the LJ link Una posted is one i saw back when i first read the twilight books (and yes, i read them all. not like they were heavy reading or took a long time...) and is HYSTERICAL. Sparkle-peen, she gets it.
All this discussion is making me very happy that buffy S1 is free on hulu basic right now. i really need to get my sister to give me back my series dvds. Curse my good-heartedness in having the chose edition shipped directly to her so she could watch something decent while dealing with the horrors of being 15...gosh darn it, i want my Buffy and haven't even touched the box myself!
Angel Investigations getting blown up
Guys, last night, in the car on the way home, I heard Queen's "We Are the Champions," and I realized that after all this time, I *still* immediately think of Wes, Gunn, and Cordy singing it, every single time I hear it. Every. Time.

Of course. I assumed that this was normal.
For some extrapolative reason, all Queen is a Highlander trigger for me. It's a bit cumbersome.
but if someone you're responsible for thinks the Edward/Bella relationship is a template for normal or optimal behaviour, I think having an in depth discussion with them about it isn't out of line.
I think having an in depth discussion with your kids about the books they read (or the music they listen to, the way they want to dress, etc) is showing respect for their choices. As long as you don't call it crap.

I don't have any opinion on how the books were written, since I haven't read them. That's never been my point. However, the relationship that's exalted in the story, I do have more of an opinion on, now that I've seen some of it in action.
And *that's* what I'm talking about. Not "read better books" but "imprint on healthier interaction". It's a whole different thing.
Well, ita ! As of now, Mark actually
is
living the dream. Mark Reads/Watches is his full-time job. And ooh! That means that he will be watching Angel for the site, interspersed with Buffy.
Power to him. That's a big and exciting jump, and a dream for so many of us in one form or another.
I've often idly wished I could make a living by watching tv and reading books and talking about them, but I didn't think it was possible. Good on ya, Mark.
Did anyone else read Mark's Watch of Ted?
