Well. Yesterday was hot and windy and consisted mostly of Anna, Tink and I eating bakery goods and watching Buffy and Cabaret. Which was wonderful fun. And then they left and I lay on the couch until about midnight watching MORE Buffy simply because the house was empty and I could.
Restless = best example of Joss' genius. Ever.
Spike: I've decided to sell myself as an attraction.
I'd forgotten how much I loved Spike. Am filled with burning desire to watch Season 6. Or at least drive something sharp into Riley's boring head.
Also found:
"We need to make a fort"
"I'll go find some pillows"
which was all the more hilarious being delivered by army men with perfectly straight faces.
And today... today was cold and rainy and full of yet more Buffy, but also cleaning and maths homework and wanting very very badly to work on Dare Not Say but not being able to get started.
Demon Diary = growing on me. I'd cosplay as Raenef if I thought I could make any of his coats, because they're lovely. And self-sacrificing!Eclipse and evil!Raenef are quite the coolest entities ever.
