I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Buffy ,'Get It Done'


Atlantic Canadian Monday Madness  

[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

Thanks for all the fish.

I'm home.

Are you able to come for drinks and/or dinner on Monday night?

Yes, we are available. Sunday I'm not sure yet.

See what you can do. I'm thinking 2pm at my place Sunday. Let me know if people need rides (and I'm shamelessly volunteering Barb to give lifts, which is horribly unfair of me so please do not hold me to the rides thing). Everyone has my phone number, right?

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Welcome, Griffyn! (I've probably used the wrong spelling. Sorry.)

Hiya. I can come Monday for the first part, but I'm taking my little sister to a hockey game, so I'll have to leave early. I'm not sure about Sunday - I have a friend staying with me, and I'm not sure what's going on.

My brother is playing tonight at The Velvet Olive with Matt Mayes (they did more funk-y arrangements of his songs because of the change of back-up bands. I should go, but I don't know if I will. Want sleep.

Well, tomorrow night I'll finally see TTT. A bunch of friends are coming over to watch the extended version of Fellowship in the afternoon, so tomorrow will be chock full o' Tolkein.

A person's concepts should exceed their vocabulary, or what's a metaphor?

Welcome, Griffyn! (I've probably used the wrong spelling. Sorry.)

That's the correct spelling, Ouise. It's an odd arrangement of letters to be sure, but happens to be the one I go by.

Hope to be meeting you all either on Sunday or Monday as I plan on trying to make both gatherings.

Excellent! There's so many different spellings, I had no faith I would pick the right one. And naturally I was too lazy to go back a page to see your post. But it was all for the best.

I'm looking forward to meeting you, too. Should be fun.

Just to let Griff know that I have cats - in case of allergies.

Oh, by the way. Does anyone - and by 'anyone' I mean Megan - have a nice clean copy of Serenity that I can borrow to make a copy of? I have Trudy's tape, but there are some issues with it. Non-fatal, but if yours is cleaner that would be great.

And, Trudy missed last week's Buffy, and YTV didn't rebroadcast it on Saturday. If anyone can bring a copy of that Sunday or Monday so she can see it, that would be much appreciated.

By the way, I called Global yesterday to ask when they will be airing Serenity and the last two eps. The very condescending woman told me that they couldn't air the last two episodes until FOX did (which, really, doesn't Buffy air all the time before the originating network airs it?) and that they have no concrete time to air Serenity, though they will air it sometime. With little or no warning. In no particular timeslot. I asked if viewer interest would change this - she said no. Skeptical, I asked if viewer interest made no difference. Stupid woman was very stupid. She suggested that people e-mail her. I said that we would phone - it makes more of an impact.

So, very long story made not particularly short, call Global, early and often, and ask to speak to the programming manager. Let's get Serenity on the air so we can see it. Okay, yeah, we've seen it, but still.

My copy isn't 100% clean since i used an old tape to tape it (I'm not keeping them) and I stopped it during the credits to make sure that I was taping channel 36 instead of Global. I'll bring it and you can decide if it's ok.

I have the most recent Buffy (all of Season 7, actually) in .avi format for the computer. I can bring a CD with it if that'll help.

In other news, shutting down the computer to move now. Be back online later tonight.
