Once More With Feeling
Buffy, Drew, and Hugh Grant, too!
Hey. I made up a little rhyme. How cute is that? (I kept it because this post was going to be about Buffy AND Music & Lyrics. But I'm a sloth, and quit writing after the Buffy part. Maybe tomorrow. But, hey, I'd already made up the rhyme, so ...)
Been off the blog for a day or so. I had a proposal to get out the door. (They wanted a couple of paragraphs. I turned in 5 pages single spaced. That is SO me. But, hey, more is better, right? Unless we're talking calories, although frankly, if there are more calories, it probably tastes better. )
But I haven't just been writing. No, I also went to a movie! And before Lent, Don and I glommed much television, and managed to get further along in Season Six of Buffy. Yes, folks, we made it to ... the musical episode.
And can I just say that Once More With Feeling absolutely rocks? Now, I'm a major Broadway musical junkie as it is. I'm not entirely sure if that makes me more open to an episode like this or more critical, but the fact is I found nothing to be critical about except the ending (seemed extremely abrupt, but the actual freeze frame of Buffy/Spike, and also the resolution with the demon not wanting Xander as his queen, so he hightails it outta there). Other than that, though, I have nothing but good to say. I loved the musical numbers – especially Anya/Xander's song. I loved the way the premise fit naturally around the numbers. And I absolutely loved the way it got Buffy to reveal her Big Secret that she – being Buffy – would never have revealed because she knew it would hurt her friends. A wonderful moment in the arc of the series. Major kudos, and I hope Season Six stays on an upswing (although beating this episode won't be easy!)

My Netflix Envelopes
Currently by my television from Netflix:
As Time Goes By (season 4),
and Stick It (which my husband refuses to watch with me, but I think looks like a hoot!)

Wiki Wiki Me!
Julie Kenner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am such a geek. I just found out that I have a wikipedia entry. Totally made my night!

Vote on this cool trailer!
A friend of mine entered this clip in The Lot, where they compete to win a deal. I just watched it and love it!

Not really a brush with fame, but ...
My wonderful friend and critique partner Dee Davis is on Letterman tonight ... well, she's in the audience, but, hey, it's the front row, and she and her husband were in a shot! Fun!
