing. With grammar and proper tense agreement. And punctuation, as appropriate.
