Sean K: Howdy Kids! Skipping ahead from about four days worth of posts to say that PETER JACKSON IS JUST DOWN THE BLOCK FROM ME!

Not that I can see him, or talk to him.

Or get out of my house.

Hair, dresses, points. In Natter.

ita:

Catherine Zeta Jones deserves an award for wearing a colour not champagne. I'm going through the yahoo pictures, and it photographs terribly.

kat:

Except her award is revoked for the bad hair.

ita:

Her award is only contingent on the dress. I mean, if we're to start docking points you have to go with her husband first.

ita, in Buffista technology. It made me laugh because I have no idea what it means.

I think Shrift's PDFs are TIFFs in a PDF wrapper, which means Google will have no more luck than she will -- it'd be like trying to text index a GIF.

Emily:

I'm thinking contract marriages are the way to go, myself. Like, sign up for one or two years and reevaluate at the end of that time.

ita:

sign up for one or two years and reevaluate at the end of that time.

Renegotiation is key.

And there could be signing bonuses, and vesting and stuff.

Ken Buddha:

But unless there's a cap George Steinbrenner will buy all the good marriages.

Billytea talking about odd use of a pronoun as a name in Natter:

"Ok, we just fill out this form and we're done. First name?"

"'I'."

"We need the full name, I'm afraid."

"That is my full name."

"...Seriously? Just 'I'? Damn, that must've been tough when you were growing up. I mean, I had enough trouble just being called Winston. ...Anyway. Middle name?"

"Claudius."

Childhood punishments in Bitches, and why Jilli is Jilli:

Jillie: When I was about 11, I did something so horrible (and now, of course, can't remember what it was) that my mom confiscated every single book in my room and told me that until I finished reading Gone with the Wind, I wasn't getting any of my books back. I was a fantasy/horror genre snob; and hated every minute of it.

connie: did you finish GWTW, Jilli?

Aimee: 10 kittens says she finished it AND liked it.

Jilli: Finished it, and did a book report for English class on it that went along the lines of "Hated the book. Scarlett is whiny, Melanie is whiny, and the story would have been much better if Ashley returned from the war as a zombie."

Kristen displays her (ab)use of power in the Minearverse thread:

Tim Minear: msbelle, that is a great idea! I'm passing it along to Sandy Grushow now.

Oh, wait, uh, or whoever is in charge now.

Kristen: Gail Berman. You want her home number?

Tim Minear: Back away from the Network President's home phone number... nothing to see here. Move along.

Kristen: I would like to state for the record that I have never actually called a network president, except when authorized by my former employer.

Any pizzas that Sandy Grushow may or may not have received in December of 2002 were merely a fluke coincidence.

Allyson: Pizzas? I sent Reavers. Hence, his leaving.

victor infante: And for those of you who DIDN'T think Kristen was the most dangerous woman in Hollywood...

Kristen: Hey, I didn't run over Ben Affleck the other day. Though it was tempting.

In Natter:

Jesse: Hey you guys -- Lori found water on Mars!! Cool.

DX: What? The tap didn't work?

Non-spoilery, in the Firefly thread:

Anne W.: This is a case where "Trust in Joss and Tremble in Fear before Tim" is all I need to know.
