Hi there.
I've been off the board for quite a while thanks to serious illness in the family, a new job, and new house (I think that totals 9.6 on the stress-o-meter).
Anyways, given all that I won't be able to organize the seventh annual Sooper Sekrit Buffista Gift Exchange. If anyone else is interested in taking on the job, please email me at my profile email address.
Thanks, and I hope to see you all again sometime in 2008...

(X-posted from my LJ) Hey, could one of the L.A./Hollywood Buffistas help me out?
Could I talk one of you into going to the BPAL this coming Friday night (they're open from 7PM to 10PM.) I would be able to email them and pre-order and pay for the bottles I want, I just need someone local to go pick them up and mail them to me. Please mail me at my profile addy if you can help me out!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
If you haven't yet, go listen to me interview Patricia Smith, Mark Eleveld and Marvin Bell. You will not regret it. Three amazing literary thinkers with their fingers on the pulse of contemporary poetry.

Stepping into Dani's big hat, for the Secret Santa Exchange:
Anyone interested in exchanging small presents with other Buffistas during the holiday season, email me at my profile address with your Buffista name and a snail-mail location to which people can send your loot. I will match up givers & giftees in a highly rigorous, random process -- i.e. drawing names out of a hat.
Please try to email me by November 9. I'll match names and send out notices by November 11, to allow for lots of present buying/making and mailing time.
Your truly,
Tiny Jewish not-Santa
[Edit: P.S. Apparently, there's not going to be a Slacker exchange this year, so please make sure to e-mail me on time!]

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Lightbulbs is now open for discussion of the following proposal:
I propose that we close the dedicated Firefly thread and continue our discussions in the Minearverse thread.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
