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

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?

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)?

Not an Un-American, but I think Buffy is more unintelligible because of her way of speaking than her accent, which seems free of regionalism to me. Where is she from?

Art Crawl!!!
Isn't she from NY or NJ originally?

IIRC, canonically Joyce has relatives back in Illinois. But I can't recall any statement that Buffy lived anywhere else but Los Angeles growing up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
She's from NY, I think, and that's what she sounds like to me (she's got the northeastern "ar" pronunciation in "Tara"), but in the early seasons anyway, she used a lot of California/Valley Girl inflections.
