Bleep My Hat

The fact that I can change my mind so completely sometimes gives me hope. I'm hoping it will happen so that I can get into Roswell. I don't think I will change my mind about the CLIENTELE though unless they start to wear more CAPES.

I think there are some things I could not POSSIBLY change my mind on. For example, I remember watching DIGIMON once and it was wierd and not that bad but I could still never like it.

Me too on the olives front. Converted only after many years of persuasion. I also fear that my fortifications against Harry Potter books are about to give way.

shagging.

getting stoned.

don't need no more.

Hemhem the tastes of RickyT and I are WITHOUT A DOUBT merging to create an evil lentil loving BUFFY FAN. Fall before Buffy, boy!!! Well no actually don't as that would be a wierd submissive to Sarah Michelle Gellar thing which is not allowed. Willow had a Kogepan toy OOOOOOOO I want one. But I want her hair and dress sense to radically improve first.

PLEASE tell me she's chasing them down Jack-Nickelson-in-"Wolf"-style and tearing out their throats with a well-placed bite. That would make "Buffy" the best show EVER.

I discovered a couple of years ago that olives are yummy. This coincided with start of an obsession with gin martinis that continues to this day. I've also learned that squash, when prepared by my wife in the form of a casserole, isn't completely unbearable.

I also tried watching sex and the city ("in" the city?). ho hum, usual smart aleck stuff. Now "Teachers" -- ha!

It was better than that! I would describe but fear I would be wrecking it for those who haven't seen it yet.

To stay slightly on-topic: I used to hate ketchup, but am coming round to liking it a little.

Tomatoes, when first encountered when young, were horrible to my budding tastes, though I liked ketchup. I have since seen the folly of my ways, denounced ketchup as the creation of Satan, and prefer tomatoes with the right bite to them instead of sugary gloop.

But also remember that every ep where it ends with hugs w.Dawn and we wipe away a tear, we have been tricked into forgetting that Dawn = NOT REAL.

So I don't buy the vamp-in-the-morgue merely as a sop to the lumpen wing of the Buf fan massive — ur hullo does ANYONE watch it just for the dustings? We are the fans: the fans is us, and what we do-want is what Buf fans do-what. But yes it was somewhat perfunctory: nevertheless as backdrop to Dawn steeling herself to look at mom's lain-out body — mere rubber bogeyman scarings vs the real thing — it made some of its points. Also Buf as usual not able to be at Dawn's side when it matters...

I assume Tara's suddenly emergent "spine" is a matter of some incident in her still untold backstory.

Should this sentence be making me laugh? Do I have my witometer set on a hair trigger?

No I don't think that was the case with Kendra - if I believe correctly, where Kendra came from the whole culture knew the story and legend of the Slayer. Kendra alwas knew her calling and had been trained 'perfectly' - yet she was still killed. Spike said, in the episode where he tells Buffy how he had killed the other Slayers, that the Slayers end up SEEKING death - that Kendra, despite not having to such a great extent the issues that Buffy has, of dividing life vs Slaying, was not a 'better' Slayer.

But also remember that every ep where it ends with hugs w.Dawn and we wipe away a tear, we have been tricked into forgetting that Dawn = NOT REAL.

To what extent is she not real though? They say the monks put the key in human form = she IS human although made by The Powers That Be, but she CONTAINS the energy rather than BEING the energy in a certain shape/colour whatever...

I assume Tara's suddenly emergent "spine" is a matter of some incident in her still untold backstory.

I think also the fact that Tara actually follows/tries to follow the religion of Wicca (has she made reference to 3x3 before..? May be making that one up) and has checks and morals about her use of magic, whereas Willow has always been a bit more free form. (Willow in past had Judaism as a religion and strong family background to it whereas Tara had family who told her she was a demon therefore finds her religion in Wicca for herself?) Tara was always the one that spoke first to Dawn when she was searching their help whereas Willow looked *curious* and unconvincingly tried to echo Tara.

I miss her.

(Episode with her = best ever) (or best of that series at least)

My parents are spreading a nasty rumor amongst relatives that I liked peaches when I was a kid ... surely it's not true for I have hated peaches for as long as I can remember!
