hahahaa! love it! :) I have been a good little citizen and applied for a postal vote. Rather than listening to my fave state election academic - Nick Economou - doing the call on Triple R, I'll be kayaking around new zealand and camping under the stars.

t reads article Ooh! Failed to register to vote! The guy who just got elected as governor of MA (the state where many Somervillains live) had a small bit of mud thrown at him early in his campaign when it was discovered he was still registered to vote in Utah, but alas that didn't count against him enough in the minds of the voters who predictably voted for him because gosh, he's "against taxes" which somehow never translates in their minds to "minimalize or eliminate state services such as vaccination, road repair, public safety, bilingual education, et cetera." t /bitter bitter liberal who is registered and votes

I don't know why I'm excited- I have several bits of fic that are going to be throughly Jossed. Are Jossed. Whatever.

This brings up an interesting question - what tense are you supposed to use in this case? There seems to be some realativity problems involved here.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Yeah- I have been Jossed to a reader who's seen season 7, but not to myself, because I haven't. So am I, or am I not, Jossed? It's a paradox- has things in common with Schrodinger's Cat.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

You are Jossed, you just don't know it yet. And you should go ahead anyway, because I for one like AUs.

I don't plan on letting a little unknown Jossing stop me- I'm having too much fun.

I think the correct usage is "will have been Jossed." Although I can't remember what tense that is--future perfect?

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Yeah. Future perfect passive.

The future, when I see season 7, will be perfect, and I can't do anything about it, so I'm passively waiting for Sky One to show it. Right.

If I only had a brain...

A poster on another list just complained that she, as a Briton, finds Buffy unintelligible and wonders if she has a regional accent.

I said, nope, straight American, and most American TV actors do not use any regional accents.

Do you unAmericans think Buffy has a different accent than the rest of the cast (excluding English and faux-English characters)?
