My Spare Time In A Nutshell

Hi hi hi. I know, I haven’t written anything in a while, but I haven’t had much to say really. Here are some of the things that have happened since I last blogged.

1) I’ve fallen in love with the webcomics xkcd and A Softer World. They are amazing.

2)I started reading the buffy comics. Amazingness. Almost as good as the show but we don’t get to see Alyson Hannigan or hear her adorable voice. We do get the illustrated version though, and the is no limit on special effects.

3) This Just Out With Liz Feldman had it’s season finale which features several fun guestbians. My favourite part? “Shane” introducing her friend Kate to Liz, who still doesn’t get it. Tegan and Sara also played a competitive game of “Who’s Gayer?”. Speaking of Tegan and Sara, I really want Tegan’s Macbeth shoes.

4) I have started at the beginning and am now on season two of a hilarious show called How I Met Your Mother. I love it. I always laugh when I watch it and they make fun of Canadians a lot (because Robin -a character- is Canadian). I love it when they make fun of us. I feel special. Is that weird?

5) There is one final episode left of The L Word. Although I love that show, this last season has really only made me feel sad and uncomfortable. Sunday night we finally get to find out who killed Jenny!

6) I started watching Joss Whedon’s new series Dollhouse. I really like it so far, but it is missing that witty aspect that I loved about Buffy. I like it though. It is really intense right away. It also stars Eliza Dushku (Buffy’s Faith, the other slayer) as the main character -  the “active”, Echo,  that repeatedly has her memory wiped. It’s difficult to explain, watch the show.

7) I started a DeviantART account, find it here. Also, I’m Twittering now occaisonally, and that’s here.

8 )

I started watching (and really really really like) a series from the UK called Skins. Blame capsizedlullaby for this, as she introduced me to it. Among other characters, it features Emily and Naomi, two girls who, as of yet, are almost a couple. It’s complicated, but they’re both really cute.

Don’t worry. In the actual show “I Kissed A Girl” by Katy Perry is not playing in the background, thank goodness. The show in general has a really good soundtrack.

So, what have you been up to?

Best.Spinoff.Ever.

Too bad it’s fictional.

I was on youtube and I had just fininshed watching the series finale of Buffy, which completely blew my mind,  and I was looking for clips of Willow (of course). I came across an alternate title sequence someone had made for a spinoff starring Willow as the lead character. That’s what I would have wanted to happen and I even may have started to call the show Willow instead of calling it Buffy like everyone else when bringing it up in conversation. So without further ado, Willow opening credits:

The only thing these credits are lacking? Some Tara Maclay. I think that if they made a spinoff they would have to find some way of making Tara come back. They did it to Buffy, right? Tara was the best thing that ever happened to Willow in my books, and she is much much better than Kennedy any day. I suppose I shouldn’t get upset though, it’s not like it’s a real series or anything.

Now that I’ve finished the television series I’ve moved on to the graphic novels, an action which has made me lose so much respect for myself and my newfound nerdiness. I can’t resist though, it’s Buffy, so I just have to continue.
