Striking a Blow

Shari and Sophie helped Bob Dylan send me a message:




I've also become obsessed with Facebook lately. I think it's the zombies. Definitely the zombies. Mostly, it's the nutty ability to pull all the people you know into one big pile on your desktop and see how the trivialities of their day is going without the overstimulation of MySpace. I claim that I'm trying to do professional networking, but I think the zombies probably have erradicated the validity of that claim.

The WGA is striking, picketing in front of all the major (and minor I assume) studio spaces, and it reminds me of being young, sitting inside the CSTA office waiting for my dad when he was head of the union. Teachers' strikes are always awful messy things because no one feels worse about the situation than the teachers, and yet, it's nearly impossible not to agree with their demands which are generally just adequate pay, adequate facilities, the respect and hours and rights they deserve.

But man I spent a lot of time waiting around for them.

I'm adamantly pro-union, though, and I fully support the writers on this issue. Finally, while my two readers don't actually have live television, a link to how TV shows are going to be affected by the strike:
