You're a bloody puppet! You're a wee little puppet man!

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?  

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

I can't even.

Hmmmm, I seem to have all the Buffista Gadgets.

Dude, you are totally the prototype for "Hmm, I seem to be in contact with the Buffistas at any time of the day or night. Excelllllent."

I'd also recommend a TiVo and an iPod.

No TiVO available in Canadia, although there is a website dedicated to workarounds, I gather. There are DVRs but they aren't quite as cool as Steve-O. The iPod has been on the list for awhile too.

You kinda get used to flawless reception when making calls from home, but something changed with his service about 2 months in, and now he doesn't even get that. I'd go nuts.

A friend tried to talk me into doing that when I moved into my last place, but I wasn't keen. Bad reception and tiny buttons on cellphones drive me batty. I don't have a business need for one, usually (until all payphones everywhere go the way of the dodo), but I have to admit, using them as walkie-talkies to meet up with your friends is just about worthwhile all by itself.

Multi-region dvd player? Have had one for ages, for the express purpose of viewing foreign btvs dvds. I don't foresee another BtVS coming along. IOW, I won't care that much, most likely, even for stuff like Shaolin Soccer.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I have a cell phone, which includes a camera and mobile IM, and could let me access email if I paid a bit more. It's cool, though the mobile IM has been relatively unhelpful. Anyone who'd be IMing me could just as easily call me, and it's a pain to type on the numeric keypad.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I have a cell phone and no home phone, and I'm doing fine. I'm a little wary of my apartment next year, though. Uncertain about the signal quality.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love my cell phone. I hate using it at home.

Even when you don't consider BtVS, my multi-region player is worth its weight in gold for The Professionals and Crying Freeman. Vidocq is just gravy.

I had only a cellphone for awhile, back when I first got it, but then I moved in with roommates, so we had a home phone, and since then I've had DSL, so I have to have a home phone anyway. Mostly use my cell, though. It's got all the phone numbers in it!

Our wings are not tired

We've got a home phone, but I don't ever give out the number, and very rarely use it unless it is to get a FAX.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I like my cellphone with no picture. I like retaining some mystery, thanks. Also no iPod, sidekick, palm device of any sort, or TiVo. Working on the digital camera. Have multi-region dvd player, and functional wireless laptop. Which apparently didn't like Anne's wireless setup, or the operator was too dumb to set the laptop up right. Yes, Anne,

I lurves me some rollercoasters. Also, any other kind of ride that involves plummetting.

Who is a plummetting freak! I'm glad I didn't know this about you before. Nah, you go, have fun with it. I have serious plummetting problems. One of my major major freak-points.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have an ipod, blackberry, cellphone and wireless laptop. No plans to get a sidekick, since I already have to carry the blackberry and cellphone for work.

Compassionately intolerant

Feeling very Little House on the Prairie over here... no cellphone--I'd lose it, or get Lee Atwater's disease no pda--I make lists to lose them no microwave--Funny how my quality of life has not diminished no car--9 years...gonna have to turn in my Califorinian card. I think there is a rule. Who needs a car in DC? no tv--Hi, my name is Bj and I'm an addict...There is no 12 step in the world that can save me from the blinking eye. So I just watch tv on dvd.

I'm off to churn some Parkay.
