If I don’t blog for a few days, it quite possibly is because I have keeled over dead from inhaling the fumes produced by accidentally mixing bleach with vinegar.
After working all day since I’ll be moving Monday, and then coming home to pack some more, I am highly unmotivated to wear anything but jeans and [...]

look it up: slayer comma the
TV Guide columnist Matt Roush moderated the recent Buffy the Vampire Slayer panel at last week’s Museum & Radio’s 25th annual William S. Paley Festival.
Present was the main cast minus Alyson Hannigan and David Boreanaz.
His opening remarks were truly spectacular and reminded me of the sheer and utter brilliance this show encompassed.
A Tribute to Buffy, by [...]

i’m definitely not a trekkie…
… but I am really getting excited for the release of the movie, schedule for a May 8, 2009 release.
“My goal is to make Trek REAL — that is to say, not have it be camp, not have it be phony, not have it look like a scrap of green scrap was used anywhere. Of [...]

atonement: the dvd
Okay, so my impatience (and insomnia) won out and I went to the Wal-Mart that’s five minutes away from me and picked up Atonement. Since it was after midnight, they had already put them out. I should’ve just waited for Netflix, but I have a feeling that there’s going to be a “Long Wait” tag [...]

i wonder if anyone would notice if i just stopped talking
I watched Speak for the gobzillionth time tonight.
I’m not sure how a movie that makes me feel like I’ve just been kicked in the stomach by a steel-toed Doc Marten could be my favorite movie, but it is.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go wash the mascara streaks off my face.

read in 2008: update
9) Atonement, Ian McEwan: Fabulous. Yes, it took me a really, really long time to read, considering it’s only a 300 page novel. This is one of those rare instances where I like both the book and movie equally. The guy who adapted the book into the screenplay did a really fantastic job.
Anyway, I think [...]

it’s very stressful being an other
I love Juliet. And by extension, Elizabeth Mitchell.
Seriously? How could Entertainment Weekly even begin to imply that The X-Files was superior? I mean, I loved Mulder and Scully with the best of ‘em, but the seasons after the movie bored me until I stopped watching altogether.
That, combined with the bogged-down-alien-government-conspiracy mess, plus the post-Mulder seasons, [...]

lives ruined and blood shed: of vampires and wizards
Logan: I thought our story was epic, you and me…spanning years and continents. Lives ruined and blood shed. Epic…
Veronica: Come on. Ruined lives? Bloodshed? You really think a relationship should be that hard?
Logan: No one writes songs about the ones that come easy.
It was one of my favorite quotes — and one of [...]

um, wow.
Got an email from the library at 4:30 that New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer’s acclaimed Twilight series, had (finally) arrived.
By 6 p.m., I was reading it. I took a break to watch American Idol, the Gosselins’ skiing special, and to talk to Erin for a while, but it is 2:44 a.m. and [...]

i’m just not talented
I thought maybe I’d keep track of the movies I see this year in addition to the books I read.
So far there haven’t been that many.
In the theaters we have:
Untraceable: It was okay. The ending annoyed me, because it really didn’t seem realistic. I mean, Diane Lane’s character was a FBI agent. She’d been tracking [...]
