A film that I only saw because Gaiman mentioned a Strange Little Girl piano-playing singer/songwriter in the letter column of Sandman a zillion years ago. See what you miss from only getting the trades, and Vertigo's policy of not running the things anymore?
Well, not really, but I read about it on RDT because Tori had a song or two on the soundtrack, and I don't think I would have bought Little Earthquakes or joined the list if not for. . . never mind.
Added We Can't Tell Reality From Fantasy ("A Blog, A Fantasy Computer Game, and A Bunch of Hot Chicks Telling It Like It Is.") to the links list, albeit with some confusion as to an appropriate BtVS-themed nickname, after seeing the site in the referrer list. Currently right above the prettiness that is yano's current design, actually. Remind me to annoy her about actually reviewing Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men once she's settled down a bit. Or as much as she ever does.
Speaking of hot chicks, I'm going to be even more obnoxious about insisting that people subscribe to either Tristan's or Heather's, or both if you have that much disposable income for that sort of thing, for the duration. Lengthy, pseudo-intellectual justification regarding support for independent artists and shattering taboos about publicly acknowledging paying for one of the few supposedly profitable industries* on the Interweb upon request, but since I doubt anyone wants to read same any more than I feel like typing (not writing, typing) the thing, let's just take it as read that I've made a winning argument tying (guardedly) pro-pornographic (third wave) feminism(s) into intellectual property rights/artistic control and move on from there, all right?
No, I haven't had enough coffee this morning. Why do you ask?
* Except, of course, as independent artists, neither of them are part of that industry, and there's a qualitative difference in the work itself owing in part to the creative control resulting from . . sorry, said I'd only type that if someone asked for it.
After having your choices explained to me by an adamant Buffy and Angel fan, your choices seem to be completely appropriate. Plus there are three of us. I'm the crazy one. Vaughn is the evil one. jillz is the invisible one (at least she has been since she took up knitting and blogging about knitting).
You are very sweet for adding us to your list. Much smooches to you. Can I add you to ours? Or would that seem too pro-quid-quo? Is that even a bad thing?
Love,
Hanna
P.S. I don't have to get slain, do I?
P.P.S. Oh, to be 18 years younger and be the one Willow goes to Massachusetts with. Or if she were 18 years older, either or. Maybe split the difference? Sigh.
Hanna, no worries. Um, I've never been clear on the whole link exchange thing, so do what seems like a good idea at the time. And I'll try to come up with a third name, if necessary. . .
P.S. - No slaying unless requested. Either by you or a third party with a grudge.
P.P.S. - I sometimes wonder if the actress who played Kennedy still gets hate mail.
I went ahead and put a link to you, because my bookmarks are too crowded and it's easier to click things on the site where I am spending all my time anyway. We're not very political, though, just sometimes. But if the personal is political then anything is fair game, so what the heck. It's so hard to categorize people, it's so hard to be categorized. That and I never get to put in all the links I want to, all the deserving people, nice folks who I've gotten into conversations with who I want to link to and then I forget and next thing I know it is next month and I'm like, huh?
Hey, I was wondering if a story about two guys who found a bunch of fan mail to Joss Whedon in an old desk would be of any interest to you?
Whew, I'm glad I don't have to get slain. I don't think I'm up for doing any slaying. Not my thing. Vaughn on the other hand... she is always up for a good slaying.
I have no idea who Kennedy is, unless you mean the MTV VJ. I bet she still gets hate mail. I thought she was cute, though.
Hey, wait a second... third party with a grudge? Um, I might have to hire a bodyguard. Still, I'm glad you didn't put me in with the Xena fans. Not that there's anything *wrong* with that. :)
Love,
Hanna
Hanna, you should talk to Michelle. She claims she's a dyke, but has never watched a single episode of Xena in her life.
Poser.
Sorry, poseur.
Kennedy was (if I remember a'right) the jailbait that Willow hooked up with in the last season of Buffy. Where I'm using my definition of "jailbait," anyone under 30.
'tis why I call luvabeans that.
Well, not to her face, no.
Thanks for the link, and the linkage.
Hanna, I -have- watched eps of Xena, but it in no way justified Aaron's bestowal upon me of a Xena Action Figure once upon a time. Or the nick in the links- that decision was an old one now, & Aaron best knows why... : )
Thank you, I guess I understand now, but I've been reading all about Illyria and there are some parts of me that are like her: the part about being lost in a strange world without my superpowers and having to put up with snotty ex-pat Brits.
I used to be that strong. Used to ride my bike up and down the hills of Seattle -- no San Francisco, but we got some hills, this ain't Illinois (though I was born there and used to live in Rogers Park, so we all have this weird connection and you wouldn't believe me if I told you stories about Vaughn, and anyway it's not my place to tell them) -- I looked death in the eye, crashed a couple times, averted way more and I felt the wind in my hair (whistling through the helmet, I'm dumb, but I'm not stupid) and I had the Kryptonite in one hand waving off anyone getting too close. Seattle drivers. Feh.
I actually used to watch a fair bit of Xena, more than I've watched Buffy, but got tired of the "homoerotic for show" and anyway, I don't have a television anymore so it's all sort of moot.
I'm scared of the green list, afraid of what the pornographers are doing with that list they're making, cause I've worked for not those particular guys but different guys and I wouldn't trust them for nothin'. And then I found a fancy referral thingie, just like that, but you could run it on your own server and even keep the list secret if you want, or make it public. But then I forgot where I put it. It's probably in my history booklist, if you're interested. But maybe you're not interested and if people want to come to your site from our site, my responsibility leaves once they step off the porch, and I know you wouldn't do anything bad to anyone, Aaron.
I am happy that you got the lead role *and* the action figure. That's almost a trifecta. Oh, plus you got a special secret that gets a smiley, so that for sure is a trifecta. So, you're pretty fortunate, I think.
I am not sure if Vaughn is happy being Glory or not. I think she would like to have ultimate power over everything and have no morals and be able to crush puny humans, but... well, that's a secret I prolly shouldn't share.
Two more and I got my own trifecta. :)
Um, I'm sorry. I forgot what I was going to say, so I said that instead.
