I use an excel spreadsheet to archive everything.

You're no dummy Sister, you simply encountered 'unforseen circumstances'. Maybe find someone to pull you out?

Not the best choice of course, but that hardly makes you a dumbass. If I had a dollar for every dumb thing I've ever done, I could refinance Surface and Firefly being back on.

Hubby couldn't pull the car out?
Don't worry, it'll only sink until the bottom of the car touches, then the average density of the car should be considerably lower than that of the ground, and the car will 'float' on the surface until you get it out.
Ummmm Perhaps a neighbor has a jeep with a winch? A tow truck?

Back in from the snow vump.

Well, look at it this way, Sister. If you had Hawai'i's weather, your car might be sinking in lava =~[.]^=. We're hoping the flow from Pu'u O'o is still active, so we can do a night viewing of the lava. We'll be spending all out time on the Big Island, but, active volcanism is no big deal, usually.

Finishing up the packin' VOMP!

Adding my voice to the "Aloha Ray" chorus.
Hope you had a good flight, buddy.

I already miss his cheerful Status Report on my board.

Speaking of stats, FT, weren't you gonna provide us with some? I'll copy whatever you come up with (Except the charts) onto my board, as our fans are also intereted in how Firefly, Buffy, and the rest are progressing.

Thanky buddy.

I'll check back in a bit. Thanks for the coffee.

Here are some donuts I picked up on the way over. (I already scored a jelly-filled for myself he, he)

Hope you guys dig out of your respective snow storms, OK. Looks like another perfect day here, close to 80.

VOMP (Surface)

Here is the Surface status report from my board, for any of you who are interested...



Yesterday we got 108 nominations. That's down a couple from the day before, but outstanding for a Friday (which is traditionally, the slowest day)

Excellent job.

As expected Surface proved to be the Kryptonite to young Clark Kent's show. In fact he's wandering around the Phantom Zone wondering what happened.

Surface 3519
Smallville 3443


Now, for today, we have two shows we can easily pass...

Big Wolf on Campus 3584
Road to Avonlea 3537
Surface 3519

But we need to get as many votes as possible, because there is a fairly big jump to the show after (a days worth of noms) Pinky and the Brian.

Let's get as close to that as possible...

I lied (LOLOL), gonna post anyway VOMP (Moonlight as promised)

Thanks Leopard, we appreciate any help you can give. I give Moonlight a little bump myself everyday (although I watched it and wasn't crazy about it, sorry)

We all do what we can to help each other out around here. If I can get our average up to a couple of hundred Noms each day, I'll add even more support for the list of other shows I nom for.

Anyway, the reason I came back to post, was to mention that we sometimes wonder- "what good these polls do?"

Ray and I have both mentioned that they get your show noticed by other fans.

Today, I can offer proof of that statement.

Someone, who originally camne to my board to argue on the politics section, eventually became interested in the show itself.

This morning she has been emailing me asking me all about Firefly. Being a fan myself, I was able to answer all her questions, and she may very well buy the series DVD as a result.

I have no doubt that if she sees it she will like it, so as a DIRECT result of this little "contest" you all will have another fan who supports your show.


As long as we are discussing new fans, I loaned out my Surface DVD to a friend a few days back.

He, his ex, and their kid spent 3 mights watching it. They called me last night to say they are crazy about the show and will do whatever they can to support it, including voting/ nominating, which means that you will also be getting FF support, as I have our fans vote for your show, while Noming ours.

Jst thought you all might like to hear about all that. - Jstn

Ray & I have backstopped each other a couple of times and it's comforting to know that the data won't be lost if I can't get online for whatever reason while he's gone. You don't have to do anything beyond saving the files & posting them if asked. No crunching, no statistical analysis.
If you'd like to help but don't know how, just ask. I'll post a procedure for whichever software you've got.
