(no subject)

So in adventures with parcels, let me take you back to last Wednesday.

I had to leave work early as I was feeling really manky, thanks to a combo of aching joints and sore gums. YAAAAY. As you may recall, I'd also had a failed delivery of my Art Stuff™

Anyway, I go home, and am ow made flesh. There is a delivery note saying they'll try again Thursday. This is fine by me, as I will be in all day.

Spoilers: they did not come. ( Read more... )

Oooh, also, I bought a pair of Skechers in a sale for £20! They are comfy, and I hope they remain so for a long time. Also I'm amused that I'm an artist and I own Skechers, because I am a huge dork.

I feel I need to note that the episode of Buffy that I saw before I got stupid ill was Killed By Death, AKA That Episode Where Buffy Has The Flu.

I mean, I should've known, right?

I don't feel like I have much of anything to say about anything. Season Two feels very familiar to me (probably because it's the one I've seen the most). I don't buy Buffy and Angel's relationship, even though it's way more coherent/believable than Phoebe and Cole's in Charmed. There's not enough of it really shown on-screen and anyway I don't ship it? and I don't know now if I ever did, way back when.

Xander is really annoying (no surprise), and the more I pick apart his character, and things he says, the more I dislike him. Also yeah yeah he's the loser or whatever, but ends up dating Cordelia? Has his best friend be in love with him? Happens to be friends with the Slayer? OKAY THEN.
(I'm sorry; some of this is misdirected anger at Joss Whedon because aside from Xander being annoying, he's Whedon's author avatar and that makes things a whole pile of gross from where I'm standing).
And I hate all the passive-aggressive stuff he says (and it's A LOT) that's meant to be under the guise of, "well I'm your friend and I care about you!" I suppose teenagers are like that, but this just flat out bugs me.

Jonathan qualifies as a better example of a loser nobody likes or cares about.

*inhale*
*exhale*

I'm two episodes into Season Three right now. I did start watching Faith, Hope, and Trick, but I had to switch it off because I was too ill to concentrate on it. I'll probably start it again from the beginning once I feel well enough to watch some more.
