18 fact you might not know about Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I knew most of them. But not this:
2. When she was five, Sarah Michelle Gellar starred in a Burger King commercial that disparaged McDonald’s burgers. She was promptly named in a lawsuit by McDonald’s and had to give a deposition in the case.
"Autofocus" is the name of an especially weird Homicide episode...they named a fic archive after it also...it's hard for me to read it anywhere else and not blink.
“I have a disease? Bullshit. I cured it with my brain.”
Choosing phrasing reminiscent of River Tam's is not going to support your argument for your own competence, Charlie.
My onerous task was going to Sephora and spending $60 or $70 bucks. Wait, that was on a different list.
From the onerous list, I need to make some phone calls to cancel my gym and Tivo. And pay a parking ticket. Maybe some other stuff.

I knew that one! The issue was that one of her lines was something like, "I never eat at McDonald's," and McDonald's said that this was illegal unless Burger King could prove that she actually didn't ever eat at McDonald's, or something like that. So for a while, she had a contract with Burger King saying that, in order for them not to get sued, she wasn't allowed to eat at McDonald's. Or something like that. I read about it a while ago.
My autofocus list system does have you put this kind of stuff on your list. He says it's stuff you want to do, right? Why not put it on your to-do list. It's helpful in that you do cross stuff off, and then it's clearer where you're spending your time. Plus, then you feel differently about your list, like it's not just a list of things you hate.
I approve! That's a great idea.

I think I did know this, actually. (Uh, please tell me I'm not the only one? edit: Phew, Hil knew it too!)
Hmph. My bank is interfering with my ability to knock out my tasks, by not letting me log in.
I'm trying to cancel my Zipcar membership but their phone system has no way to get through to a person short of reporting an accident. But I did get an email address and sent an email saying I want to cancel, so I'll count it.
Onerous Task: actually get some work done, in between choosing an outfit and general pre-concert giddy preparation. (I have to be at the venue at 5:30 for the extra-bonus VIP show I bought a ticket for, so I'm not being *quite* as ridiculous as it may first seem.)
Onerous task:
Well, I filled out and scanned and emailed more paperwork for this consulting position. Really, the red tape here is ridiculous: these people are pickier than the federal government is. And no, I am not supplying you with my college and law school transcripts! Seriously.
BTW, here's a weird thing for the hivemind: they want me to identify a recipient for unpaid wages in case of my death on the job (complete with SS numbers). I have never heard of such a thing. Why wouldn't they just pay the rest of what I'm owed into my direct deposit and let them be distributed with my estate?
I don't get it. Thoughts?
