"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

First, I always had in my mind that Dru got sick from being attacked by an angry mob - and it seems like they were both attacked - but that's not why she got sick - so it just didn't fit with my picture of what happened as far as show canon.

This is one of the reasons why I really liked the story, that things didn't happen the way we thought they had (presumably because stories get exaggerated and change as they pass from one person to another), and it still fit in well with cannon, imo.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

I thought the twist of the Spike and Dru story was just the irony of Spike declaring eternal love before setting on the path that would change all that. But yes, less impressive than the Whedon story.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Interesting rumor is going around on the comic boards.

The new writer for the New X-Men title is supposedly Joss Whedon. There is a implication that this hasn't been announced yet because they need to finesse their way around his employment contract with the studios.

How accurate is this? It's on more than one site, and supposedly with independent confirmation, but it is still a rumor. I put it in more than fifty/fifty correct, but not much more than that...

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

CABILL!

Is this true? Joss is writing X-Men?

Not that I'm the expert - but the last thing I saw in print was in Wizard magazine and it said he had been mentioned (but it didn't even say he was an official mention - just like a "wouldn't it be cool if") and the odds were 50 to 1.

I think they are even higher than that. For a tons of reasons, mostly time. And him not having enough of it.

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

Is this true? Joss is writing X-Men?

The rumor's been out there for awhile, and I'll admit, it's persisted longer than most of the thousand other rumors. (Warren Ellis--the other favorite--had to make a categorical denial on his e-mail list to convince people that he wasn't the new writer.

John Cassady, however, is more or less confirmed.
