...and at any rate surely someone must have noticed before me. But isn't it interesting how, in BtVS 3.01, "Anne", whose peculiar Hell seems drawn straight from nineteenth-century socialist propaganda picture about the miseries of the proletariat, Buffy fighs and defeats the oppressive demons while welding a hammer and something that looks very ( Read more... )

Well, here it is. Egotist time: my own space to write whatever I want.

Except I have a dull life, save for the things I read and write.

So what I will do from now on is post, every day, a piece of writing from my past and see what happens. Probably nobody will notice.
