if you haven't seen the new Buffy promos, you can start downloading from here. the big one("Without Buffy") is well worth the time to download. 'course, it only took me 15 seconds to download it, but i'd say the same if it'd taken an hour.

the building's power cut out today. the phones and network went down. i've never seen so many tech people running so quickly before. hilarious! they were running in and out of glass-walled rooms and darkened closets. they'd group together in huge numbers for a few seconds, then scatter. there was much moaning and 'oh shit!'ing. the boss came around and told everyone to go to lunch for 90 minutes. everyone but the techs cheered. as i left the parking lot, fire engines came screaming in. there was no fire, and no one's sure of why TFD showed up, but it was grand fun for us anyway.

Joss Whedon; The Onion Interview.
don't miss the rest here.

and for those who waited impatiently for it (which, i guess, may only be me), Redcricket has a new camtoon.

cool.

Thurmond, Helms, and now, Gramm. i'm a little worried that the GOP has something going on.

UPN Rolls Out Buffy Blitz. i'd probably cause an accident if i was driving down the road and saw a Buffy billboard.

from the Daily News article mentioned in the link above: "Buffy" creator Joss Whedon wrapped up the series last spring with a cliffhanger episode that left viewers unsure whether the heroine was alive or dead.

that's wrong, of course. we knew she was quite dead.

see some more Buffy tv ads at the UPN site (click on the Buffy button, then start mouseover-ing candles).

just because the title cracks me up: Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (synopsis and cover).

"I've been thinking about changing my major from Home Economics to Feminist Studies, but I wasn't sure if you had any feminist cooking classes."

it's not the cannibal women so much as the Avocado Jungle of Death. we need more place names like that (Death Valley is so boring. someone should spice it up).

good gravy, i didn't need to have this image in my mind.

some wizard gave me courage this weekend.
last night was a pleasant evening of good conversation and mucho smoochies with Video Store Guy (yes, i know i've never mentioned him here before. no, i never tell you anything. lighten up, mom) .

already spitting into the face of whomever it is that decided you're not supposed to do it after Labor Day, today, i wear white.
