Great!
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Preliminary congratulations, Amy, more to come after you spill the details.

Barb, Amy, can I have new calves? Cause I really think I could get better bylines if I were buff. Did you eat today? Take your supplements? (/Drama)

The economy does make a difference, of course, but publishing goes through this all the time. It's very cyclical.
