Wash ,'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Re: the whole Joss thing, I'm reminded of Liz Lemon's discovery on 30 Rock that she was not the bullied nerd in HS as she had imagined but the one with the cutting and cruel tongue who hurt other people.
I have no doubt he was lacerating on set and shitty.
Puppy got his first snow today! He loved it and wanted to dash about but was on leash (poor baby)
I will say this about Buffy.
Since finding this place 'round about the airing of Wonderfalls, I have known what a good and healthy internet community looks like. I have been lucky enough to find and participate in several of them over the years.
I have noticed that no matter the ostensible reason for the community - a Broadway show, a video game podcast, whatever - there are always a healthy number of people who claim Buffy as a favorite, or their absolute favorite. Buffy inspires lots of good people.
It is awful that Joss was/is a terrible person, and if I could go back and block him from that power I would, in a heartbeat, save Charisma and the others from that toxicity; Buffy wasn't worth that horror.
But those of us who found something beautiful and wonderful and worthy of love and connection within the show are not to blame, and not wrong. Allyson, supporting the community that loved the show was, and is, a good thing. The man is not the show. And even the show is not the people. And the people are worth all of the love, and time, and energy, and devotion that you put into them.
Indeed, Gris. Thank you, and others, for their expression of my feelings.
Just saw the Chick Corea died. He was a big part of the reason I fell in love with jazz back in the early 70s.
I just found out my uncle died last night. He was posting goofy stuff on Facebook 14 hours ago.
I am sad.
I’m so sorry, Gris.
I'm sorry, Gris. My condolences.
I'm sorry for your loss, Gris. It sounds like this was unexpected and sudden.
It is a most delightful day in Buffistaland as our birthday twins Pix and Maria celebrate today. Most excellent day for creating people! I hope you both are duly spoiled and pampered today, and always.
I'm so sorry, Gris, for your and your family's loss.
