//Now I understand that kicked in the gut feeling many of you have already experienced.//
Yup, yup, yup. It's the worst. Personally I think on May 20 at 9 PM it's just going to be numbness. Then these sudden emotional tsunamis are going to hit us out of the blue at the oddest times and places for who knows how long.

Suppuku is literally "belly-slitting," I've been told (I don't speak Japanese). It's also known (under various spellings) as hara-kiri.

OK, I'll be Dawn.
Fair warning - I took ballet when I was little but the teacher told me I had to quit because...let's see, how did she so eloquently put it? Oh, yeah...because I was "awful and full of no grace!" - yep, those are exactly the words you want to hear when you are 5, 6 years old. So my response (naturally) was to kick her in the shins as hard as I could and run out. (I was also playing baseball and soccer, well, you know, for 6 year olds so I was pretty scrappy)
Just a little warning - say I'm full of no grace and we'll see how fun it is to not walk for a few days (I'm older and tougher now). As Willow stated, a vague disclaimer is nobody's friend. Actually, my warning was a little vague. Here it is again: say I'm full of no grace (what the hell does that mean anyway?) and I will kick you so hard, you won't be able to walk for a few days. Questions? ;-)

He's sick or something, isn't he? Well, maybe he'll be ok by the time technical rehearsal comes around.

Girl, if you haven't learned by now not to be reading the board and drinking Coke (or anything else) at the same time--well, then you deserve to spray the keyboard.
(Continuing with tasteless--did you spew from the mouth....or nose?)

I have actually had two small unexpected crying jags in the last week. I think part of it was just coming down from 'the journey to Mecca' (convention), and the rest was panic/grief about Buffy ending.
I realized today that we will know whether Angel is renewed BEFORE the final episode of Buffy is aired...so there could either be a kind of painkiller there or an increased bereavement, depending. Oh me....

I was just listening to Aimee Mann's Lost in Space CD. I can't remember if this was used on Buffy but it should have been. Very Season 6.
The Moth.
The moth don't care when he sees the flame/He might get burned, but he's in the game/And once he's in he can't go back/He'll beat his wings 'til he burns them black/No the moth don't care when he sees the flame/No the moth don't care when he sees the flame.
The moth don't care if the flame is real/Cause the moth and flame got a sweetheart deal/And nothing fuels a good flirtation/Like need and anger and desperation/No the moth don't care if the flame is real/No the moth don't care if the flame is real.
So come on, lets go--ready or not/Cause there's a flame I know, hotter than hot/And with a fuse that's so thoroughly shot away.
The moth don't care if the flame burns low/Cause moth believes in the afterglow/And flames are never doused completely/All you really need is the love of heat--/No, the moth don't care if the flame burns low/No, the moth don't care if the flame burns low.
So come on, lets go--ready or not/Cause there's a flame I know, hotter than hot/And with a fuse that's so thoroughly shot away.

A classic line if ever there was one, and put perfectly in place.

Since I will probably never post a photo of my own (due to technical lameness) you can go here: www.democratandchronicle.com/biznews/0506story2_business.shtmlto see a picture of my brother. We look nothing alike...except for the moustache! I want to play one of the guys with the big puppet heads. Or, maybe, just take care of the money.

Mouth - it's always about the mouth!
And I realize that statement could be miconstrued on so many levels!

Don't worry, Patti, you're not quite alone. I won't be able to post until tomorrow morning after the kids go to school, but then I'll have had all night to obsess. Anne Davis

//And I realize that statement could be miconstrued on so many levels// And now I am channeling Dave. (Except there are only two "re's" in the title). Just pulling your chain, Dave. . It's a colloquialism. You know what I meant!

Lee said: Fair warning - I took ballet when I was little but the teacher told me I had to quit because...let's see, how did she so eloquently put it? Oh, yeah...because I was "awful and full of no grace!" I got one for you, Lee. My first publisher, Don Wollheim, didn't like my name and insisted a choose a pseudonym, because Nancy Ann Dibble sounded (and I quote) "too much like a Victorian sofa." You don't forget a line like that, either. Hence, most of my books were published as "Ansen Dibell," which I wrongly thought people would find easier to read/pronounce. Once you start, you might as well go on.... Nan

I tried to think of a clever or funny rejoinder but I'm just too weary. If Buffy wearn't on tonight I'd just fall into bed as soon as I got home and finished my chores. Um, think of the chicken soup as his necessary blood and the wine as the burba weed to give it that extra little kick. It's nutruitious (and allegedly according to certain segments of medical science not without actual medicinal properties, or so I have heard.) Except that instead of a kick the wine will just enhance the flavor and help him go noddy-biinker-night-nights a bit easier. Try it, you'll like it. I expect that if he just drank wine while sick already on an otherwise empty stomach it might make him feel even yukkier in the end. Don't ya think? deborah deborah

I tend to trust Aint It Cool's breaking news when it comes to the renewal. They've always had a VERY accurate history when it comes to scoops at the WB. If they say it's coming back, I believe them. More importantly, the ratings were actually halfway decent on Sunday before they jerked it around this year. The WB have only themselves to blame for the show not attracting a wider audience. Plus, alongside Gilmore Girls it's their most respected show. That carries some weight. Furthermore if the WB is dumb enough to let Angel go I'd be stunned if UPN doesn't pick them up. BTVS is their one and only respectable show. If something with a ready-made fan base like Angel falls into their lap, they will snap it up. I'm gonna call it right now. Angel comes back.
