Or maybe I dreamed about the shirt, and then you were wearing it. It's really all you did.

This is the kind of tiny cameo appearance that Buffistas have make in my dreams. They never say anything (just as well, because I only know what DavidS and Allyson sound like, from their radio appearences), they're just connected to other things in the dreams. There was one dream where I noticed ita in a sidewalk café in Denmark reading a novel by Nella Larsen, with this picture on the back cover, [link] . I think that the book was there because Nella Larsen's mother was Danish, and posters with this picture were advertising a Nella Larsen retropsective the last time I was there. I suppose that ita was reading the book because Nella Larsen's father was West Indian. I never got to talk to ita in the dream. She was just one of fifty people at the cafe.

The other Buffista appearance was after pictures were posted from the LA F2F, including one of Madrigal cavorting with a cardboard cutout of Lorne and the famous picture of Shrift that was mentioned here recently. Soon after, I had a dream where I was in a crowed sports bar watching a basketball game when Lorne came in with Madrigal on one arm and Shrift on the other. It was a good strategy on his part because, with a spectacular babe on each arm, no one seemed to notice his unusual appearance. Actually, even to me he didn't look much like Lorne, I just knew that he was.

It may surprise you to know this, but Lorne turns out to be a major fan of Big Ten basketball. He was very knowledgeable, but he was, unfortunately, a Michigan fan, and he got to be pretty tiresome about it, as is the habit of Michigan fans everywhere. I never did get a chance to talk to Madrigal or Shrift, but I did steal the occasional glance at them while Lorne prattled on about the Maize and Blue.

Hec, are you a fan of those "women in prison" movies?

WiPs? Hell, yeah!

Good dream, Rick. We should all dream of being squired around by Madrigal and Shrift. That's a lot of snark to go with the babe-liness.

after someone(Allyson maybe?) mentioned that Lindsay's house on the OC looked like Buffy's house, i went looking for screencaps. i don't think it's the same place.

Lindsay's House

now...can someone send some motivation my way? i've got to get started on cleaning this room!

Make it hockey and I'm there!

Oh, wait, we're not getting hockey.

I am amused by the green guy going blue. Had I been out with a guy prattling on about U of M, I probably would have started singing the MSU fight song in self-defense.

Dueling fight songs. Did that at a piano bar once. There were Kamikaze shots served in test tubes.

nice work, tiggy! Yep, not quite the same, but surprisingly close. Who knew that there is such similar architecture in Sunnydale and Newport?

Hi all!

We just discovered we have way more presents for older niece than we do for younger niece, who is 4. Any hive mind suggestions for last minute gifts?

Okay, so I learnt things (among which -- I want dream!shrift's shirt). People do buy their wives (it was always given this way round as an example, except for one parent->daughter) luxury cars for Christmas. December is the year with highest luxury car sales.

Also, that Whittaker guy who won the lottery has had a lousy time of it, but that lousy time includes repeatedly being robbed of thousands in cash.

Dude. Come on.

when we were driving around LA for the sites tour that year, it was amazing how similar all of the houses looked. it's definitely a popular style in that area. does the OC actually film in Orange County?

does the OC actually film in Orange County?

Nah. LA County.

tiggy, no. Manhattan Beach and Palos Verdes.

But the faux craftsman is a common look, especially in the upper-end yet-still-older, not-in-a-gated-community houses.
