Total: $1098.90 Raised For Animal Acres

 

The drive is over, and any money that trickles in today will be refunded. We’ve popped the top on our goal with $1098.90 raised.

Add that to the $1033.28 raised for Burma and that means Jorja Fox Fans raised $2132.18 in three months!

From the 80ish year old woman who called me for help setting up her paypal account down to the teenager whose parents called to make sure I was legit before putting their child’s allowance in some stranger’s paypal account, I salute you all.

We’ve raised over 100%!

 

With just over half a day left, we’re there. Astounding!

I want you all to take a moment and say ‘I rock’, because in the span of three months, you guys raised over $1000 for JAA’s Burma ‘It Can’t Wait’ fund, as well as JFO’s Animal Acres 40th Birthday for Jorja. Think about that power of fandom for something other than a new iPhone or a video game. We did something for the world, expecting nothing more than the good feeling.

That’s the kind of social action that inspires us to make the world a better place. We are all better people for doing this and I’m terribly proud to be associated with all of you! I’m in talks with Animal Acres right now to do the donation in a way that honors you guys as well as Jorja Fox.

French Article: Translated

 

A HUGE, words cannot describe how cool you all are, thanks to everyone who helped me translate! Between the various versions, I was able to sort out something in English. Idioms are so hard to translate, because calling someone ‘My little cabbage’ makes most Americans double-take. But saying ‘mon petit chou’ makes perfect sense in French.

Telestar Article from November 2007

CBS announces CSI will premiere Oct 9.

 

According to a CBS Press Release, the premiere date was pushed back than the earlier suspected date. Why? Sources suggest it’s related to expected presidential debates. Better to air the first three or so CSI episodes together than air one, and take a week off.

81% and holding

 

So we’re not at $1000. $800 is still pretty awesome. There’s 4 days let to get your money in if you’ve been sitting on it. If you’re waiting for payday, feel free to let me know so I can hold off the money transfer for ya.

Still raising money for Animal Acres

Buddy TV Clears the Air

 

After the TV Guide article confused everyone, it’s nice that Buddy TV’s Kris De Leon stepped up with a simple explanation. Yes, it’s what we all thought, but it’s nice to have confirmation.

In addition to the first episode of the new season, Fox’s return will include the third episode, which she filmed during the last week of May.

Request: How’s your French?

 

I have a French magazine with an old interview of Jorja. Problem is my French to English translation skills are severely lacking. If you are fluent in both English and French, please email webmaster @ jorjafox.net and I’ll send you the article. I can try to clean up the article if your English isn’t tops, but I’m hoping one of you folks is acing French. :grin:

Edited: After 20 responses and already a few mail backs with article translations, I’ll sit down tonight and sort out the best re-reading of the article! Thank you everyone, you’re an awesome community!
