Questions Post #8, Poll #2: Emo

[lettered]

And save me from my real life.

Jossverse
Didn't Tim Minear (or David Greenwalt?) explicitly say in an interview that Fred was included in Connor's birth scene to fill out the role of the Virgin Mary? If so, can someone link the interview? Who?
How else is Connor's birth scene like the birth of Christ?
Why is Connor so fucked up?
What are the shower facilities like on Serenity?

Technicalities
Why does semagic close itself automagically so often?
Where on semagic does it tell people's birthdays?
Do you have to have PhotoShop to make cool graphics?
Isn't PhotoShop expensive? Did you all dl it? Isn't that illegal? Does that bother you?

Life
When I interrogated the mirror this morning I found that my hair had built a large but well fortified battlement atop my head, intent on defeating that mighty insurgent, the comb. But HAHAHAHA! The comb played the villainous hair for a fool, foiling its nefarious scheme of mischief and mayhem by not aproaching, instead retreating to the eternal peace of its crowded kingdom, the drawer. Wherefore the miscreant hair reared it's ugly split ends, as in a banner of victory, mocking the cowardly comb with wild abandon and occasional snarling.

Meanwhile, my oft treacherous jeans took the opportunity to sway the allegiance of my much beloved shirt, a shirt which I have lovingly attended with the tender ministrations of a friend and ally, the kind of ally who knows you must be kind to anything you put against your boobs. But alas, that sneaking and insideous zipper, so intent on degenercy and disgrace that it descends, drops, falls, without the least provocation, and despite my better efforts to raise it back up into the light, to Eden and to heaven and the proximity of my naval with a safety pin, that zipper connived with its foul intent to disrobe me by stealing away yet another buttor from my beloved shirt. It became, if you will, a turn-shirt, exposing my vulnerable flesh to the wanton eye.

And then, what should happen but the coffee maker, spying the way my hair had taken to with my scalp, and the way my abdomen was bared of all defenses, judged me but a weak accomplice at best, and issued the poorest, most watery of coffee... an underhanded move--not out and out villainy (decaf) but still, a blow, a crippling blow indeed.

[Poll #704339]

OMG NO I REALLY, REALLY NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW:

Anything going on with you? Fic bits you want to share? Stories? Jokes? Adventures in clothing, coffee, and hair? Thoughts about wearing hardware store shirts with other people's names on them? Odes to the dodo bird? Your favorite quote? Words you keep meaning to start using, but don't? Phrases? What you did last summer? How many licks it takes? The meaning of life?

I demand from each of you either one thing very clever, be it prose or verse, original or repeated -- or two things moderately clever -- or three things very dull indeed. And I engage to laugh heartily at them all.

I've watched all the Buffy commentaries but not all the Angel ones. The Joss commentaries are always worth checking out. But Tim Minear is incredibly boring on commentaries, almost as boring as David Greenwalt. The Lullaby commentary isn't bad because Mere Smith makes it more entertaining.

1. You have curly hair too?! That's very cool! In university my hair almost reached to my waist when it was wet & straight, but it never looked that long dry. I'm very jealous of your hairdresser!

2. I also hate feet and would have also chosen the bed over the cockroach too. eek. I haven't seen the bug again, I'm imagining that it's found its way outside.

3. This Anne talk is reminding me that I need to re-read the books for my crazy BtVS/Anne of Green Gables crossover idea!

I get bored during most commentaries, even when what everyone has to say is interesting. It's because I'm always watching the screen and saying, hey! I want to watch this ep again!

1. My hair was always wavy, but when I cut it for the very first time (when I was about 13) it went boing! and was so incredibly curly I looked like Shirley Temple without the dimples. So I kept it short for about 5 years, when all the sudden, the curl started to wear out, and it just turned wavy again. So, for the past 4 years I've been growing it out, just keeping it at a medium length...and then I started going to this hairdresser, and he cut it just so, so it's curly again! And yeah, my hairdresser is a great guy. I met him at Starbucks. He's a big Stargate fan, and I was like OMG, you would so like Firefly, and I lent it to him, and he loved it! Which is so nice because most RL people I know won't touch Joss Whedon with a 10 foot poll. /random story

2. I hope the bug didn't come back to haunt you.

3. I really hope you write that fic!
