Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's a British show, into its 5th season in the UK. They've been airing it on A&E in the US as MI-5 (but badly cut to meet the 43-minute window).

It's absolutely killer, with an HSQ like no other show I've ever watched. It's sort of like 24 plus Alias, but smart. This is a really good summary/discussion of the show that isn't too spoilery.

Anyway, season 5 just started up again in the UK and I got the first couple of episodes. So. Freaking. Good. Yoiks!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

A smart Alias? That could be fun. I've heard of MI-5, but haven't watched it.

It's not as crackaddled as Alias -- as the link says, there is no Rambaldi or prophecies. But it's hella suspenseful, with mostly smart, interesting plots involving race and class and terrorism and corporate irresponsibility.

Oh, and guest stars include Anthony Stewart Head and Hugh Laurie. (Jules! Come back! All is forgiven!) Laurie left the show (he was a recurring character) to go be Dr. House, damn him. ::pouts::

ASH and Hugh Laurie? I think that's honestly too much hottness for one show. Dear me.

I think I'm going to do one more check of my front door and try going back to bed. My heart has slowed down some.

Sleep well!

And I'm off to bed as well, I think. G'night, Buffistas!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I would SO much rather have Jools Siviter than Dr. House.

Jools Siviter just simply ruled.

Skipping (I'm tired even of typing that, let alone of doing that all the time) in order to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Sue's birthday. Happy birthday, Sue! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday, Sue!

Nilly, I received your email. The best wishes sent to you for Rosh Hashanah, and always. You have contributed to many happy moments in the last year. I hope both of our schedules are such in the next year that we are able to post together more often.

And with that I am off to transport Brendon to school.

Happy birthday Sue!

I am actually up on time, but that is because I am congested to the nines and feel like my poor skull is going to explode. Making some ROOIBOS! and trying to get to a place where I can get dressed and drive. Tomorrow would be a much better day to take off sick.

Hugh Laurie was even hot in Black Adder. It was hot in a poncy way, but hot nonetheless. (And not a bad set of legs...)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Sue!
