Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I think it's here.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Another workforce reduction. I still have a job but three of my sales people are gone. This sucks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was watching Buffy when I heard the news.

So I was already having a very Buffista-coded week before seeing the Nick Brendon news. So I figured I might as well go ahead and share. (Some pics on the FB group)
Sadly, no actual Buffistas were involved, although if I go back a few more days I can count it from last Sunday when I got to go see Holiday at the Goodman Theatre, courtesy of aurelia. (TY! and that was not long after she and I were at the same show at the Chicago Theatre, but didn’t realize it until she was already on the way home). You know I could tell from the marketing it was a period piece romcom/farce from the marketing so I was intrigued and yet it never occurred to me that it was actually the same play as the movie Holiday. I’ll just say it’s been a long winter 😆 and I was not entirely braining. Such a good show.
Buuuut On Tuesday, one of my sister‘s friends arranged tix to a one-man show, Buffy Revamped With a single actor in the character of Spike retelling all seven seasons of Buffy in 70 minutes.
And it was HI-larious. His accent was pretty Australian, but once he started doing all the characters with extremely minor costume, additions, mostly wigs and hats, it was fantastic. And uber sarcastic. And very, very on the money. (Every time Angel was mentioned a little clip from the Angel theme would play while Spike rolled his eyes. . His costume for Angel was a long leather coat on a hanger.) As soon as we got home, we had to watch Once More with Feeling even though it was way too late on a school night
It had a lot of risk of being watchfrom the hall, but did not play out that way at all. If it comes around, definitely go see it.
Tonight was the first night of a book club (I Who Have Never Known Men, anyone read it?) The book club was great, but the venue - Amazeballs. It’s a little bar/used bookstore/gallery/gaming room. [link] Just awesome. And it’s pretty close to me, I will definitely be back there
