Survived

The weekend that is.

Today's a bored meeting and I'm all dressed up even wearing heels. I have no idea how long *that* will last. I have backup foot wear, so I await the inevitable.

Mandi's headed back to Michigan. It was a laid back visit, at least I think so. The first visits were much more tense, but I've learned to believe that we need not go-go-go in order to have a real visit.

The party Saturday was much more laid back and smaller than last month's, which was nice... but now I have 4 ziplocks of jello shots in the freezer. Oops! They'll keep, thankfully. Thanks to all who came and made the evening so groovy

Long story short, I bought Angel season 1 yesterday... a bit of a gamble given I've not watched much of it yet but had every intention of starting as my new TV addiction, since Buffy will soon be nothing but reruns. I think it'll be a good investment- they do not have it syndicated on any network and not renting at Ballbuster yet... only selling. So, here begins the new vampire addiction!

<smiles an innocent, though wickedly sharp smile> Hey, little, girl, want some candy? Or, in this case, something almost as good as the Angel DVDs?

See, I came to Angel about mid 2nd season through M and had some catching up to do so I read all the scripts, which are quite interesting... check them out here (http://studiesinwords.de/angel.html). I mean, remember Spin the Bottle? Where Lorne spent most of the episode tied up?

Lorne, back on stage: "`Okay. First of all she didn't say may your words please the gods so much as may you orally please the gods, which is a slight... (We hear some muted laughter from the audience) Well, inflection is very crucial in our... Ah! God bless her. It's always nice to hear the mother tongue---as long as it's not from {my} mother."'

Lorne looks around and taps the microphone he is holding.

Lorne: "`Is this on? (Lowers the mic) And secondly (and we're back at the hotel zooming in on Fred) I didn't know that a couple of hours ago Fred had tried to kill her evil professor by opening a portal. (Close on Wes) Gunn didn't know that Wesley had helped her. (Close on Gunn) Wesley didn't know that Gunn had killed the guy himself to save Fred from becoming a killer. (From Fred) And Fred didn't know (to Gunn) that Gunn was right then figuring (to Wes) out that Wesley had helped her try."'

Lorne on stage: "`So you can see that I didn't have all the facts when I started this. It's my job to read people, but nobody in this clan was exactly singing. And me? Hey I was thinking about Cordelia."

So, if you find time to start reading, you may find the scripts as highly entertaining as the shows ;)

I've only now seen about 4 episodes of Angel completely: Willow's visit to LA this season, and now the first 3 from season 1. ... I look forward to that Spin the Bottle episode and if I need a new and interesting way to kill time, I may well look into reading the scripts :)
But not yet.

Hm, such a shame to watch Angel without a mob of people. Maybe we should get together or something for that. :)
