Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

Buffy ,'Beneath You'


Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I can’t help but think that crack he made about “I don’t have anything else to do, might as well work on myself” is extremely accurate

What is even happening?

Well, he's got plenty of work to do, but I think that interview shows he's not up for the job. A friend and I were talking, and we kind of think Joss is a narcissist and a sociopath.

The "bad actor" b.s. he spewed about Ray Fisher was downright Trumpian. Then there was the appalling story about sending the 22-year-old freelancer he was bedding off for drinks with a "friend" who ended up being his girlfriend, not to mention breaking up with Arden Leigh, the night before her birthday, even though she'd previously told him a birthday breakup was among her most painful memories.

I mean, did he collect stories in advance, so he wouldn't have to come up with humiliations all on his own?

What I was trying to express but not using enough words to really do so, I think, is that he’s not actually doing the work. If he is an addict he isn’t in recovery.

This was really clear to me last night as I was falling asleep but harder to pin down this morning, but the thing I keep coming back to is how very banal his evil is, how much like every other guy like that he has turned out to be, practically a cliche. Not even an interesting villain.

That was how I read you, -t. I'm sorry my response reads like it wasn't. I should have used a "Yup" and an "and," rather than a "Well," and a "but."

It is so banal. His villainy is of the season 6 variety.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

He's no Mayor Wilkins, that's for sure.

Does anyone else miss Mayor Wilkins - I just want to be a big snake.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yes, frequently in recent years.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I've been having increasing trouble with (lack of) attention span. Several times this week I've caught myself thinking, and even saying aloud, "Bored now."

Thank goodness my mic was muted.

Try to resist going full on evil.
