the board address was on the last aired episode of Firefly

I don't remember that. Somewhere in the final credits, I suppose? Tell me more.

jury duty...too mad....

I found jury duty to be immensely frustrating. Part of that was the difference between what I expected the jury was to decide and what the judge's instructions to the jury actually wanted the jury to decide.

I think it was an aftercard? It was something like, go here to find out what you can do to help Firefly be uncancelled, which was not at all correct, but got me here.

Last time I was dismissed during voir dire and that disappointing, but I hear enough to be kind of mad that both sides (of the civil case) were more concerned with ensuring “a level playing field” than getting to the truth. Which, I do understand why, but I have that ideal in my head anyway, I guess.

Today is Superior Court. I can’t remember how that’s different, but I am pretty sure it is

I think I first found the Buffistas back in Buffy Season 4/Angel Season 1, but don't quote me on that. The Bronze, MightyBigTV, and other fannish spaces from that time all kind of blend together for me. I was definitely around the following year for Dawn, Glory, and the lead-up to the wine cellar on Angel.

I have a memory of being familiar with ita from Salon's "Miss Cleo—Call Me Now!" thread and our mutual snarking on same before encountering the group as a whole.

I was brought to Salon (and this group among others) by Vortex and another IRL friend who were fans. End of 1999/beginning of 2000, when I too was temping.

The construction has restarted behind my house (they tore down the house that was there a few weeks ago, then did nothing, but now are digging out a new foundation for townhouses that will go there) and my dog is barking like mad. Guess I better go draw the blinds. But I feel a little bad, because I assume this is entertaining for him. But don’t want so much barking.

I was reading Salon and spending too much time on the boards...

I found Buffistas shortly after 9/11 while searching for a distraction from the world gone mad. This is still my shelter from a world gone mad!

I've only sat on a jury once, and I loved every moment. I could do it every day, but not violent crimes. I would suck at that. Just civil debauchery.

It’s been just waiting around so far. I am more frustrated than I would have guessed that wifi is so slow that I can’t tell if I’ve posted my Wordle in 2 to FB or not…

I have my current e-book downloaded, so it’s not like I don’t have anything else to occupy me

It was 2004-5 when I was temping at the S&WB that I was peak online, including being constantly here. Although I always have a tab open on my phone these days, so I am kind of constantly here now, too. But not necessarily in an active way.
