I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Buffy ,'Lessons'

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Oh - It's a movie? It totally seemed like a series to me.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I could have sworn this is the text of what i posted:

ABC signed Charisma as the lead in its romantic made-for-tv comedy, See Jane Date, airing August 16, 2003 at 8pm EST/PST on ABC Family.

Charisma plays the lead character, Jane Grant, "a hard working assistant editor who sees her life headed for disaster when her boss assigns her the task of editing the memoirs of soap star Natasha Nutley (Holly Marie Combs), who also happens to be Jane's high school nemesis. TO make matters worse, her cousin is getting married in an extravagant wedding ceremony and her autn is on her back abut who her date will be. Jane ends up devising a big lie about dating the perfect man who will be accopmanying her to the nuptials. Jane then has to scramble to find a real date to fit the fictituous description."

It describes the movie, not spoiling it, or Angel.

I see that I should have posted that charisma-carpenter.com may have spoilers, and I should have mentioned that.

I seem to be screwing up a lot lately,

Maybe I should take a vacation from the board.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Yeah Jon, and after your previous message I went back and white-fonted because I'm still not sure.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Daniel, that was the quote but the first sentance

sounds more like the premiere of a series, not a one-off. And if it's a series, CC's probably not back on Angel. If it's a one-off, it's probably no biggie.

If it is the latter, sorry for the kerfuffle (and the white-font).

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Daniel, when I first saw the post I could swear it started off with a reference to "the dust having hardly settled" from her departure from Angel or words to that effect. Am I imagining this?

(Um, serious question, not trying to snark at you.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

DCJ, it was the sentence or two before what you quoted in the whitefont above that had people alarmed, I suspect (something to with a falling-out on Angel, or fallout from the Angel news? I don't remember exactly ).

But, please, don't feel like you need to go hide yourself away.

Daniel, you've said recently that you're dealing with exhaustion and other life stuff, and I understand how frustrating that gets. The thing the other night about the spoilers thread (I only saw the part that migrated here) seemed like it just got a little bit testier than anyone meant it to, and that's something I personally have a real problem with when I'm overtired. We know you're having it kind of rough right now, and I hope you do manage to find some rest and some peace in the coming days. But don't feel you have to stay away. We know you, and we're a forgiving sort anyway.

I did not intend to post the sentance before that. It was an error.

Sorry, feeling depressed.

Totally get that, Daniel. I do hope you start feeling better soon.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Sorry, feeling depressed.

Not long after I arrived here I posted a big old spoiler in the Un-Americans thread for the Buffy finale. I felt terrible about it, but it happens. I've seen it happen to other folks here - so, no worries.
