First there was a Buffynicity from yesterday that I forgot.  For more than a week I’ve been half-recalling, half-imagining a conversation with somebody at a party years ago about mixed drinks and magic.  The Death Star was inspired by the moon of Saturn called “Mimas”, and I was suggesting “Mimasas”, which are like “Mimosas” – champagne and OJ.  But Mimasas would be red grapefruit juice.  If you were rich you could drink them with champagne that costs $23,000 a bottle, put back jello shots on the bottom and call them “Kroovies”.

Also in this conversation someone asked me if I’d ever made up a character named “Dru” – I’m pretty sure they were talking about Dru from Buffy TVS.  I told them I’d made up “Drew Scriver” years ago, a spoonerism for “Screwdriver”.  Drew was a good-natured comic book writer, “two thirds innocent fun, one third desperate need to get laid”.  This was the opposite of “Dru Id”, a dark, evil writer from the Saturn side.

Well at the end of the episode I watched yesterday, Buffy is recuperating from her illness and her mother brings her her favorite drink, “two parts oj, one part grapefruit juice”.
