If you haven’t seen Love Hard, from about 3 or 4 years ago, it’s solidly on our annual must watch list. Not least for possibly the funniest Baby It’s Cold Outside rendition.
Lydia: But you are a vampire. Spike: If I'm not, I'm gonna be pissed about drinking all that blood.

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
More than half a year ago my desktop crashed and I lost a lot of media on it.
But recently I was able to have a data recovery guy go in and retrieve much of it, though it's all out of order. However, I'm sharing this with you because for some reason I downloaded WorldCrossing Buffy Thread 10, which was when Buffy was brought back from the dead.
So I'm just reading it and, dang, we're a talky bunch! ita and I are having a very long back and forth about the ethics of Willow's act of resurrection, and Victor's chiming in with analysis and Burrell and Emily S. and Rebecca Lizard adding notes.
Also, bittersweet because it opens with comments by ita and then DXM. But also actual Jeff Mejia postings in thread and Madrigal and other lost sheep.
It was fun when we all had something we could dig deep into.
Do we still have all of DXM's zipped up WX threads safely archived?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I dunno about safely, but:
The Buffista Attic has links, but they don't seem to work any more: [link]
Buffistas.org archives on the WayBack Machine has .zip files of some TT and WC threads: [link]

Phew! I'm glad of that. We should do a little housecleaning. Because there's good history back in there.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Sadly that KStew/Aubrey Plaza movie had much more chemistry between the two of them and not so much with the girl who was supposed to be Kstews gf.
My Instagram feed universally refers to this movie as "watching KStew choose the wrong lesbian."

This weekend, my family got to experience the full range of Christmas-related theater (featuring main characters who fall asleep and have Christmas-related dreams) - on Friday, we went up to Beacon to see How David Lynch Stole Christmas, an immersive/experimental David Lynch-themed Christmas Carol and then last night we saw a very traditional (but lovely!) Nutcracker. I wish the David Lynch show was traveling or around for longer because I think many Buffistas would have loved it!
We also ate exceptionally well yesterday. I made this Everything Salmon with Caper Sauce with asparagus and latkes and while the rest of us were at the ballet, Dylan made Yorkshire Puddings and creme anglais for dessert! (He cooked the puddings in duck fat left over from Thanksgiving and they were AMAZING. Serving them for dessert might be nontraditional but I'm not at all mad about it.)

Oooh, both sound fantastic!
I woke up to an absolute downpour which discouraged running, but now it's stopped and I'm sorry I ate breakfast already. But I was hungry!
I did a shit ton of online shopping yesterday which immediately got my debit card flagged by my bank. C'mon! It's not a red flag that I'm buying items for $60.
Tomorrow I have to jaunt over to Sausalito to do my expedited Passport, but I have everything lined up. I just need to double check everything today and I'll have a new Passport before 2025.

Dang, that menu sounds delish to me!!
I do not want to be working but I especially don’t want to be doing all my usual weekly things PLUS the things people are freaking out about because they realized it has to happen early this week or nobody will do anything about it until January.

I do hope I had trenchant commentary, Hec. It's always good when past me turns out not to have been stupid.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
IJWTS it is weird to come here on Monday morning and realize that not only have I not been posting from my phone all weekend I actually was not reading. It's weird because I guess I have been having mental conversations with y'all? Maybe my effort to try and follow bluesky is confusing me. I don't have any illusion that I will keep up with it in any meaningful way, but I'm trying to get used to checking in on it with some regularity
Was not as online as usual because I spend I went to the annual holiday tea at the local city museum with my mom on Saturday and ended up hanging out with the folks all day and having dinner. And hibernated yesterday, what with the rain and cold and having been social although I did not realize I was hibernating quite that thoroughly
