Had another buffy workout this morning. Biked for a good 20+ minutes to "The Puppet Show", perhaps one of my favorite season 1 episodes. And not just because of the Oedipus scene of the closing credits. I remember watching the episode for the first time and falling for the mislead and being just as surprised as Buffy when Sid turned out to be a demon hunter. Angel really isn't in the first season as much as I thought. After the Angel episode, he sorta disappears. Which makes sense cuz it would be a bit awkward, the whole "sorry I thought you killed my mom" thing.

I downloaded "unofficial" (read "illegal") soundtrack mixes for Dead Like Me, Buffy, and Scrubs off of supernova.org. OH and GET THIS - according to a post on

whedonesque today, the Angel soundtrack will not be released in the States! A big WTF to the record label. WHY THE HELL NOT? *sigh* thank god for Amazon UK.

Watched the first half of "Bargaining" (the season six Buffy premiere) with the commentary on. Marti Noxon and David Fury have far too much fun, but they also clear up a few things about the darkness of season 6. Honestly, I was worried about watching any of it again because I know it's such a rough season. But re-watching Bargaining didn't feel too bad. And listening to them talk about Joss' plans for the season and stuff made me feel better. At least he knew what he was doing with his characters. (*cough*chriscarter*cough*lucas*cough*) Perhaps thats why I was able to stay with Buffy thru season 7, even though the stories were very dark and depressing at time, it still seemed to work for me. It wasn't like X Files where it became painfully obvious that they were just bowing to the will of the fans (ugh, sorry shippers, M&S was a BAD idea).

Okay, I'll stop now.

maybemanda stopped by the mall today while I was working at just the moment they were letting me go home, so we got to hang out and chat for a bit (and I got credit for a pair of pants she bought! bwahaha!). Now if we can just find a day that we are both free so we can hang out for more than 30 minutes.

Maine next week! Yay!

I was going to try to make a song set for The Whitlams album "Torch the Moon", just an icon for each track. But I got the first two tracks done (cries too hard, falls for you) and realized there was no way it would happen since "Gone Surfing" would be impossible...as would "start my cellar again". So I'll just stick with the two I made. I was playing with brushes and textures, just trying to see how pretty I can make them before they just become a big mess. I also made a bunch of Fray icons, though they are just the same pic with different words. Oh, and I FINALLY figured out how to move the text around. Took me forever. The "Amidala" icon is the fruit of my labor. Check it out!
