About 30 Hollywood celebrities (including Jorja) will kick off a campaign Thursday to seek the release of Myanmar’s democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi and push for freedom in the military-ruled nation.

Edit: You can see the Day 1 video (or rather the promo video, so maybe that’s day zero?) here. And if you can’t see that, I have screengrabs. All she says is “I am Aung San Suu Kyi.” It’s an “I am Spartacus” thing.
With her new book, “Thanking the Monkey”, Karen Dawn hopes to win people over and urge them to treat animals with compassion, as well as fight against animal exploitation. On Sunday, May 4th at 4pm, a book-signing and reading will be held at Mick’s Cafe (859 Swarthmore, Pacific Palisades, CA).
Jorja Fox will be reading.
If you go, photos are a must!

I’ve put in a meter along the sidebar to give everyone a live status. It looks all pretty too, don’t it? Animal Acres seems to be leading the pack, which is probably due to Jorja and the Hoe Down. I set our ‘goal’ at a rather arbitrary $200. I’ll keep bumping that up as we get closer, since if we raise over $1000, we can actually name things for Jorja. Wouldn’t that be a hoot?
Please spread the word to every CSI community that allows this sort of advertising. This is not a JFO only event, this is for everyone who wants to wish Jorja happy birthday.
Thanks to JAA, we have some banners and buttons for you. If you want to make your own, email them to webmaster @ jorjafox . net (just remove the spaces, spammers…). Please don’t send GIF files, as they will be deleted by my mail server. If you have a gif, I suggest posting it on tinypic.com and mailing the link. As always, hotlinking to JFO won’t work. You’ll need to download these and host them yourself.
We’re in the process of moving from a thousand categories to … a thousand tags. The goal is to both provide an easy way for you (the reader) to look through old post in a well-organized, human-readable manner, as well as optimize searchability and things like Google ranking. We dropped to 6th last night, it was time for action.
Categories will be for high-level organization. For example, there’s a category called Acting, but a post in that category may include the tags ‘CSI’ and ‘Television’ and so on. This is still being refined, naturally.
For those who are interested, check out: Categories versus Tags or Tags vs. Categories
Since we seem to be pro-animal this year, I’ve split the votes for either fundforanimals.org or animalacres.org (who had an astounding 50+ email votes! Yipes!). Winner takes all. Voting closes on the 30th of April, but donations will be open until July 1st, 2008.
Sadly due to US tax laws, I need everyone to use paypal this year. I know that crimps the students, and I do apologize, but my taxes were a mess this year and this is the simplest way for me to sort it out and avoid another audit. On the plus side, I have a merchant account with Paypal, which means a lot more security. I know a lot of people complain about Paypal, but I’ve been a member for 7 years and never had a problem.
Many thanks to Kerstin of grissomandsara.de for a promotional photo from Summer Stories: The Mall.
We’ve moved all TV movies and minis over to that area in honor of Diane and her temptations.
