Do people picket line hop? and how does that work? Can you sign in anywhere?
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

[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.

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.)

AUGH. From the article:
The Writers Guild is seeking more money for material distributed over the Internet and cell phones.
I believe they are seeking ANY money. But I suppose ANY money is more than zero, and thus their statement is technically accurate.

I read that and thought, "Carson Daly is still on the air?"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I get the impression that Carson Daly would still be a douche whether or not there were a writers' strike.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Probably true, but I wonder if he's actually the person who calls the shots regarding his eponymous show? I have no doubt that the buck stops with Letterman and Leno, but I'm not entirely convinced Carson is doing anything more than filling out his contractual host obligations as some behind-the-scenes producer like Lou Perlman yells "Dance, monkey, dance!"

What's Ellen's excuse? I hadn't heard she was back on.
