Five fandoms is totally stretching it for me, but I can scrape up four.

( Buffy the Vampire Slayer )

My former tenant, who now lives across the street, came over Tuesday night. She explained, wringing her hands with distress, that Netflix had screwed up her cue and cut her off in the middle of Season 2 of Buffy--could she please please please borrow my DVDs? She also opined that Angel was hot. (Me: "Umm...") She had gotten through "Bad Eggs" ( Read more... )

I've gotten through "Fool for Love" in my BtVS rewatch (I took a brief hiatus to suck down the entire run of Farscape like it's crack and I'm its bitch *ahem* check out that Farscape show) and early Season 5 is making me unexpectedly sad. For obvious reasons, I tend to think of S6 as the year Buffy hit her lowest point, but I think I'd sort of ( Read more... )

...or definitive proof that I can multitask in multifandoms.

The first time I saw S4, I had a very hard time getting past how annoying I found Riley. I didn't start watching Buffy until S7, so I had the benefit of some hindsight, of knowing the basic outlines of his story even though I didn't know the details. Still, my visceral dislike was ( Read more... )

I'm liking Buffy S4 considerably more on rewatch than I did the first time I saw it. As molly_may said, the arc is weak, but a lot of the individual episodes are very strong standalones. ( Read more... )

Really, I don't just watch television. I read, I work, I speak to human beings. Really. And yet...

I now have no idea what's going on with Veronica Mars tonight. Supposedly, some affiliates are preempting it for the vice presidential debate. My DirecTV program guide still lists a new episode on my affiliate. The main UPN site says they're re ( Read more... )

My parents in Birmingham were calling me in San Francisco all day to get updates on what Ivan was doing. Their power is out, and likely will be for several more days, so they had me looking things up online. Aside from a giant tree limb that fell in the driveway and is now blocking it, they have come through unscathed, though my father is cranky ( Read more... )

I had a very ocean-oriented holiday weekend and got out a lot, partly because the weather was so beautiful and partly because when it's this hot, my house is miserable. Sunday, D. and I took the dog to the beach. We tried to go to Linda Mar in Pacifica, but there wasn't any parking, and we ended up driving down the coast almost to Half Moon Bay ( Read more... )

I put on my supercute new Italian cork-heeled sandals to have lunch in the Mission with my friend K. today, little realizing that I would be spending the rest of the afternoon walking the length and breadth of the financial district in them. Now I know that when K. says, "My office is right by the BART station, and there's a notary right around ( Read more... )

I just caught the rerun of "Dead End" on TNT. I love that episode. It's not the best episode ever, but it's got so many good moments: some great glimpses of what makes up Lindsey's life at the beginning of the episode, Lindsey's performance at Caritas (which immediately made me think of asta77), the Angel/Lindsey bickering rivalry, the evil hand speech ( Read more... )
