Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Just finished S1 of Slings and Arrows. Ok. So you really weren't lying. On the one hand, I can't imagine S2, because S1 is perfect. On the other hand, I want more NOW!!

I'm kind of scared to like this show this much. I know it has made it to S2, but now that I've discovered it, cancellation cannot be far behind.

There's a third season, I think, and that's it.

Well, I should be happy for three. And, as I said, S1 really does feel complete, even though I want to see more of these people.

eta: Thanks Hec, and everyone else who recommended this. Just outstanding.

Our wings are not tired

Anyone around? I'm bored stiff sitting in a rehearsal.

move out and draw fire

Yeah, we watched the fourth episode last night, and Robert started having nitpicks, which means he loves the show very much indeed. Then he spent about 20 minutes trying to find a Slings and Arrows webpage or fansite or anything.

I'm loving it just as much on rewatch, although the disappearance of Geoffrey's Theater Sans Argent crew is making me even sadder.

It just gets better on rewatch.

Season 2 is a whole different critter, but it's also wonderful. Lot of new characters, which I wasn't happy about on first watch, but came to appreciate on re-viewings. They do the Scottish Play.

You'll like the stage manager's rant about actors.

I don't know if Nicole realizes that she was in the drag king epicenter of San Francisco. She was very aggrieved to hear somebody exclaim as he walked by her, "Oh that is so precious! She is so cute."

Aww! When she's 18 she should come visit me, and then I can take her to our one club. I would totally be the person going "awww! so cute!"

I have been to the gay cowboy bar two nights in a row. That's just wrong. (Though tonight, I only went to the upstairs karaoke part, which is not particularily cowboyesque).

I also found out a friend of mine has slept with more than 50 people--he doesn't remember how many. I'm both impressed and taken aback. I feel sorta sad, like surely you should remember all the people you sleep with. OTOH, I'm sure some people feel that about the people you make out with, and god knows I couldn't begin to count them...

The status is NOT quo.

Hi all! I'm sitting out on the neighbors' patio after having toodled around in their pool with bestest friend A in the moonlight. Now bestest friend, her DH, and one of our cool neighbors are talking about money and conscience and spirituality while jamming on two guitars. It is a very good night.
