19 October 2007

Coffee and Buffy: the wonder drugs! [More:] I woke up this morning with a thumping head and a roiling belly. After violently emptying my vile gorge, then returninging to bed to moan a bit, I forced myself to get up and sit on the couch, wrapped in a flannel sheet, drinking coffee and watching an episode of Buffy.

The two seem to have effected a radical cure. I'm feeling much better, thank you. How are you doing today?

I promise not to mention vomit again today.
I got an email from my boss about a project we're working on, that she thought was going to need further edits (we're on round 63 or so with the editing). It said, "This looks better than I remember! Good job!"

That's a nice way to start the workday.

Now I'm having an internal debate about whether restorative yoga (yay, calming!) or the gym (yay, serotonin!) makes more sense for this evening.

Buffy, Coffee, an excuse not to go to work... What more does anyone need?

Ooog, the effect seems to have been fleeting. That promise I made earlier? Not worth the font it's typed in. Blarg.

Good news, occhiblu! That does sound like a good start to the day. The thought of yoga or the gym makes me need to cradle my head in my hands, though.

Oog, I'm sorry. Sending chicken soup vibes your way....

What episode?
posted by danf 19 October | 13:13
yeah, what episode? That makes all the difference...

ALL OF THEM!

We've got the whole series on DVD [insert geeky snarfle here], so I can spend the whole day with The Scoobies if I want. Aaaand then move on to Angel. As it happens, I've started the first episode of season 7.

Is there one episode you recommend to ameliorate flu-like symptoms?

hmm. I will have to consider. It's been awhile since I watched them. I seem to remember enjoying Band Candy quite a bit, though.

I have the whole set also, but I refuse to watch the one in which Jenny Calendar is killed. I just can't bring myself to (after having read synopses of it in various places).

(Tabula Rasa is a fave, mixing great humor with the emotional intensity of everyone's life falling apart.)

The best Buffy episodes?

The musical episode (season 6)
Tabula Rasa (also season 6)
Season 4 closer with the dreams
Season 6 closer episodes with Evil Willow
Season 7 episode with Anya's history

My favorites anyway...
posted by DarkForest 19 October | 16:28
I think the musical episode is my favorite, as well as the episode where Anya grants Cordelia her wish (in Season 2, maybe?) and we get our first glimpse of Powerful Sexy Willow.

But otherwise I Did Not Like Season 6, to the point that I couldn't even force myself to watch Season 7. I have a thing against shows that continue on after the original writers and producers have moved on. They're like zombies.
