Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

I could see it being the average for working writers. So, if you didn't earn anything as a writer in X year, your $0 isn't counted toward the average.

That's probably where the number comes from.

In bizarre yet positive news, I lost 1.8 pounds today. No seriously. 1.8 pounds. Picketing.

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

Hey that's great.

My box office cashier just pointed out that with TV going into re-runs we'll probably see more people coming out to the movies.

Way to look on the bright side!

Our wings are not tired.

Picketing as a weight loss program. Hmmm, I think it would still be better to settle this quickly by giving the writers a fair deal. The averages don't mean a thing to me. Desiring compensation when your work product is sold isn't a greedy ambition.

I watch both Days and General Hospital on an irregular basis. Days is pure punishment and has been for decades. And yet, if I am near a tv when it is on I can't help myself. GH I enjoy. It is indeed my junkfood tv whenever I get the chance.

Yeah. This is why I'm not on one of those picket lines.

Sounds like picketing will be good for the body as well as the integrity, Kristen. Just remember to hydrate. Or at least coffeerate.

Picketing as a weight loss program

I picketed last week and lost bupkiss. Just got chills from the wind and rain. Sigh. Maybe it's because mine was just an informational picket, not an actual strike.
