And If You Spill It, Don't Cry!

It's World Milk Day, so Jake is chugging for everything he's worth. One might argue that that isn't much, but I'm not going to. Why stress the poor guy out right after he's finished some nice, calming milk?

On this day in 1997, Daria was featured in the Washington Post. If you've never read it, check it out for some interesting trivia and early speculation on Daria's future from Glenn Eichler.

Fanfic Update!

• Beach Daze, by WildDogJJ (part 1): "Daria and Jane are at their usual table celebrating the end of the school year. Jane: 'Ah, summer! Just think, no more pencils, no more books, no more DeMartino's psychotic looks!'"


• Changing Janes (Iron Chef: Send in the Clones), by YouthofOz (COMPLETE!): "Jane sighed and put down the paintbrush. She went to the front door and answered it. 'Oh, it's you,' she said, not bothering to feign enthusiasm."


• Daria Ravenclaw: The Highland Years, by Meester_Lee (part 67): "Ellen Bowden had now settled into her new job and had largely settled into her new digs: a 'mother-in-law' house behind an older witch's house southwest of Abilene. Her probationary period had ended and she began to feel that she was at last a professional doing social work for MACUSA."


• Daria's Great Adventure, by dmsfanman (part 25): "A door came down over the entrance to the room. It was immediately accompanied by a 'whooshing' sound that everyone could hear."


• The Date, by elainefr (part 11): "'Sorry about my dad, but-' Daria shrugged helplessly, 'he's my dad. It's the protective vibe thing.'"


• Fates Entwined, by Deep Metal (part 30): "'Stay out of this, Daria,' Zarathustra ordered. The old man gripped his staff as Angra Mainyu hurled multiple fireballs at him, deflecting them all one after another."


• On The Outside Looking In (Iron Chef: Send in the Clones), by YouthofOz (COMPLETE!): "Sandi Griffin refused to look self-conscious in the stupid and unflattering surgical gown as she followed the white-coated medical guy towards the waiting room."


• Quinn Got In The Car, by Lady Evil (part 5): "It was another day at the Okay to Cry Corral. It was lanyard making day. The kids really wanted to go swimming but O'Neil was afraid of algae blooms. That suited Daria fine."


• Skin Deep, by Kristen Bealer (parts 2 and 3): "Daria was only vaguely aware of what direction she was running in. Everything was dim and fuzzy, disconnected from her thoughts as she fled in terror." (Part 3)


• Teaching is a work of heart, by Rémi (part 11): "Morgendorffer household, living room. Quinn is excitedly telling her afternoon to Daria. Quinn : After that, Jane didn't want me to leave anymore. Then we had this long, meaningful talk about art and feelings and stuff... It was great : I never had a talk like this with the Fashion Club. I mean... Of course, we're always discussing things in the Fashion Club : clothes and make-up and that kind of things, but it isn't the same..."


• Todd's Life Lottery (Odds and Ends), by LSM (part 1): "You have a few advantages before you are born. You are born the United States in 1976. Your parents are white, Italian Americans to be precise, in a time when that wouldn't get you killed for anarchism or being suspected Mafia members."


• Unnamed story (Iron Chef: Send in the Clones), by Roentgen (COMPLETE!): "Quinn-1 and Quinn-2 were standing along the stairs at Brittany's party. It had been a great night for her-1,2. She-1,2 looked great, wearing pink-1 yellow-2 and dressed as stylishly as always."
