David, you don't appreciate the risk you're taking. The sight of my naked self has been known to reduce strong men to tears. I frequently use it as a threat and very rarely is anyone brave enough to take me up on it. Mostly nuns.... [/color] [/quote] ROFL!!! NUNS? Is there a story here?

<snip> Whoever posted that Angel reruns start Aug 27th? - thank you! It will be great to get 'into the mood' again. <snip> Do you mean S4 reruns on WB or S1 reruns on TNT?

Frankly, I'm thinking that "happy" and "jobseeker" really don't belong in the same sentence together. I was a jobseeker for way too long, and it wasn't until I stopped jobseeking (and had a job) that I was happy. Employment is not one of those times when the journey is half the fun. I meant "being happy now that the search is over." You're right -- there is nothing happy about being a jobseeker. It's the most miserable experience in the world. Unfortunately, I know too many people going through exactly that experience.
So, to both Dave and Nan, may your new jobs be everything you hope they could be. And to everyone else who's still looking, keep the faith!

Anyone else watch MI-5 last night?
Two things, (okay, maybe more):
Tony Head is the ultimate cool.
Had a "What does Giles think he's doing?" moment when I heard a particularly un-Giles like moan over the MI-5 surveillance tapes. (Hot yet unbelievably ooky.)
How have I not watched this series before. I am now going to have to set my VCR eventhough Tony Head isn't on regularly. Really good show in the best tradition of British television.
Yup. Liked it lots.
Any thoughts?

I love her hairstyle and color. I didn't see much of her in the first MTV picture. My eyes kept wandering over to the hunk standing with her.

I went to that first link and it did something weird. It had unresolved little images that popped off one by one and disappeared before I could click any of them...very very strange!

I guess I had better get more verbose. Or stop doing any work at all and spend all my time here. I guess that wouldn't work. I do want to keep my job. What with not liking the job hunt either. Best get back to it. For now at least ;D Micha, Spike's Naughty Nibblet.

. . . but I promise there is a BtVS connection to this post!
Okay -- some of you know that I am a "foodie" -- i.e., I like to eat and to cook really good food. Which means that the Wednesday "Dining" section of the NYT is a high point of my week.
Today, there happens to be an article about a woman named Julie Powell, who lives in Long Island City (part of Queens, close to Manhattan), who for the last year has been making every recipe in the cooking classic "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" (by Julia Child). While she's been doing this, she's been posting a blog on salon.com, called the "Julie/Julia Project." It apparently has a huge web following, and as Julie is extremely forthright in her writing, it is quite entertaining to read. The article mentions her writing as being occasionally "rough" -- I'm quoting the article here:
"(Some of Ms. Powell's language, in person and on her Web log, is very rough. Some of it is very funny. So that this report may be welcomed at breakfast tables and in classrooms, the word "cookie" has replaced the occasional expletives. For example, as she wrote on Monday, Aug. 11, "This Monday [cookie] is just [cookie] killing me.")"
Okay, so why am I telling you all this? Because two-thirds of the way through the article, Ms. Powell talks about a gift of tray tables that her husband gave her:
"Yes, very nice super-modern TV tray tables," she said, lighting up. "Otherwise you can't watch your `Buffy' and eat your kidneys!"
That, of course, was when I just starting laughing. There was no other mention of "Buffy" in the rest of the article -- I took that to mean that the author simply assumed that everyone reading the article would know the reference.
After that, I tracked down her blog site from the article (http://blogs.salon.com/0001399/). (If that doesn't work (and I had some trouble), go to salon.com, then look for Web Blogs on the left side, then go to the "most frequently read" link, and look for "The Julie/Julia Project.") I can't say I read more than the last few entries -- but they were very funny.
Then I searched back to see if I could find more BtVS references -- I checked on May 20, to see if perhaps she made a "special" dinner. She did, but it was for a TV film crew -- no mention of the finale. Her next day's post, however, starts right off with her saying "I can't believe I missed the last ever episode." She later has a bunch of people volunteering to give her tapes of the finale, which she watches a few days later.
I got the biggest kick out of finding yet another BtVS fan in the oddest places. If you want a break from fan fic, go check out Julie's blog. (I couldn't get enough of a sense as to how she feels about Spike, else I would have invited her here.)

I'm sure some of you may have seen this site, but I found this section through Whedonesque today, and thought it was interesting. Buffy Canon vs. Fanon - an in depth look at what happened on screen and what didn't. countylimerick.prohosting.com/learn/buffy_canon.htmAlso, if you follow the home link in the top left, it takes you to to a pretty big fanfic site. Well, since I don't actually spend much time looking for fanfic, I don't really know if it would qualify as big, but it is interesting. Enjoy.

oK, something really strange happened...first time I tried this I was on netscape so I switched to IE...and this time I got the little unresolved image links but they stayed there. So I clicked on one and a popup box said 'The hardest thing to do in this world is live in it'. The same thing happened for each image. Now doesn't that just make you go 'ooooh?'
