Good Lord. I'm Angel.

I really gotta stop doing these things...


You're Angel. What this says about you: You have
an aversion to people, but you feel the need
for closeness with a very tight-nit group of
friends that are more family than anything.
You can be rather obsessive about things, but
you also have an extremely dorky side to you
that not many people see. When in love, you
manage to find a way to ruin your happiness,
either by chance or your own design. Still,
you've got to open up more and tell everyone
how you feel.

Open On Sunday Drabble Challenge - Beginnings

I wrote this one a few weeks ago, but it fits the theme of beginnings. Warning: extreme silliness ahead.


Title: Idaho
Setting: Pre-BtVS Season 2
Rating: PG13

He dropped out of high school after tenth grade, bought a moped, and went travelling. He hooked up with Ladonna in Idaho; they'd go to Ellens Air Base at night to smoke a little weed, listen to some tunes, and watch the light show. It was cool.

Then things got heavy. They were chased by a helicopter, picked up by the FBI, and he still wasn't sure what happened to that Mulder guy. It was seriously weird shit.

Oz thought maybe it was time to go back to school. Learn guitar. Join a band.

Somewhere a long way from Idaho.


[A/N: This only makes senses if you've seen "Deep Throat" from Season 1 of The X-Files. Which I saw for the first time not long ago and which inspired me to write this nonsense. Seth Green guest starred in it as "Emil" (though his name is never mentioned on-screen - I guess it's in the script or something). Maybe Oz's full name is Daniel Emil Osbourne?]

Once More With Feeling

Oh. My. God.

Still working my way through the newly-acquired BtVS S6 DVDs and watched Once More With Feeling tonight. Now, it's not like I haven't seen it before. I saw it when it aired and again just a few months ago when I discovered that I still had it on tape. Plus, bought the CD a couple months ago too. Nevertheless, I was *totally* blown away while watching it tonight. Seeing it in context - in addition to being newly impressed by S6 - well, let's just say I can't remember the last time I had so much fun by myself. :-)

What an amazing hour of television. There are no words save for these: Joss is God.

And way cool special features for this episode: commentary by Joss Whedon (which I haven't listened to yet because I really should be going to bed), a behind-the-scenes making-of documentary by David Fury (which is almost as long as the episode itself), and Buffy karaoke for three songs - I nearly died laughing!

I wish Tara's song had been one of the three, though - it's been running through my head all day, so it would have been fun to sing along with. Doesn't matter - I've already got the CD put out to bring to work with me tomorrow. I'll just close my door and listen to it all day.

I just can't get over how much more I'm enjoying S6 this time around. I'm kind of wondering where my brain was two years ago. At the moment, I'm liking it more than S5 - it even seems to look better. There's something about the way they filmed S5 that made it look dark and grainy. S6, OTOH, has portraits of wonderful colours and perfect film-like quality.

Anyway, that's tonight's endorsement for the BtVS S6 DVDs. I'm going to Amazon now to order the script/music for OMWF.

Oh ya - tomorrow night? Tabula Rasa ::sighs happily::
