I have decided that in a show of support for the striking members of the Writers Guild of America, I shall not be writing any material either for television productions or motion pictures for the duration of the strike, as much as it pains me not to do so.  But I ain’t no scab.

(Want to know more about what’s going on with the strike and just what the writers are trying to accomplish?  Go read John Rogers and/or Brian K. Vaughan, among many, many others, for the skinny.)

Some great commentary (as usual) from Joss: http://whedonesque.com/comments/14639#195462

Mmmm, Joss. Oh, how I do so covet that main's brain.

Thanks for the link! I'm usually interested in what he's got to say on, well, anything.

Also: hi! How're you doing? We need to catch up on stuff sometime relatively soonish. :)

Not bad ... things are overall quite good, although this is both an energetic and an energy-draining time of year. When are you next in the area?

I'm not sure yet when we're going to be up again... probably won't be until early '08 since we've got family coming here for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. But as soon as I know, I'll let you know! Our intention as of right now is not to spend quite so much time with T's family when we're there next, so that we can see the people we want to see rather than the people we have to see. :)

Heh,... "enlarged balls." Steve Carell rocks. :)

The Office is already my favorite show, and as much as I hate to think about episodes not going into production, I'm proud that the whole staff stood up for the writers (who make up so much of that staff!).

In case you haven't seen it yet, this is freakin' brilliant:

I hadn't seen that... that's awesome. Friggin' suits. ;)

Thanks for the link! I plan to share that with others. :)
