Did we ever get a sense of how much time was passing during Season 6? I know that a lot of the time, it seems like a season takes less than 9 months for the characters, but I can't recall if there was something specific in that season that was that way.
Older and Far Away
was s6's Buffy Birthday episode. It was originally broadcast on 2/12/02.
I can't remember a mention of Buffy's birthday in season 5. The Buffy birthday episodes were originally broadcast as follows:
S6 02/12/02
Older and Far Away
S5 02/06/01
Blood Ties
S4 01/25/00
A New Man
S3 01/19/99
Helpless
S2 01/19/98
Surprise
(with Innocence on 01/20/98)
But I think, during season 6, at least a few episodes picked up right where the episode prior left off.
edited to include the s5 birthday episode
I can't remember a mention of Buffy's birthday in season 5.
Was it in "Blood Ties"? I feel like S7 was the only time they skipped it entirely.
Lyra, I checked a synopsis, and you're right. I can't remember that part at all, but the synopsis began with something like "As Buffy and friends celebrate her birthday."
That episode aired 02/06/01.
I thought it was established somewhere that Buffy's birthday was in January?
Other time-points: Willow and Giles are said to go away for the summer after Willow's breakdown; S7 opens in September with Dawn's first day of school. "Conversations with Dead People" is in November and after that all the timing went to hell in some way I can no longer recall.
I think S6 was supposed to cover more-or-less the schoolyear, as is typical for BtVS seasons, but the jury's out on BtVS S7 and AtS S5.

Buffy quips that she's a Capricorn on the cusp of Aquarius, at some point.
In some episode--
I Robot, You Jane,
maybe, Buffy's school records show on the screen, but the birthdate is different in two different shots. I *think* it's the year that is changed, but I'd have to find it.

I remember this and I think the date changed completely. There are a bunch of screen shots for buffy at:

Did we know that Michelle Trachtenburg is starring in a movie about ice skating? I saw the trailer in the Disney store today and it looks ... well, Joan Cusack is in it, and Michelle has shiny shiny hair, so it's probably not *that* bad. But it's funny that MT is wholesoming it up again, after the character she played on Six Feet Under.
(From the buffy.nu article, it looks like this may be old news, but it was the first I heard of it.)
I saw the trailer. She skates with mathematics. Just like River would.
It looks like a very fun movie. I want to see it.
The trailer looks very dumb. And requires that I see the movie at first opportunity. Because MT (who I have an unholy love for, especially and including Dawn, and anybody who doesn't agree can just GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!), plus incredibly silly-looking cheesy feel-good Disney teen movie makes it my kind of entertainment.
