I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

The month is almost over so I guess I should pop in before it's too late. I'm not a lurker, just a longtime Buffista who goes through extended periods of near-, sometimes total-silence. The phenomenon is not new. Perhaps going to a college almost entirely centered around discussion (at the time we had one required paper per year; I took two tests in four years, both pass/fail & which we were required to take as many times as needed to pass. Passed both on first attempt.) was a mistake. But I met a lot of great people, & it led to my marriage and career, so as far as mistakes go it was a good one.

I started posting on Table Talk when the monthly book group was reading Absalom, Absalom! The guy leading the discussion thought I was putting too much emphasis on race in the novel. Ten years later I still don't know what he was talking about. Anyway, I migrated over to the Buffy thread. (I don't think there was a separate Angel discussion.)

During the second season of Angel I noted the resemblance of Lorne, known to us at the time (and the way I still think of him) as GGG, the Gay Green Guy, to Losers' Lounge singer Sean Altman. It turned out that a few other posters were Losers' Lounge fans & eventually we went to the Roxy Music LL. I think that was the first F2F. msbelle was there, along with Misha, & Martha C. There were a couple others, too. Jesse, I think. A couple weeks later we had the first episode-centered get-together at Fiona's.

My big news is that we adopted a baby this summer: Thelonious Sorel Boucher. (Cf. my bio in the David Smay-edited Lost In The Grooves. It's searchable so you can see it on Amazon, but you should buy the book.) And the punchline, spoiler-fonted for dramatic effect: the birthmother named him Angelus. Not a complete coincidence. My wife mentioned my love of Buffy & Angel & my Buffista friendships in our profile, and birthmom is also a fan.

A belated congrats to Nilly & her very, very lucky husband. I'm sure there are other belated congrats & condolences to send out but I should probably get back to work.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Joe, that is one beautiful little dude you have there!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Joe! Long time no post! And congrats on the absolutely adorable kid!
