It's Difficult to Make James Taylor Allusions, His Words Have a Very Specific Rhythm

[snurri]

Am leaving tomorrow early, on a jet plane. Will be largely incommunicado until I come back again in a week. I can think of two things I want to tell you. One, the first issue of Buffy Season 8 is out in comic stores as we speak. It's pretty cool. Some time has passed, a lot has happened, and certain beloved characters are held in abeyance (no doubt for future issues). There is the funny. This is the first ish of an ongoing series, but it's about as official as you can get, 'cause Joss is writing it. If you are a Buffy fan you will probably want this. If you are a Buffy fan who doesn't like comics, well, you do realize that Buffy was pretty much a comic book put on TV, don't you? Hold your nose and go buy it.

Two is also TV-related but not-so-good. Veronica Mars is in serious danger of cancellation. That, or a majorly weird format change which I am pretty "whahuh?" about. Honestly, my feelings about this are mixed enough that I won't be writing any letters; after the masterpiece of the first season the show has become a rather frustrating mess, albeit a very charming one. But if you're the sort that writes those letters, there's an address at the link above.

Finally, in honor of the holiday, a meme:

backstory at the same time as story is the main reason I think Veronica Mars season 1 worked as well as it did, and is the reason the show hasn't been nearly as well written since then.
