Spike ,'Smile Time'
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.
That's what I was going to say, flea. The scary parts probably won't be too scary, but when you get to the Angel/Buffy stuff, that metaphor is going to be tricky to explain well to a nine-year-old.
I've let Sara watch some, but just hand-picked episodes, like Hush or Fear, Itself, with me.
What they said: I think most of Season 1 would be OK, but much of S2-7 is gonna depend on the individual kid. Me, I was reading really adult material and would have be fine at 9, but I was a mutant.
Hello, good morning, have a fun trip, sarameg!
And Liese, I think that's an awesome thing to do. Appropriate and shameful it got buried and almost no press.
I tried to get my then-17-yo niece into Buffy. She was too scared to watch more than a couple of S1 episodes! Sheesh.
Apparently some women are interested in not shaving for November. Men are displeased.
Huh. Contrary to what I was told at work, there is at least a fundraising aspect to Movember. And of course there are college douchebags who don't like the idea of women with hairy legs. What a surprise.
I thought Movember was specifically about prostate cancer, rather than men's health generally. To me that's a lot less irksome.
Timelies all!
Mailed a gift to a friend, and bought a new printer.(Old one stopped working a while back)I think I've accomplished enough for today.
Man, look what Days has been getting up to since I last looked: [link]
Girl Scout troop almost started.
Kat - I'm in my 3rd year of leading and 10th as a scout. If you need anything, please let me know. I assume you're doing Daisies?
Bon voyage, sarameg! Have fun!
Fire powered cellphone chargers.
Brilliant.
Our alarm clock automatically adjusts itself to time changes, but (and smonster can attest to this) IT DOES IT ON SATURDAY MORNING instead of Sunday morning. Happily, we aren't planning on taking a trip overseas today, as we were last year when we discovered this, but still, it's perplexing. And annoying.
Other than that, I have been super awesomely productive and in a cheery mood today! Got up, got laundry going, got the cat's water dish and the britta pitcher in the dishwasher, deposited some checks at the bank, went to the new meat market/locally sourced butcher and got our meat for the week, got cat litter, skritched kitties at PetCo, and am planning to head over to the Mirliton Festival a little later this afternoon.
We had a nice date night last night, which I think set the weekend up on a nice note. It was low key so it didn't take a lot of energy to go and do, but it was fun.
Tomorrow I am going to a schmancy champagne brunch for the krewe I'm on the waiting list for (Nyx), but am kind of a part of.
