poignant Buffy review

Lee and I just watched the entire Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. We started in September, so it took us about 6 months to watch 145 episodes, which is a bit much of tv. And I love tv.
Anyway, throughout the seasons I had love affairs with three different characters.

Xander. Always Xander.


Spike.


Giles.

(Interestingly, Anthony Head also appears in “Little Britain,” which is a ridiculous and hilarious sketch comedy show.)

I never had an interest in Buffy before, but my friend Lee (not my husband Lee) owned all the seasons and raved about it. Since she likes awesome things like Freaks and Geeks and LOST, I took her word on it and was pleasantly surprised. I think I liked Buffy so much because there was an over-arching story throughout the entire series. So, in conclusion, I totally recommend it. But only if you're seriously going to watch all of it. Which is a commitment, for sure. But um, I really like tv. So it wasn't too hard.

politics and dining room upgrades.

Just so you know...


In other news, I re-covered our dining room chairs so they no longer look like a 70's grandmother's furniture. It was my first attempt at doing anything Martha Stewart-like, and I was impressed with the outcome. Below is a picture (fugly plaid pillow in background).




Also, I painted my office.


By the way, speaking of Martha Stewart, my friend Emily is going to be on her show on March 11th. Tivo it.
