Braaaaaaaains...Not!

Good news for Kevin! Today is No Brainer Day, and we all know he wasn't using his anyway. I'm sure he and Brittany will fit right in for this holiday.

Today is also National Strawberry Day, so this would be a good day to visit Lawndale's famous Big Strawberry. Unless it's been overrun with zombies, that is.

Aw, Shoot!

As if anyone needed one more excuse to avoid Upchuck, now he's packing heat to celebrate Pistol Patent Day, or the anniversary of the day Samuel Colt patented the revolver in 1836. Without that weapon, Daria could not have been accidentally framed for Kevin's murder in her dream sequence and--you know what? I'm going to stop now before that sentence gets any weirder.

In other news, today is also the anniversary of the episode "Partner's Complaint" in 2000. Jane and Daria made their peace over Jane dating Tom, but if only they'd known how much worse things could get. I guess we should be glad they didn't have any revolvers, huh?

Fanfic Update!

• The Crooked Smile, by YouthofOz (COMPLETE!): "(Daria and Jane walk to school. Daria hums happily to herself, skipping as she walks.) JANE: I'm surprised you're even getting out of bed.

• Daria's Makeover, by Meester_Lee (part 6): "Daria presented her note to the school nurse and got an endorsement excusing her from PE. After that, it was back to classes. Her afternoon was—different."


• Daria The Temptress, by WildDogJJ (parts 5 and 6): "Daria and her boyfriend, Paul, were relaxing in the apartment she and Jane shared. They sat on the couch watching TV." (Part 6)


• The Date, by elainefr (part 8): "Daria lay on her back looking up at the ceiling of her room. Things were going well for her on all fronts."


• Freefall, by atiyatortilla (part 6): "It was 2:00 in the morning when the rousing chorus of ‘It's Gonna Be Me' startled Tori awake. She nearly fell from the couch as she scrambled to locate her silver flip phone."


• Home, by Rémi (part 4): "A bookshop in Lawndale. Daria and Quinn are searching the sets of shelves, picking books as they do."


• Journey into Misery, by Captain Marbles (parts 1 and 2): "Daria awoke to the grating sound of pop music coming from her sister's cell phone. She wondered for the umpteenth time what had possessed her to come along on this family retreat to Norway, of all places - then she remembered." (Part 2)


• Life Is A Four-Letter Word, by YouthofOz (part 1): "Quinn Morgendorffer was good at not thinking about troublesome things. It was a brilliant skill that let her compartmentalize life, focusing life into certain areas where it was best needed."


• Right in the Genes (Iron Chef: The Daria Gene), by nightbeast37 (COMPLETE!): "Helen, Jake and Daria literally rushed inside the doctor's building just to have a 'little talk' with him. Jake was still quite skeptic on Daria having her own gene, so he felt that if he talked to the doctor about it, they could sort it out once and for all."


• A Spring Afternoon, by JPAGC (COMPLETE!): "Later, Daria, alone in her room, worked on another problem. This time it regarded strings attached to weights and how much potential and kinetic energy was being displayed."


• Together, by atiyatortilla (part 1): "From a young age, Tom realized that his life had already been mapped out for him."


• You Want It Darker, by MedusaLSM (part 6): "At the weekend she was moving in with Daria for a while, volunteering as catsitter to Godzilla so Daria wouldn't have to keep dragging her ass across the city to babysit Jane at night then return to her actual dependent in the afternoons."

Tennis, Anyone?

Daria looks pretty unenthusiastic about Play Tennis Day, but then again she looks unenthusiastic about pretty much everything. This holiday seems more Jodie's speed, both in terms of being on the tennis team and being buried in extracurricular activities. Come to think of it, Jake--having once wanted to go to tennis camp--might enjoy this one as well.

Today is also the anniversary of "The Daria Hunter," which aired on this day in 1998. There wasn't any tennis in that one, but we did get to see Brittany's impressive combat skills in action.

Cards and Cars

Tiffany's ready to tell your future for Card Reading Day, but I don't think any of us would live long enough to get through an entire tarot reading at her pace. Still, she'd make a fortune if the phone hotline charges by the minute.

Stacy's Is It College Yet? alter ego will also enjoy today, because it's also the anniversary of NASCAR! I have no idea how Future Stacy might end up a racecar driver, but I suppose anything that pisses off Sandi would be fine by her.

Fanfic Update!

• Changing Lanes, by midnightabyss86 (part 20): "'So how's the writing coming along?' Jane asked Daria, who was visiting and typing away on Jane's used electric typewriter."

• The Janes Must Be Crazy!, by TheBrodsterBoy (COMPLETE!): "It was a dark night. Jane paced around, carefully thinking to herself."


• Life That Dare Not Speak Its Name, by YouthofOz (COMPLETE!): "It was odd having Daria and Jane following them around, filming them. Sandi felt like she was on the defensive, justifying their empty actions and hollow routines - okay, the Fashion Club wasn't curing diseases and stopping wars but they were having fun." (Part 15) (Part 16) (Part 17) (Part 19) (Part 20) (Part 21) (Part 22)


• No Rain, by Lady Evil (part 35): "'Those are some nice flowers.' said Dr. Becky. 'Thanks.' said Daria. 'Trent gave them to me.' 'That friend of yours?' 'We're not friends.'"

• Rude Awakening: The Cynical Ones Could See That Coming!, by DIsaac (part 1): "There are things in life that are so obvious. To the point that if anyone pays attention to what is happening that would get it with immediate effect!"

Heliocentrism is Reeeeeeally Shiiiiiny....

I would say that Tiffany is helping us celebrate Nicolaus Copernicus's birth on this day in 1473, but I don't think she even knows who that is. Indeed, the idea that the universe revolves around anything that isn't Tiffany is probably too much for her brain to handle.

This is also the anniversary of the episode "Fizz Ed" in 2001, which contains one of the greatest Daria moments in history: Ms. Li's axe-wielding breakdown. It really doesn't get much better than that.

It's Not Over Until the Butterfly Sings!

Daria seems to have gotten a little confused about the anniversary of Madama Butterfly on this day in 1904. Of course, if you'd like to join Mr. DeMartino in the automotive department, the Payday performance of the opera will begin shortly.

Speaking of singing, this is also the anniversary of the episode "Daria!" in 1999. None of the singing was exactly opera-quality, but we did get to hear Jake rhyme "Lexus" and "solar plexus." Try topping that, Puccini!

Today is also Michael Jordan's 56th birthday, and I'm sure Mack's father is happy about the occasion. Mack's feelings are likely less enthusiastic, given the grief he's had to endure over his middle name.

Fanfic Update!

• Changing Lanes, by midnightabyss86 (part 19): "Stacy squinted her eyes in annoyance, as she finished her practice exam."

• Reason Awakens (Iron Chef: Four Post Fashion Scenarios), by EntrancedCat (COMPLETE!): "In the short history of the Fashion Club at Lawndale High many teenage boys had marvelled at the shortness of chief accessory officer Tiffany Blum-Deckler's mini-skirts even as many teenage girls whispered behind her back about the length of leg Tiffany was disposed to expose to assay the limits of Lawndale's lax dress code."


• A spring afternoon (Iron Chef: The Return of 7 item list story game AKA CHOPPED: PPMB STYLE), by JPAGC (part 2): "There was no sign of Jake when Daria and Jane passed through the foyer, though the mess of card boxes and wrapping styrofoam remained. Jen went directly into the kitchen, opened a cupboard an took out two mugs."


• Switch (Extended Play mix), by frogfarm (COMPLETE!): "MORGENDORFFER KITCHEN, the evening of the concert. HELEN is rapidly shuffling through paperwork and stuffing it into a briefcase. JANE-in-DARIA stands at the counter with her, looking flummoxed. Also slightly more arty than usual, in a tie-dyed shirt and hip hugger jeans."


• Unnamed story (LLH Short Entries #2), by Roentgen (part 169): "It had been a long meeting, and the members of Chapter One were in a morose mood. Sandi knew it, and she hadn't gotten to the big news yet."


• Winter Is Coming, by Meester_Lee (part 12): "That might have been the highlight of Friday evening at Schloss Morgendorffer except that the phone rang as the Morgendorffers were finishing up dinner—a mixture of home-cooked vegetables and pre-cooked roast chicken that Helen had picked up from Lloyd's."

Daria, Look Out! He's RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

It's Singles Awareness Day, and Daria is all too aware of her singleness right now. Of course, before long it'll be Jane's turn to be single and by the end of the series all three of them will be.

You know, I have a better idea. How about everyone just celebrates one of my favorite holidays, Half-Priced Candy Day? Much less depressing, plus there's candy. Everybody wins!

Who Wants a Freeeeee T-Shirt?!

Don't look now, but Bing and/or the Spatula Man is gearing up for World Radio Day, even though literally everyone wishes he wouldn't. If you'd like some good radio, check out "Free Radio Lawndale" by Ken Tremberth and Erin Mills. It's unfinished (pitchfork jab), but a fun read.

I doubt it would help their act, but the Z-93 duo might benefit from better nicknames. If so, this is the day for it, because today is also Get a Different Name Day. In the wise words of Jake Morgendorffer, "Then you walk away. You change your name, move to another state, get some ID. It's not too late to start over, Daria, it's not too late! You're still a young man! You don't have to live with your mistakes! Get out while you can!"

• Winter Is Coming, by Meester_Lee (part 11): "The school week ended and everybody was exhausted, despite the fact that Lawndale High's remaining roofing remain in place. Daria and Quinn got picked up after school while Jane remained behind for practice."

"Beautiful, beautiful tryptophane!"

It may be Don't Cry over Spilled Milk Day, but it looks like Jake is neither spilling milk nor crying. Which is good, because the last time he spilled milk he nearly burned the entire house down.

Today is also National Inventors Day, so if there's a gadget you think the world needs then you'd better get cracking. Andrew Landon would like to remind everyone that "folding coffee cup" is already taken.

Mr. DeMartino appears to be observing Toothache Day, although I'm sure he'd rather not be. Also, given a choice between a toothache and putting up with Mr. O'Neill, I think I'd just live with the toothache.

In happier news, today is also National Pizza Day. If you need help figuring out how to celebrate this one, you don't deserve to call yourself a Daria fan.

• Unnamed story (Scenes No Daria fanfic should have: The Saga Goes On), by Silver (COMPLETE!): "Football, it had to be said, wasn't this big in Texas. When Highland High or the Cowboys won, the residents had never rioted, looted, and generally caused the kind of havoc that required the Maryland National Guard to be called in."

Let Me Guess Who Came Up With This Holiday....

I see Quinn's friends have been celebrating Send a Card to a Friend Day, unless those are all just cheerful death threats from Sandi. I suppose Stacy is still giving away her cards for free, because I don't think she has the backbone to try to charge anyone for them.

Today is also the anniversary of Laura Ingalls Wilder's birth on this day in 1867. She wrote the Little House books, which were referenced twice on the show: once when Travis stole a story from the TV show based on the books in "Speedtrapped," and again when Jane referred to Earl and Barbara as "Little Hell on the Prairie."

Turns Out Science DOES Know a Few Things, Quinn!

Let's wish the Al Roker look-a-like from "Daria!" a happy National Weatherperson's Day, and hope that people are more willing to listen to him the next time he predicts a hurricane.

While I'm glad that Helen is so enthusiastic about Feed the Birds Day, I really don't think she needed to take it quite that far. Jake seems to appreciate it, though, so I guess it's all good.
