Awww... I just stopped by for the first time today, clicked the new announcement in Press, and saw (1) Jon's announcement that the strike is over and the Random Quotes are back, and (2) the first Random Quote in months: Mal saying, "And so we live to fight another day."
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha, it does appear to be! I don't know who the woman is.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Awesome! I've had a powerful sense of Mere's words in my head for yonks, but I never had the face to complete the picture until now.

Our wings are not tired.
Cute picture.
I was sent a link to a MySpace page for a writer on Days that was fired during the strike. It doesn't look like he was rehired. [link] The fun part was looking at his front page, or whatever you MySpace people call it and seeing pictures from his favorite shows. Doctor Who, Torchwood, Buffy, Angel, BSG, The Office. I forget what else, but it cracked me up. The good television viewing must help balance the whole DOOL thing.

I thought that the agreement was that writers would be rehired.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Not all. There's contract conditions.

Apparently the head writer and pretty much all the staff writers for Days were fired during the strike and they used scab writers. I don't have any good rumor source, a friend that knows I care about writers sent me the MySpace link.

Laura, as part of the strike settlement, those writers are supposed to get their jobs back.
