Wesley: "Are you all right? You haven't said two words since we left the office."
Cordy: "Oh, I was just thinking about those kids."
Wesley: "Yes. That place was pretty awful."
Cordy: "And I thought my first apartment was bad. Can you believe people actually live there?"
Wesley: "Well, it certainly gives one a sense of perspective, doesn't it?"
Cordy: "Yes, it does. - And I think, prespectively speaking, I might want to - prostitute myself to billionaire David Nabbit."

She turns as a man enters the bank office. Buffy puts on her biggest smile, stands.
BUFFY: Hello.
MR. SAVITSKY: Sorry to keep you waiting. Carl Savitsky. Loan Officer.
He sits behind the desk across from Buffy. She sits also.
BUFFY: Buffy Summers. Loan applier-for.

Madness and Obsession

[personal profile] yourlibrarian
1) I tried out the new season of Mad About You. Although it's become vague over time, I remember watching the series with my partner in the 90s. Although I did find the show entertaining, I think part of the appeal was that we were a new couple then ourselves and just a little older. So it was interesting to see how the relationship was handled in the show. That may also be why the new episodes are just irritating me. ( Read more... )

2) Not sure what anyone can do about this new ban on non-U.S. made routers since that would seem to block any from being purchased. Perhaps a small concern given all the blazingly huge ones right now, but this is not an administration that thinks ahead about anything.

3) The MCU's Wonder Man did not grab me. I've liked Kingsley's Slattery since his first appearance in the MCU. It seemed so wonderfully against type casting. I was really glad he had reappeared in different ways. So I'm delighted to have him back in a major role. ( Read more... )

4) The Count of Monte Cristo was a slow climb for me. ( Read more... )

5) It seems I am clearly not going to become either a knitter or a crocheter. ( Read more... )

GILES: Uh...You are patrolling tonight?
BUFFY: Nope, I am going to a party tonight. Hopefully, a "no fighting, no biting" kind of deal.
GILES: Look, buffy, somebody's got to find out who these people are.
BUFFY: Giles, I live in a dorm now. The girls in my hall want to party, Willow needs some cheering up. I'm going to take her.
XANDER: How's will dealing-
BUFFY: With the black hole of despair she's been living in since Oz left? She's dealing. I'm helping. It's hard. Ergo, party. You two can take patrol.

Feeling the Ugh

Mar. 27th, 2026 02:22 pm
yourlibrarian: IGotYou-_cuethepulse (SPN-IGotYou-_cuethepulse)
[personal profile] yourlibrarian
1) For those who use Zoom for meetings, something to be concerned about: WebinarTV Turning Zoom Calls into AI Podcasts. Stanford has issued guidelines to campus users to prevent it happening.

2) Turns out Xfinity offered us free Peacock (supposedly Peacock Premium but we have ads anyway). Getting Peacock access was quite a process though. All I should have had to do was click the email link and accept the offer. In fact, everything I tried kept sending me to a 404 page. ( Read more... )

3) When I finally did get into Peacock, I used it to watch Song Sung Blue and thought it was mostly an enjoyable film. I liked Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson leaning into their ages and downplaying his looks. The music was fun and it was a nice, small scale love story. ( spoilers ).

3) The Peacock issue wasn't the only technical frustration of the last few days. After finishing my taxes and other to-dos I had pending, I wanted to take some time to get back into my LEGO Star Wars game on the Xbox which I'd last tried almost 3 years ago. ( Read more... )

4) I feel surprisingly upset to hear that Starfleet Academy is essentially cancelled. (There's another season coming but that had already been planned before S1 began). I wrote earlier about how much I was enjoying it, and that was before I watched the fourth episode. I will miss these characters, and it seems there's so much more that could be done.

5) The latest [community profile] marchmetamatterschallenge writing prompt was "How do you define genres? Is it still a useful tool to find entertainment you like, or have offerings become so niche and melded that it's hard to use categories anymore? Was it ever something useful for you, personally?"

To some degree yes, but increasingly no. ( Read more... )

Angel: “You’ll want to move away from the door now, father.”
Dad: “Go through it, but don’t ever expect to come back.”
Angel: “As you wish, father. Always, *just* as you wish.”
Dad: “It’s a son I wished for – a man – instead God gave me you! A terrible disappointment.”
Angel: “Disappointment? A more dutiful son you couldn’t have asked for. My whole life you’ve told me in word, in glance, what it is you required of me, and I’ve lived down to your every expectations, now haven’t I?”
Dad: “That’s madness!”
Angel: “No. The madness is that I couldn’t fail enough for you. But we’ll fix that now, won’t we?”

DREG: ... most tingly and wonderful Glorificus...
GLORY: (trying on a shoe) Please, call me Glory. And get up, looking at you is hurting my neck.
DREG: (gets up) Forgive me, shiny special one. I beg of you to rip out my inadequate tongue.
GLORY: (reaches out her hand) Gimme.
Dreg grins and walks forward, sticking out his tongue. Glory waits till he's close enough and then grabs the scroll.

Getting It Right

1) It was nice to see that when Jeopardy used "slash fiction" as a clue, they actually had the correct definition.

2) This article which looks at Hamnet's role as an Oscar nominee was interesting but asked an odd question at the start: "(Chalamet) is not wrong in noticing that the classical arts have less mass appeal than pop art...Given this logic, if the classical arts have a connotation of decline because the masses no longer engage with them/or they are inaccessible, why does William Shakespeare—arguably just as distant from everyday popular consumption—continue to carry enormous cultural prestige, especially in industries like awards-season filmmaking?" ( Read more... )

3) Enough time has passed now that I'm not entirely sure what I wanted to discuss regarding several Netflix shows, but I think it had to do with what made them memorable. ( Read more... )

Willow: Well, there were an uneven number of students, and you didn't show, so...

Buffy: (in shocked disbelief) I'm a single mother?

XANDER: They'll never know how tough it is, Dawnie, to be the one who isn't chosen. To live so near to the spotlight and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes because nobody's watching me. I saw you last night. I see you working here today. You're not special. You're extraordinary.

SPIKE: No. (Riley glares at him) Well, yeah, all right, I did. It's a ... predator thing, nothing wrong with it. Just ... know your enemy's scent, whet the appetite for a hunt. (He sniffs the sweater again) Ah, that's the stuff! Slayer musk, it's bitter and aggravating!

Keeping It Together

1) My response to the meta prompt at [community profile] marchmetamatterschallenge, "Do you think it's more likely that meta would be preserved and read if it were regularly included in other fanwork challenges? Would you take part if you had the chance?"

I do, and that's because I feel that challenges, fests, and other group activities help extend the life of the given fandom. ( Read more... )

2) I watched the Sally Ride documentary and had mixed feelings about it. ( Read more... )

3) I tried out Happiness, a New Zealand comedy about a director returning to his hometown community theater group. I'm liking it more as it goes on, though the way so many characters are turned up to 10 is a little much for me. What I am liking quite a lot are the musical numbers themselves. If more kids learned history like this, they might remember it.

4) I took a survey which explored how much people trust the wisdom of crowds vs AI. I clearly didn't do it the way they had planned. ( Read more... )

5) Delighted by the arrival of spring, wish it didn't feel like the arrival of summer.

EVE: I mean, I understand. You're running the whole circus now, a lot of pressure, especially with your hands-on policy. No pun intended. I'm sure you could use a release.

ANGEL: No releasing, just bathing. That's what one does after bashing open a demonic pinata full of rancid Tabasco. What do you want, Eve?

EVE: You stood me up. We had a 7:30, Angel, a meeting.

ANGEL: Oh. Right. Uh... I'll get my pants.
