Actually, it's mostly because I've got carpal tunnel and other nerve and muscle damage in my arms, and books are tricky things for me to hold without pain. I've got the latest Eye of the World volume on hold, and I'm saving my wrists for Perrin... Julia, my, my, that sounds dirty! You can type the most innocent of comment and then make it sound dirty. Caraleigh who can dirty it up with the best of 'em ;D

Happy Thanksgiving back to you! I HOPE Buffy has reached the level of self awareness about her own contributory negligence in the AR (like, hey, if I broke up with a violent boyfriend and had a fool-proof way to keep him out of my house, I'd do it) and a level of maturity to see the whole soul quest as an indication it was not a pattern. If Xander hadn't wandered in, I doubt that anyone would have known about it, any more than the "other little nasties". WHICH reminds me- a fun little intellectual exersize is to take scenes from S6 and imagine how they would have played out if Xander had been thirty seconds later (the kitchen scene from "Gone" is particularly fun to play with). Julia, girding her loins for baking breadGee, I never knew that area of the anatomy was involved.

Gee, I never knew that area of the anatomy was involved in that! Well, you know, the legs are attatched to the loins and I must stand on my legs and bake, and the complicating factor there is the dogs are underfoot (in the Chesepeake Cow Retriever's case "underfoot" extends to midthigh) so everytime I move, if I wasn't firmly girded I'd end up on the floor. Julia, wishing there was going to be someone at Thanksgiving dinner whom I hadn't seen twice too often in the past week already.

I forgot to mention, back along where the discussion centered on the ewwwww factor of Buffy/Angel and why it's pretty much missing from Buffy/Spike: by the time Buffy and Spike have sex, they've known each other for five years, and have been dearest enemies and close aquaintances for nearly two. What Xander and others see as stalking, I find entirely consistent with Spike's actual lack of any real social skills- see the whole first act of "Crush"; he's actually a whole lot LESS mature and sure of himself than Buffy when he can't fall back on the Big Bad persona. There's a whole lot of that relationship I find repellent, mostly on Buffy's part, although Spike has some seriously questionable moments. The beat down in the alley in "Dead Things" is the apex of Buffy's badness, but I find the form of her confession to Tara : "Why do I let Spike do those things to me." to be essentially dishonest and a frank attempt to duck responsibility for her own behavior. It's consistent with severe depression, but it's also one of the habits of thought that depressives have to break to begin to get healthier. Now, what am I going to do about brain input tonight? I've given up on books for the present, and no Angel. Well, time for a tape runthrough, I suppose. Julia, HEE! I'm first! Julia try some fanfic! Caveat, though: fafic is addictive. (hello, addict here). We have some fantastic fanfic here at S 3 - for adventure, try Nan's work; for mysteries and thrillers, try Rob's; for "sci-fi/fantasy", try Rusty's; for romance and adventure, try Mary's, and on and on. Before you know it, you'll be addicted, like the rest of us!

On the other hand, if you're an American in Scotland on the 4th of July, people tend to come up to you and say "Congratulations". Julia, with fond memories of a garden tour that included Crathes Castle

Hello kiddies, I'm back. I mean, sorry, leftovers from earlier today. I've spent the last four days teaching Swedish and English at one of the local junior highs. And, you know, uh, teenagers, they can be kinda draining. Annoying little brats (and with that attitude I'm going to be a great teacher). However, I quickly forgot all that exhaustion when I came home and opened my mailbox (the electronic kind). There was the confirmation for my ticket to JMLive in Berlin May 2004. I did a little celebratory dance around the apartment. Not quite the Snoopy dance, but still. I'm going to see James Marsters. You probably couldn't care less, but come on girls and boys, I had to tell someone. I also got my Angel fix today by watching the episode Offspring from S3. Am I glad we are finally getting new episodes. It has been one big repeat-o-vision with S2 eps here. We've seen them, like, three times and thus, are still stuck with S3. So life's not too bad. Oh, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL! I've experienced one myself. The food was good, the whole historical background of the holiday is not all clear to me though. Buggering out now... Life IS good, Reeta! Thanks for sharing, and I'll try to squelch my envious heart. You'll have to tell us all about it in May! As far as Thanksgiving. It all started when America was settled and after struggling with survival, help from some of the friendly Indians, etc., a few of them celebrated with a feast to give thanks for God's abundance. ;D Well, that's my slant on it anyway. Enjoy the new eps of Angel!

Julia, wishing there was going to be someone at Thanksgiving dinner whom I hadn't seen twice too often in the past week already. I admire you for baking bread with carpal tunnel. I use a bread machine. I'm not so much into the kneading and pounding and waiting around for the rising anymore. Maybe someday when I retire, but then again, probably not. Karen, who loves the smell of homemade bread baking in the oven.
