Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

No, I meant talking about it too, Erika! For some authors and other artists, particularly of the bohemian equation [edit: bohemian equation? I mean "persuasion" obv.], talking about how broke you are and how scandalously little you make from your art is part of the persona. (Which makes it a bit awkward when they actually start making money!)

It seems like even with them, though, the line is "I'm so broke that they turned off my heat" or "I'm so broke that I'm living on ramen." Admitting to debt means admitting to buying things, which is pretty close to admitting to materialism, which is a rather unBohemian quality.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

(Which makes it a bit awkward when they actually start making money!)

FWIW, that's a stigma I'm willing to live with.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Aussies ... obsessively fixate on your tv guide. Firefly should be starting on Channel 9 real soon! t /Eternal Optimist

Seriously, I just noticed 9 start screening Birds of Prey on Wednesday at 11:30PM, so I'm thinking Firefly won't be far behind -- they'll probably screen it after they run out of BoP eps. :)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

they'll probably screen it after they run out of BoP eps. :)

Which means ... don't blink.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

my thoughts exactly ... though I just realised there were more episodes than I thought. According to Imdb they made 13 eps before the cancellation but I thought it was only 5 or 6.

Oh and if we needed any more proof of how fucked channel 7 has become; they throw Miracles on at 10:30PM and The Chronicle on at 11:30PM but they've brought back repeats of Tour of Duty at 9:30PM. Fuck knows what's up with that shit! *sigh*

Firefly should be starting on Channel 9 real soon!

Yeah, I think I'm firmly in the 'I'll believe that when I see it' camp. But one can hope.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

13 sounds about right.

Timelies, Un-Americans!

Shout out to Angus: You were in my dream this morning! We were neighbors, and I was waiting for you to return from a trip. As soon as I heard your dance music, I bopped over to your place, and we sat around bullshitting. It was such a pleasant dream. Thanks for being there.

Hi kate! Glad to be of service, even unknowingly. One of these days we'll sit around bullshitting for real!
