The Real Life of Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Started new job. Some pros, some cons... the biggest con being the low-wall cubicles we sit in, so everyone can see me pick my nose and try to sneak on to fandom sites. Trying to keep both down to a minimum now. The pro is that I should be able to fix my laptop soon, so I may be able to read/write more.
It's not just the job/commute/lack of access that's been getting between me and my fandom, however. In the last month I've marathoned my way through to the middle of Season 7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which aired during the years of my life that I didn't own a television, and all I have to say is that I will never make that mistake again. That said, Whedon definitely has a formula, doesn't he? Mix one River Buffy toting an ax with one Xander Walsh rocking yet another Hawai'ian shirt with one Kaylee Willow baby-talking her way through the series with one Giles Shepherd Book guiding everyone with his wisdom and at least one woman mixed up in some kind of system of prostitution; toss in a huge piece of wood hurtling through a windshield to stab someone in the chest, a government conspiracy, and a duster, and you pretty much have your next Whedon show. Which is to say -- why isn't another one out already?!?
