What about "Paddy's Lament"? That one's nice and woeful. ThoughI don't think an adaptation is possible until later this evening....
Smonster - I am bringing the gin and some 'ludes.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?
'Time Bomb'
Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh.
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.

Punishingly Intricate
And let's all remember to take a moment.
Okay that made me teary. Also, buying the fixings for my last ever Buffy night special potato at the Fresh Fields last night I got all verklempt. I have a special potato for this show! Oh I'll make it again (maybe it will become Special Angel Potato!) but it won't be the same.
(for potato lovers: I bake it, scoop the insides, mix with blue cheese, mayo, dry mustard, paprika, S & P, put sliced tomatoes on top, and sprinkle it with shredded parm or other sharp, dry Italian cheese. Then pop it back in oven to get bubbly. sniff. it's a beautiful thing. like Buffy.)

Did anyone mention that we Canadians had a Buffy marathon on Space yesterday to warm us up for the big event? They showed the top 10 viewer voted episodes from 9 AM to 7pm, ending just as the finale began. It was like Buffy nirvana.
Except for having to sit through OMWF again.
Number!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I was IMing with a Canadian friend of mine, home from work on Victoria Day. It was kind of cool getting little bits of the show, reminders, funny lines.
Although - "Family" was #3? You Canadians are crazy.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sue, what were the other favorites? Anything that would make this board (generally) sit up and say, "Huh?"
(Edit to respond to xpost -- Other than "Family," that is.)

Madrigal - Your suggestion of adapting Danny Boy is highly appropriate. Been singing to myself te past few minutes. Methinks I have stumbled upon some therapy.

Don't make me come down there!
I have a stomache ache and I can't tell if it's from the Spaghetti-O's I ate (don't ask - random craving) or if it's because I'm freaking out and my body knows, but my mind hasn't realized it yet.

"But now I am moving to California, and Buffy is ending, and I will have no more Tuesdays with Smonster. A time is drawing to a close. In a way, tonights Buffy finale is a finale for a part of my life. "
Samantha, I SO get how you feel! And where are you moving to in California? I'm in LA - Venice Beach. One of my friends might start showing the DVDs starting with Season 1 on Tuesdays, which will help with the sense of loss. I haven't seen all the seasons, I think I started watching during the next to last season on the WB. But I did a lot of catching up on FX when I had it.
"It seems fitting that I finally had my first dream with characters from the show last Sunday night. "
Right on! I went to bed last night and thought really hard about the characters to see if I would dream of them, but no luck. I dream in Buffy whenever my mind wants to, not when I choose to.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I've been thinking "Danny Boy" because Darla sang it to Lorne when she was pregnant, and I thought Angel ought to have considered naming the boy Daniel in honor of the song, and as a way of appeasing Holtz - a gesture that might have made him reconsider the whole kidnapping thing.
