I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm backing up Nilly's Firefly reviews site right now, and then I'll be taking it down temporarily. I'll get it back up as soon as I can.

Who? moi??
Tonight the Overnight Walk takes place. This is a 20 mile walk thru the night for suicide awareness. I have had too many friends take their own lives. I really believe that if they had been more aware of what this does to those of us left behind, they might not have done it. Please go to this url and donate any amount.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Welcome comments, on content, web site layout and code. (I stole the idea from Allyson of opening with blurbs, and having a tabbed interface.) Is the big yellow fractal sun background overdoing it? Is the layout too dull, too loud? etc...

What is even happening?
The latest edition of Neptune Online is up. In it, Logan Echolls and Veronica Mars discuss two episodes of NBC's The Office: 2:10 - Christmas Party, and 2:11 - Booze Cruise. There's also a Dead Celebrity Round up, a discussion of The CW, and an advice column, too. The articles are in sync with the re-run season, so they're written as though they were for a March publication (but are brand new).
(The Office article was written by me.)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
