[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 not sure where I stand on DVD purchases since the writers actually do get a cut of that (Mile High and some European rugby player DVDs are at the top of my To Buy list anyway), but I'll definitely refrain from buying anything over the internets until the strike is resolved.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Somebody from a blog radio station dropped us a line to say that Tim will be chatting about the strike and his shows and the fans this Friday at 7pm PST.
How funny is it that Tim's interview is in the exact same time slot as the blogtalkradio show I host? Ah, well. I can download shows later.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but what are people planning to do about their tv habits when original programming dries up?
I'll probably end up watching more British and Canadian television.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Read. I'm pretty sure I've read less than 1% of the books at my local library, and I have lived here for two and a half years. Dunno what I've been doing with my time, because I sure haven't been watching that much tv. Oh wait. That's right. Internet. Stooopid internet.

Trust my rage
This may be the funniest thing I've seen on the strike yet.
While I know the the corporations own the media and I do think the WGA is the little guy in this fight, I think it's a bit risky/stupid to piss off all these highly creative and very funny writers who suddenly have a lot of time on their hands.
eta: at the very least, it's very entertaining for those of us watching.

Why would the corporations worry Stephanie, it's not like the writers have any way of directly expressing their opinions to people without having to rely on corporate gatekeepers...
Oh wait, there is that internet thing that the strike is about, the writers can use that?
Well, they are just writers, why would anyone want to watch their ramblings as compared to our carefully crafted programming?
Oh wait, that's because our carefully crafted programming is also written by those same writers?
Well, it's not like anyone is paying for their ramblings....

That reminds me - we pay about $80 a month for internet and basic cable, but we really only watch what we Tivo. I would happily jump at the chance to pay a monthly fee and have only the programs I do watch downloaded over the Internet with no commercials.
Someone needs to make that.
