Claire: Hey, you around?
Erica: Hi Claire! Long time no chat. How’s school?
Claire: Sorry. Things have been crazy around here. How’s UVA?
Erica: I like it. Feels like a real school, u know what i mean?
Claire: No clue. My calc TA talks through a ventriloquist’s dummy. i should have applied to more colleges.
Erica: Oh well, make the most of it … and maybe VISIT me in C’Ville this semester?
Claire: I’d love to, but i just busted my travel budget for like the next two years
Erica: already? how?
Claire: You know how I feel about Joss Wheadon and pretty much anything he does, right?
Erica: i think the whole town remembers when you thought you were in dollhouse and had your real identity downloaded to a hard drive
Claire: i know i know.
to be fair it had just been cancelled and i was v. emotionally fragile
anyway, i saw a flyer for a firefly musical
open tryouts in Hollywood
Erica: you didn’t go. no way.
Claire: yes i did.
Erica: how was it?
Claire: first of all, in-n-out burger is all everyone says it is and more
i was surprised how out of the way the getty museum is
but there WAS NO AUDITION!!!
Erica: for a musical based on a movie and a tv show that were commercial flops
if spiderman can’t make it on broadway, firefly??? rly?
Claire: I should have known because the flyer was all in comic sans
Erica: nothing that matters is ever written in comic sans
Claire: well now im back and never making that mistake again
Erica: good. how’s things otherwise? any boys?
Claire: nope, just me and Otto
Erica: otto?
Claire: he’s a squishable octopus. i’ll send you a pic
Erica: sweet, gotta run. the boys upstairs want to go to the sticks and steal road signs
so u kno i can;t miss that
Claire: sometimes i swear i hear him talk behind my back
oh ok kewl
ttyl
I often imagine that when I am away, my Squishables are having adventures and they have to rush back to their places when they hear the door opening.
then you and my paranoid schizo sis have something in common,lol
wheadon’s a fool, he got lucky people took him seriously after that studio ruined his buffy film.
firefly did nothing to me, and i love sci-fi, dollhouse was going to be horribly boring, worse than dark angel. back to finish rewatching the angel series…
Haha I enjoyed Firefly, and while the TV show was a financial flop, the movie didn’t do too badly at all.
And Nina Jr. being trapped in a closet reading bad spy novels fits perfectly XD
Now I wanna know what happens next.
Its pretty good for a web-comic about stuffed animals.
Keep up the good work!
Heehee! The squishables scrambling back to their places reminds me of the movie series of Toy Story, don’t cha think? I’ve always imagined my squishables having feelings and doing stuff behind my back…
The conversation between Claire and her friend was hilarious! It even included the typos and everything. Looks like Claires suspicious. I’m impressed that she was able to name the font on the flyer.
