The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture
So, yeah let's see right now I'm listening to Rob Zombie "Living Dead Girl", this song will always remind me of Faith from BtVS. I think they played it for a scene where she was dancing in a club in L.A. on Season 1 of Angel. It really does suit her well.
That's something i absolutely adore about Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. They use music so well, especially Buffy. BtVS uses music so much, it's almost like another character in the show. It too has evolved from not so great to fantastic mostly unknown or lesser known stuff that just blows your mind with its relevancy to the actual situation going on in the episode or with the character in that particular scene. There are so many instances where i just have gone, "Oh my god, i never realized it but that song fits so perfectly with whats going on right now, its like an extra bit of character analysis. I absolutely love it and thats one of the things i want to eventually get around to posting about.
Anyway the title of this post comes from the Season 2 ep of Buffy "Reptile Boy" and it's something Giles tells Buffy at the end of the ep after she's nearly been eaten by a giant snake demon called Machida while at a frat party with Cordy. She told a lie to Giles so she could go to the party and of course it was a "Buffy party" and she nearly got killed. So Giles tells her that afterwards and I love that.
I chose it because i wanted to try and get a Livejournal account and maybe use that as my blogging command central but man was it stupid. I mean it just wasnt nearly as satisfying as i thought it would be ya know?
First of all i had to do this stupid age verification thing becasue apparently someone under the age of 13 had used our computer to create a livejournal account, which is total bullshit, I'm the only one who's ever even been to that site and hello, so not under 13. So that was annoying and then the layouts and color choices were shit and there are advertisements to the side on your blog page which totally bites and takes out some of the personal feeling of it. In order to be free of advertisements, you either have to get the basic account which has crap to offer or get the paid account which is only like 2 bucks but still what a hassle and 2 dollars is a song or two on iTunes, thanks but no thanks. I just decided i much prefer this site and I really like what i've been able to do on my own, so as far as my brave venture out into the world of livejournal "The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture."
I will be happy with what I have for right now. Besides I now have created the account and have the name and url so if i decide i want to post to a community or comment on something which is why i really wanted an lj account in the first place, now i can.
On other fronts, i should totally be in bed right now, i have to be up at 8:30 a.m. because i have to be at work at 9:30 a.m. ugh, i hate Monday nights and Tuesday mornings. I despise getting up early almost more than anything else. But then I do get to get out of work at 2:30 p.m. which is cool cuz then i have the rest of the day free and i dont go to work on Wednesdays till 4:30 p.m. and sometimes 5p.m., so its all good. But i stay up to late and sleep to long so I'm not tired when i should be and then im tired on Tuesday morning.
Today my dad cleaned the carpets and so today all day walking around was disgusting, because the carpets were all damp and cold. I hate that. It was like no place was safe and i had to keep my feet up so they didn't freeze off.
Oh yeah, one of the two Buffy books i'm expecting arrived today! It was "The Watcher's Guide Volume 1" and i am so excited. It seems really great and has all these quotes, I'm a sucker for quotes, and interviews and just little tidbits and stuff. It's awesome. The next book "The Watcher's Guide Volume 2" should arrive shortly. Then I'll have more books to order lol.
William is doing great. Today a couple of times he actually went like a little crazy and was running around clawing at imaginary things on the wall and attacking a towel that was on the floor. It was adorable because prior to this, he has not really been a very crazy, active cat. He is the sweetest little thing though, i adore him. Sometime I'll have to post about all my pets that i have loved and think about often. I'm a nerd but i make no apologies for it, i love my animals.
Oh yeah, last night i watched two episodes of Buffy both from Season 2. First i watched "What's My Line Pt. 2" because i felt like seeing Spike and that was an episode with lots of Spike in it for a Season 2 ep, aside from "School Hard" which i had just recently watched. I love the end scene where Drusilla's health is all restored and Spike is now the one who's hurt and she just lifts him up so easily and carries him off. It's so romantic in a gothic-y sort of way, and its suits Spike so perfectly, him being in the role of the woman, submissive and carried out. I love it. Then i watched "Becoming Pt. 2" which is fan-freakin-tastic, lots of Spike and Dru, the wicked awesome Angelus and just so much stuff. I love all the scenes between Spike, Buffy and Joyce, like this scene:
Spike: What, your mum doesn't know?
Buffy glares at Spike.
Joyce: (to Spike) Know what?
Buffy: (faces her mom) That I'm, uh... in a band. A-a rock band with
Spike here. (shoots Spike a look)
Spike: Right. She plays the, the triangle.
Buffy: Drums.
Spike: Drums, yeah. She's, uh, hell on the old skins, you know.
Joyce: (unconvinced) Hmm. And, uh, what do you do?
Spike: Well, I sing.
Lol, i freakin love the scene, all of their faces and expressions are fantastic. I got that from the site Buffyworld.com btw, its an awesome site because like i said im a sucker for quotes and when i cant remember a certain quote I'll go there and find the transcript and all is well again.
Also, today i made a book called "Willow's Great Escape" (i told you im obsessed lol)about a mouse who is very brave and has to save her brother, William (named after William/Spike from BtVS and our new kitty by proxy) who's in a mouse trap and she gets help from a cat named Lola (Lola was my last kitty who i loved and still do so very very much I really will have to post about them all) and then all is well at the end. I made it for the kids i take care of because something that one of them said today inspired me for some reason and so voila there it is. It's pretty cute if i do say so myself, certainly not published and bestseller worthy but still cute.
Anyway i suppose thats all for tonight. I shall go to bed and wake up far too tired. "Wish me monsters". Night.
