Just another chapter in La Vie De TKP

I don't care how it sounds, Captain Crunch tastes good in coffee.

Speaking of coffee, remember how I told you my coffee machine sucked? Well, it got better! Aureliano Buendía (that's the coffee machine's name, as he is the son of José Arcadio Buendía) was facing the firing squad, but now he is crafting small gold-lief fish! Or something. Go him! But then I cleaned him and he was watery again, but now better again. The ups and downs of his life, they suit his name.

If you have commented or posted in the past two weeks, I have read it. I just haven't replied because of stuff! Do you like stuff? I like stuff.

I am very excited by the fic(s) I am writing right now. That's good. Fic-writing is a happy thing.

I'm addicted to WEBoggle. It's [livejournal.com profile] entrenous88's fault. I didn't even know about it until her. Now I've got my brother, s-i-l, and mom addicted too. Now that's entertainment! How does the water buffalo fit in again?

I've convinced my BFF (TiFF is her name and she won't get lj but I don't really want her to because then she'll find out I read porn) to watch BtVS/AtS with me. She's always dissing it and she used to diss me for liking it but she stopped that because I stopped letting it bother me. Anyway, so I convinced her to watch ALL OF IT, and I can hardly wait. In fact, I so can't wait that I started and watched S1 again without her. And half of season 2. But that doesn't mean I can't watch them AGAIN. Oh, the B/A. It makes me want to dance a very lively dance that can be danced while sitting down and perhaps sleeping as I am tired. But I have observations! Things I've never observed before! But I'm going to wait to post them until I can throw in some classic TiFF ones too because she's such a hoot. God I love that girl.

Speaking of waiting to post, dude! I have so many things to say to you all (yes, to you! Hello! *squish*) but all of it is half-formed, cookin' in my noggin like so many noodley things al dente. [livejournal.com profile] dovil, if I was an Al I'd be al dente.

[livejournal.com profile] crazydiamondsue says, if you name drop in your posts, more people comment.

I weeded the gardens today. It was fun to get all dirty and sweaty with the dirt under my nails and I got to see a toad, and wear my hat, the only hat that fits as I have a big head but this particular hat is very cute I swear, BUT, I'm allergic to weeds. And these were very tall weeds as I've been saying I'd weed since February (that's when I weed) and I didn't get around to it til now, so with their tall shoulder-high wispiness they kept brushing my face and very-risqué-only-for-bed-and-the-yard-camisole, and with their lovers' touch they have marked me forever more. I have red welts everywhere. I thought they went away but they are still here; just pink.

You know what I like about Spike? Is I don't think he's very fickle. I know this guy, and he's such a great guy, like part of our family almost, and he keeps having very bad luck in love. And a lot of the time, the way he thinks reminds me of Spike, not the way he acts, or his personality, but just kind of his approach to life, it's a Spikean personality. Except for the fickle thing. He changes his mind too often for me. It's partly because I tend to be a bit plodding, and partly because I'm a bit of a luddite in some fashion, and partly because I'm HORRIBLY stubborn, but I just don't think I change my mind about things very often. That's a lot different from being close-minded, or not seeing other points of view, but I don't know, I think I am perhaps overly obsessed with consistency.

SPEAKING OF SPIKE. There was an argument today with friends and family and it was getting old so I said, "Spike's cock rocks my clock", and then realized I said it aloud. Oops. But then there was discussion about Spike's cock, which is always good.

SPEAKING OF SPIKE'S COCK, season one of Angel is the only one I'm sure of in a rating 1 through 5, 1 being best season and 5 being not the best season, I give it a not the best season. There are some really great eps in it, but it's the only season where the main thread of the narrative doesn't make me say, guh, this is the best season, because there really was no narrative thread in S1; they were still figuring everything out. Also, Doyle. He's cute and he's Irish and he does this head thing in IWRY when he's talking about what B/A may or may not be doing downstairs, and Angel loves him I think, but I just can't like him very much for some reason.

I saw that movie with Antonio Banderas. I am a sucker for cheesy dancing movies, I think. It was extremely lame and I was very entertained.

That's it, folks. I'm tired. Plus, I wanted to use the word "folks."

ETA: dictionary.com says fickle means changeableness but especially as it relates to "affections or attachments", and that's what I meant as far as Spike goes. Still, I wish I hadn't written that now, because it has a ring of "huh?" considering how often Spike decides to do one thing but does another.

Hi! Hi! I'm glad your coffee machine is fixed! Although I am a tea drinker, I understand the importance of good coffee.

I like stuff! I'm a big fan of stuff. Especially that stuff that, you know, goes well with other stuff.

Yay for BtVS rewatching and getting your friend hooked! I've been wanting to do a re-watch but keep not having the time. I occasionally will watch episodes as research for fanfic, that's my favourite form of research!

There was an argument today with friends and family and it was getting old so I said, "Spike's cock rocks my clock", and then realized I said it aloud. Oops. heeee! That's awesome! I'd never be able to do that with my family. My mom and I are very close but we never talk about sex.

I agree with you about AtS S1. Although there's things I enjoy, it's definintely the weakest season. It's so clear they're still figuring out the shape of the show, and don't have a narrative thread. I'm also not that into Doyle, I like his character and cry at his death, and find it incredibly sad about the actor's death. However I've always been baffled at the love for his character and for Hero. I really like the episode but it never had the impact on me as it did for many other fans (perhaps I'm distracted by the obvious metaphor). Although, I've found that my favourite AtS episodes are very different from other fans (I'm also not enamoured with Are You Now or ... I really like the episode, but it never occurs to me to put it in a top 10 list).

Oh, and Spike and Xander's cocks rock my clock!!

I'm so glad Aureliano is better, too!

My cat's breath smells like catfood.

I don't think I'll get my friend addicted. I just hope I'll get her to respect the shows. I have this weird problem with watching the shows out of order. There's only been a few times when I've said gee, I need to research, or I really wanna see Wishverse!Buffy or Peterpan!Connor or Pack!Xander. I'm afraid if I watch the shows too much I'll get tired of them. That's sad!

My family and I don't really talk about sex that much, but I do talk about it a lot more in general since getting an lj, since lotsa people on lj have this prediliction for porn, and they talk so openly about it, which is nice, and I sometimes find it difficult to talk differently to different people.

I really really like the ep Hero, but it doesn't have super special significance for me. I'm not sure I've actually seen that much talk about other fans' favorite AtS eps. I really *love* Are You Now... I think it's an incredibly well-crafted show, tight plot, awesome character history/insights, nice set set-up, wonderful themes...but no, not my favorite either, mostly because it's not part of any of the central arcs. I love the plot arcs in AtS, and so the eps I love best are generally those with really significant events, like Reprise and Lullaby.

But AYKoHYEB is part of the arc! It's complete foreshadowing for Angel's downfall and epiphany. The entire season is right there!

I don't count foreshadowing as part of the plot arc. It's all latent and brilliant and yada yada I give you that, but I prefer the eps in AtS that get the ball rolling. Not so in BtVS--stand alones are often my favorites in that series.
