Host ,'Why We Fight'
[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 completely spaced on fed exing the bags to Jesse (I'm so sorry) so they're going out first thing in the morning, and I'll have the dollar amount of the donation to the crew fund soon after.
Kristen has been working on getting me the info needed for the donation, so I can get the check out and processed ASAP.
No prob -- I was just wondering if they had tried to deliver on Wednesday when no one was here!

I haven't heard anything yet. I'll let you know as soon as I do.
I was talking to my cousin on Thanksgiving and he kinda new about the strike, but only because TDS was off the air. Once I gave a quick outline about why the writers were striking (and explained residuals) he said he understood the strike.
I overheard the people sitting at the table next to us at Disneyland last week discussing the strike and they were from Wisconsin *shrug* (FTR they all sided with the writers)
The strike dominated the conversation at Thanksgiving dinner in Central Washington.
“Variety and The Reporter stink. We get our news from Nikki Finke,” Mr. Wrubel chanted
Heh.
She was fired from The Post in 2002 after writing negative articles about Disney; she sued the newspaper’s parent News Corporation and settled for an undisclosed amount.
Good on her.
"Reasonableness Ruled the Day":
"It was very productive, very level-headed, and it seemed as though the producers came ready to bargain," an insider told me tonight. "Reasonableness ruled the day."
In fact, the AMPTP reps for the studios and networks showed up to the negotiating session with what was described to me as "a very comprehensive proposal which laid out to all the entire roadmap to the deal. Over the course of the session, the producers addressed every single issue, and the writers listened and kept getting up to caucus."
It looks like the talks will continue over the week. This is good!
(Although, who the hell says things like "Reasonableness ruled the day"??)
(Although, who the hell says things like "Reasonableness ruled the day"??)Someone with out a writer to come up with something better perhaps? Hah!
Well, one assumes her source is a writer.
