count me as one of the weird ones who LOVED Zodiac. it was slow, but it also kept me on the edge of my seat.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

[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 just saw the General Lee!
Polgara and I were at Mel's, when someone drove by in a General Lee. As we were driving back to my house, I spotted it parked at the Coffee Bean. I made Polgara pull in and take a photo. It went something like this:
Me: PULL INTO THE COFFEE BEAN!
Polgara: Wha?
Me: It's the General Lee! You can take a picture!
Polgara: We don't have to pull in. I can get a photo from here.
Me: Pull in anyway. It's clearly a SIGN that I should have a latte.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
That's disappointing about The Black Dahlia because the book is really excellent.

Dare We Hope a Deal Has Been Struck?
As the WGA strike begins its 4th week, I've been told positive news about today's resumption of contract talks between the writers and the producers. So positive, in fact, that I'm almost fearful to post it. But here goes: a very reliable source tells me that there appears to be a deal seemingly in place between both sides.
"It's already done, basically," the insider describes. That's because of the weeks worth of groundwork by the Hollywood agents working the writers guild leadership on one side, and the studio and network moguls on the other. I was told not to expect an agreement this week. But my source thought it was possible that the strike could be settled before Christmas.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I just heard that a national poll has 63% of the US on WGA's side.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The 63% isn't even the best part of that poll -- Only 8% support the producers! The rest are unsure. Another poll gives the writers 69% and the producers 4% [link]

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Hmmm. The news about the deal is cause for hope. And Nikki Fink's been basically right about everything since this whole thing started.
Fingers crossed!
