Book: He could hurry... a little.

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Well, don't take notes.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Good luck with the strike, all you writer people!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ha. Clever of you to schedule your civic duty time off work with your social justice time off work.
Anyway, hope the strike works out for you.
Looking forward to the show, down the road. Can't wait to see your take on not-anti-Christian. The show concept seems right up my alley.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Actually, "Miracle Man" is pro-Christian, which is what makes it so subersive.
I too am baffled by the squick. One could make the same remark about the Simpsons.

Do you get strike pay while on jury duty?

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
Stop giving me squicks.

That's multi-tasking.

Whedonesque took up a collection to send pizzas to the strike line at Universal. Adorkable!
Now I wanna make cookies.

I'm on strike!
In Israel, high school teachers as well as senior staff at universities are currently on strike. The first strike is going on for a month now. The second - for two weeks, and almost nobody even pays attention to it, because of the first one.
[Edit: I'm not on strike, as I'm neither a high school teacher or a university senior staff. However, I get to experience both strikes, because a science education project we're trying to build for high schools is all stuck, on the one hand, and the lecturer of the class I TA doesn't teach so I try to sort of manage to get the students the material anyway, on the other.]
The WGA strike seems to interest everybody here almost as much (or even a bit more), though, despite the whole ocean apart.
