I was online, browsing for Tarot cards - specifically for good images of The Magician. I was amused to find the Buffy Tarot deckYeah, I know, there's every sort of Tarot deck you can imagine. I myself have concocted (in my imagination) a Lymond deck and a Torchwood deck. In which, of course, the Doctor is the Magician and Captain Jack is the ( Read more... )

abrakadabrah sent me a link to this blog in which Joss Whedon says what he feels (sort of) about a remake of Buffy the Vampire Slayer being done without his participation. I have to admit I flinched when he implied Buffy was "a childhood favourite". Made me feel old ( Read more... )

On Saturday afternoon, James Marsters appeared at FanExpo 2010 in Toronto, at the Convention Centre. The room was packed full and the panel started early - it's the first con I've been to where things often started five to ten minutes before the scheduled time.

Visited maaseru this morning and we watched the final three episodes of Fringe season 2, so now I'm up to date. Loved the way the season ended. Can hardly wait for season 3.

Then we watched the second half of episode 15 ("Jacksonville") because maaseru hadn't seen it.

lunacy_gal came over and we watched Fringe episode 1, and then Inspector Lewis "Allegory of Love ( Read more... )

I spent most of the day dozing in front of the television and watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season 6.  I watched "Once More With Feeling" twice - once alone and once with

explodedteabag invited me, maaseru and lunacy_gal over to watch Supernatural today. lunacy_gal seemed to enjoy it, and to appreciate the slashiness, and she borrowed some of explodedteabag's DVDs for some happy catch-up watching. We showed her:

• "Lazarus Rising" 4x01
  
• "On the Head of a Pin" 4x16
  
• "The Monster at the End of the This Book" 4x18
  
• "When the Levee Breaks" 4x21
  
• "Lucifer Rising" 4x22 ( ( Read more... )

Went for a long walk with Lisa at lunchtime. Then went to the Silver Snail and picked up all the comics on subscription that came in while I was away.... Rather a lot of them. Did I really subscribe to that much?

Ran into explodedteabag with her father on Bank Street.

Came home and read comics.

Watched Buffy episode "Intervention". Oh, Spike. He makes me ( Read more... )

Doesn't everyone fantasize about living in palaces and castles?

This is not that. It is even better. I am living in Beckford's Tower in - or rather, above - Bath. Decorated in Regency style, but with all the mod cons - except net access. Funny how William Beckford in 1822 didn't think to have that included in his splendours. (I am writing this ( Read more... )

Castle of the day: I have a few choices. Well, I could say "The Virgins and Castle", which is the pub (est. 1777) where we had supper. Delicious roast duck with mashed potatoes, fresh peas and carrots, and a green salad with tomatoes and cucumber.

Or I could cite the castle in Sunnydale California that I saw in the Buffy episode "Buffy vs. ( Read more... )
