The Jodie Landon Experience

Jimi Hendrix was born on this day in 1942. Jodie's alter ego of the late, great musician would probably give her parents at least one heart attack each, but doesn't she seem to be enjoying herself?

Daria canon gives us this anecdote about Hendrix, courtesy of Stan from "Speedtrapped":

Stan: Perhaps you fellows have heard of Jimi Hendrix.

Nick: You knew Hendrix?

Stan: You know how he played solos with his teeth?

Trent: You taught him that?

Stan: No, but one time when he broke a string, I drove him to the dentist.

I'm sure Stan was pulling that stuff out of thin air--when even Trent thinks you're full of it, you know you're a bad liar--but if he was going to make stuff up it seems like he could have come up with a more exciting story than that!

Hmm. I wonder if Stan ever met Joanna from "The Daria Hunter."

Fanfic Update!

• Daria - Double Down, by neonhomer (parts 7 and 8): "Trent held the door open for Daria, and she followed Jane in, with Trent following Daria. Jane took two steps in, looked around, and something caught her eye. 'Oh no.' said Jane half aloud. Since Jane stopped short, Daria bumped into her, and then Trent bumped into Daria. 'What’s the...' Daria started, then she saw her. 'Damn.”' She said to herself. 'Janey?' said Trent, then he saw her. 'Whoa.... *two* Darias?'" (Part 8)


• DW: The Many Doctors (Chapter 4) (Non-Daria), by cfardell_Brenorenz29 (part 1): "'This is strange,' Sabrina said. 'What is?' Sigrun asked after Daniel had left the room in a huff. She knew that she would win the arguement. 'The TARDIS is going beserk, usually the course changes are slight, but it is going all over the Milky Way!' Sabrina exclaimed. 'I suppose that there must be a reason?' Sigrun pondered. 'There has to be! The TARDIS can’t be doing it just for fun!'"


• Getting It On (Crossovers Still Crossing Over), by Charles RB (COMPLETE!): "She'd thought she'd known this place. She still knew Charlie; him taking a class hostage wasn't that strange, not after Carlson. But the class weren't hostages, that was the strange and terrifying part. They were revelling in this."


• I Burn For You (LLH 14.2), by Brother Grimace (COMPLETE!): "'Thanks for the tour of your city,' he said, raising his own glass. 'Sorry it didn’t end the way you would have liked – in your room at the sorority house, or at my hotel.' Several onlookers gasped – and a few that were already filming with cell-phone cameras smiled in triumph - as Anne threw her soda directly in Tom’s face. 'Consider that a disguise,' she said, setting her glass down and taking three ribs more for her trouble. 'Now, people will think you’re just a messy eater, instead of an asshole – or a coward.'" (Part 2)


• It's A Holiday's Night, by peapotmaster (part 1): "'What kind of job you got me this time? 'The mall is looking for someone to be an elf in the Santa House this year, and,' Helen spoke, but was interrupted. 'Not again,' replied Daria."


• Rude Awakening X-Tra: It's not war, It's Black Friday!, by DIsaac (COMPLETE!): "SANDI: Now company! The hour of our glory is near. In two hours the first store for Black Friday shopping will open. I have brought you here for your talents that will be need to win this day. All of the planing and studying will come down to a few brief second when you get that one product you want. Daria, Question?"


• Tigresses of Lawndale (reposted), by taishigi (parts 1 and 2): "Vitale raised his hand to stop questions. 'Eric was seriously injured; at this time it is not clear how badly but it is not good for him no matter what. He will certainly never walk again; it is possible he will never even wake up.' Helen's hand flew to her face. 'His father is taking it hard. This, after two heart attacks . . . well, he decided he needed to take it easy. We are now again merely Vitale, Horowitz, Riordan and Schrecter albeit with a different Schrecter. Would you feel capable of taking over Eric's total case load, along with his associates and juniors? We feel you would be. The other partners would be taking over the rest of the work.'" (Part 2)


• Tigresses of Summer (reposted), by taishigi (COMPLETE!): "'Oh, come on,' Jane pleaded, in the tone of voice that always worked on Trent, but which was usually far less effective on Daria. 'Instead of our normal drive-in attire, you want us to wear our moccasins or running shoes and cut-offs.' 'Yes.' 'And a halter top, which means no bra.' 'Yes!' 'Don't you think that would encourage the guys to explore, perhaps under the halter tops?' 'YES!'" (Part 6)
