A Whole New Week

[liptonrm_backup]

Well, the world didn't end last week, though it sort of felt like it might. If nothing else the national events of the past week have convinced me that I have to get out there and do something to effect change both in my community and in the nation. I need to volunteer and I am very tempted to run for political office. I just need to do something to change the future that I fear is coming.

However, I took the weekend to recuperate. Shoot, I even called in sick last Thursday and then I spent the weekend watching the Buffy the Vampire Slayer season one dvd set that I recently acquired. Oh my gosh, there is nothing more theraputic then watching BtVS, even though season one was, on the whole, not nearly as good as seasons 2 and 3 were. And, just for the record, I am completely in love with Giles, it was inevitable and if I had been 25 instead of 18 when I had first watched the show I'm sure my adoration would have been cemented back then. I was getting rather possessive, it was kind of cute in a creepy way and included a litany of 'Back off bitch, he's mine!' everytime Jenny Calender came on screen. Hee

And may I just say, for the record, that the Buffy/Angel relationship is extremely boring and I care about it as much as I care about Jack/Kate on Lost, which is to say not at all. Blah blah blah.

I also accomplished much knitting over the weekend and completed the knitting bag that I sewed together from an old Mickey Mouse t-shirt. TV and knitting, the great panacea of all the world's ills.

Like an idiot, I watched a bunch of Party of Five this weekend. Because that'll make anyone suicidal cheer anyone up, right?

You should have incorporated some Zekeage into that agenda.

At least you got some nice Charlie/Jack/Matthew Fox viewing out of it so the depression wasn't a complete waste of time.

And I did incorporate Zeke, in a strange way. One of the BtVS episodes had Clea DuVall in it and she was really young and stuff and I got caught in the Vortex for the whole rest of the evening.

I wasn't helped by the fact that Clea plays a girl who becomes invisible because no one ever pays attention to her and at the end of the episode she's recruited by the Consortium to perform covert ops.

Am planning to mainline on Zekeage tonight, however.

The Vortex is a strange and magical place, yes? Sounds like another Thing That Never Happened in Birthright.

Ah, Giles :)

We both have astounding taste in men. And I did appreciate Giles when I was 18, it just wasn't quite so ... visceral back then. There are some shots that are just like a punch to the gut, but in a good way;-).

Mmmmm Giles. I, too, found Buffy/Angel quite boring except when he was bad. Used to do primal sobbing therapy with the Season 2 finale, though. Joss Whedon gives great angst.
