Twenty Ten

Hey everyone!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'm being more involved with life this year. Doing stuff. Interacting.

But probably not today, because the Logo channel is airing a Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathon and I doubt I'll move from in front of the television. Ah, nostalgia!

Aw. Every now and again, I re-watch my Buffy DVDs, and realise with horror how bad late 90s fashions now look.

Our TV is showing wide volumes of shit. Loads of 'best of the decade' programmes, including a clip from Britain's Got Talent where dogs jump through flaming hoops, and the frightening fact that Top Gear is the British public's favourite television programme. :(

And 90s makeup is so heavy and brown. Rewatching Buffy, I wasn't as interested or impressed by it, and don't really share the love for it that I used to. However, Buffy fandom introduced me to so many fabulous people, so I'll always love it for that, if nothing else.

Top Gear is Britain's favorite (sorry, I mean favourite) program (I mean programme)? That seems like such a dad show. Do people other than dads watch it?

Buffy will always have a special place in my heart, too. I still think that at its best, it's awesome television, but there are plenty of episodes that just don't stand up to repeat viewing, like that awful one where Willow has that computer boyfriend. (And in hindsight, it really annoys me how they treated Willow's sexuality. TV is crying out for a believable bisexual character. And it annoys me how frumpy and round they made Amber Benson look, when she's stunning.)

Oh, they do. The guys presenting it are actually sex symbols among a good proportion of twentysomething women.

Buffy Marathon OMG YAY! I'm watching Angel season 2 today, because I got it for Christmas and it's the one Buffy/Angel thing I've never seen before.

Completely off-topic, but years ago, you sent me a Christmas card with Cthulhu holding a terrified Santa Claus. I tape it up every single year, and it's not Christmas until He rises from storage. :D

Aw! Thank you! That makes me feel all glowy inside. :D Would you be able to take a picture of the card for me? I don't think I kept the file of it. I'm so happy that card still gets to be part of Christmas. :D

Happy new year! I'm glad to know about this other journal of yours.. my Flist has been devoid of Abby for too long!

So I opened up the entertainment section of the paper this morning and saw

blah blah blah blah blah CORNER LAUGHERS blah blah.

I was like, *SPAZ* I KNOW THEM.

Awesome! And yes, we are playing at Old Ironsides in Sac tomorrow night! If you made it out I would put you on the guest list... :)

[shesaspiral]

I will certainly be there!
