You know something I hate?  When you're sitting down and perfectly fine, then you stand up for whatever reason and  you mustmustmust get to the bathroom now do not pass go do not collect $200.

But more to the point, do any Buffy fen know of any good icons with Buffy, Kendra and Faith?  It's something I've been craving for a while.

ETA:  After a week and a half of blessed silence, Starts Playing Music Loudly In The Middle Of The Night is up to it again.

Forsyte Saga: Series 2: ep. 2-4 (end)

( spoilers )

Also, can someone verify for me if this is the complete book series?  I find it much easier to watch soething with unlikable characters as a main focus than to read something with unlikable characters as a main focus, but I'm curious.

Mean Streets by Jim Butcher, Simon R. Green, Kat Richardson and Thomas E. Sniegoski

This is an anthology of four urban fantasy novellas by Jim Butcher, Simon R. Green, Kat Richardson, and Thomas E. Sniegoski. My reaction to each was about on par with my reaction to each author in the past.

I liked Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files story “The Warrior,” which was spoilery for recent books in the series, and focused on Michael and his family. In complete honesty, I almost would have rathered it be about Michael than Dresden, as I really like him and his family. Simon R. Green’s “The Difference A Day Makes” read like an early Nightside book, before the metaplot took off. Strangely, Dead Boy’s car was the best character in it, IMO. And there was self-imposed amnesia.

I tried reading Kat Richardson’s Greywalker recently, and bounced off it, despite a premise that I really liked. Sadly, I had the same experience with her story here, despite the added Mysterious Artifacts. Thomas E Sniegoski’s “Noah’s Orphans” was like his A Kiss Before the Apocalypse for me, in that it had angels and fallen angels living among men and a private eye angel and lost races and I couldn’t get into it. Which makes me incredibly sad.

Dollhouse 1.7

Like the pilot, this episode gave me a very “manga” feeling. It creates a certain bias with me.

In conclusion: I demand clones.  (As far as we know, clones have nothing to do with the episode itself.  I still demand them.)
