October Begins

Quinn, with the help of a good makeup team, here represents International Day for Older Persons, also known as International Day for the Elderly, better known as October 1st. It's also World Vegetarian Day, and the Three Js are too perfect (like peas in a pod) for the role.

One of the greatest (most awful) tabloids of all time, full of whacked-out news, scandal, and non-news right up there with Sick, Sad World, was founded 166 years ago today: News of the World. Daria could be an editor and writer for such a thing, couldn't she?

And happy birthday to the voice of Stacy Rowe, the great Sarah Drew. Cheers! And stay tooned.

Like Peas in a Pod

I wasn't sure I would ever have a use for this alter ago, but today was the key: it's World Vegetarian Day! Hooray! I am going to have a hamburger to celebrate that.

October is interesting because a lot of fanfics apparently take place this month. They include:

* "All My Children" (Chapter 6), by Thea Zara and Deref
* "Community Disservice," by Mike Yamiolkoski
* "Dark Horizon," by Nemo Blank
* "Scarlett" (Chapter 1, the mouse's rescue)
* "Something for You," by Richard Lobinske

There are more, but that will do. Daria also had a story published in October nine years ago in Richard Lobinske's "Nineteen in Ninety-Nine."
