I think that was like, the best Buffy episode in ages. Since um... the Anya origin episode? I dunno. Jane Espenson has her finger on the pulse, I tell you.

Afterwards I attempted to watch The Fountainhead but it was just too painful. The simple caricatures of people were that much worse on the 1949 Silver Screen. I was laughing my ass off the entire hour I could stand it.

And then LJ was down and I was down, so I conned Steve into going out. We just went to one of those bars we rarely go to, because we're bar snobs, and the Ballroom makes the Contour look classy, but there actually were at least two people worth hitting on (each, not total). Unfortunately we had neglected to shower before going out, so we just stayed still, moping and drinking. I proposed a few evil plans but of course they weren't going to happen. I'm not sure if it's because we're not really evil, or because we're really lazy.

I haven't seen a single buffy ep. this year. I'm such a loser.

the story of how my sister got the season 3 boxed set for her boyfriend:

she (my sister) had done a favor for Sarah M. Gellar's agent. she got some of her other clients into an event or something. dunno. so my sister then calls her up and tells her as a return favor she wants a copy of season three by christmas, which is a couple weeks before they were released. SMG's agent then calls up FOX and says "sarah wants a copy of Season 3 by Christmas." and like magic, a copy appears. agent-lady then calls my sister and leaves a cryptic message on her voicemail. 'I left that thing you wanted on your desk chair at the office.' she knew my sister wanted it for her bfriend so she was getting into that whole clandestine thing. so then my sister announces 'Viggo left me my christmas present on my desk, so I'm going to go into work and get it. This makes's her b-friend suspicious since she was so sick, (from Renee's Christmas party), but she and I go to her work to get the stuff and then sneak it past him and wrap it up. Christmas morning he was so shocked, but he mainly wanted to hear how she got it. "I want to know what kind of pull you have in Hollywood." ha ha. he then spent the next few days going through the DVDs glorying in the fact that he had them a couple weeks early and that my sister got them directly from SMG's agent.

Really? It ended up being a good episode in the end, but the camera thing pissed me off to no end. Freaking annoying.

That was definitely one of my favotires this year. There were little things I could nit-pick about, but at least it had a sense of humour, which has always been the best Buffy method for glossing over occasional stupidness. And that part where Andrew wandered off during Buffy's speech, that was gold. Those Buffy speeches literally made me want to rip my own heart out and run to california to shove it down SMG's throat and then laugh as I fell to her feet, spewing blood from my chest wound.

I thought last week's was pretty decent too. Maybe this season will actually come together for a grand finale. When all's said and done, I bet season 6+7 could each be halved and made into a pretty good single season. Too bad Buffy doesn't run like an HBO show, because it was definitely succumbing to it's own girth for a couple months there.

I picked up Angel season 1 and I'm only halfway through it, but it's just as mediocre as I remember. Of the first 12, only the Doyle death episode was legitimately cool. It's really amazing how these people manage to snatch cool shows from the jaws of crap.

Hm, I dunno, I really liked the first few episodes pre-Doyle's death. I mean they were just all stand-alone eps and it clearly hadn't gotten its groove on, but I mean, Doyle! He's dead for real now. Shit.

Yeah, Doyle was fucking gold. Like when he and Angel learn that "Little Tony" is gonna kill detective Kate.

Thug: So L.T. says 'We're gonna take care of that bitch'.

Angel: You know what that means?

Doyle: I think it means "Little Tony", yeah?

Oh yeah, and The Fountainhead... that's the worst movie I've ever seen. I mean, there are plenty of bad movies out there, but to take something great and suckify it so much, that just adds extra negative points that are otherwise unattainable. Whenever somebody in a movie or show gives a sudden, inappropriate explanation about their life story, we call it "The Fountainhead Syndrome". Damn that movie was bad.
