Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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

Tuesday: Horror Writers to Exorcise Evil Spirits at Warner Brothers Lot If at approximately 12:10pm tomorrow, Nick Counter reverts to his true form (a writhing pile of worms), well, he was warned. -JA

We, the horror writers of the WGA, don't necessarily believe that the AMPTP is evil. Rather, we believe they've been invaded by evil spirits whose devilish agenda is the destruction of our Guild. For this reason we have decided to conduct this exorcism for the mutual benefit of this industry. We may be dark souls, but we do believe that good eventually triumphs over evil.

We encourage our brothers and sisters in horror to join our procession by emailing Jace Anderson at creepymofo [at] roadrunner [dot] com or Scott Kosar at scottkosar [at] mac [dot] com. And, of course, we welcome ALL writers to come and support our fight at Warners Gate 4, Tuesday at noon.

ION, even though crappy reviews of my book on Amazon make me feel terrible, I swear I will never do this: [link]

Ugh. Seriously. Just, ugh.

That's how I feel when reading the TWoP strike thread. Okay, that's not completely true. I want to bash their heads in with a brick.

Back from the lines. Today, we were all up on Pico so I got to march with Super Awesome Secret Service Agent Aaron Pierce.

Very cool, Kristen! You're at Fox right? I drive by Sony every morning.


Kristen - Nov 27, 2007 9:45:00 am PST #8489 of 10001

I am! Usually, I'm around back at Nakatomi Plaza but, today, I was at the main gate. I'm told that each studio (and sometimes each gate) has its own vibe but Fox is so close to me that I haven't been tempted to picket line hop.

Plus, I think there were only two of us out there today, representing for K-Ville.

Do people picket line hop? and how does that work? Can you sign in anywhere?


Kristen - Nov 27, 2007 9:53:41 am PST #8491 of 10001

They discourage it. I think because they end up with too many people at a few places. So you're supposed to go through channels if you want to picket elsewhere. I know of one person who was moving around every day, but signing in wherever he went, and he got in trouble with his strike captain.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, I read that and thought, "Man, Carson Daly is a douche."

But I don't feel that way about Ellen Degeneres. Am I just a hypocrite? (It's entirely possible the answer is yes.)
