The new cat is coming home today. We may be changing her name from Claudette but haven't firmly decided on anythng yet. Yesterday we got food and treats for her, and a new littler box set-up so thigns won't just be ALL Pretty's territory and they will both have things to adjust to.

We have just watched Band Candy. "Do they have nachos here, Little Tree?" Man, that was priceless. The whole episode was proof of why, as an actor, you must have NO SHAME. Damn. It made me hate Joyce slightly less (I'm sorry, but the character is largely undeveloped, there just to be an obstacle and a hypocrite).

Also, Ethan is SUCH a wtf character. His main motivation seems to be boredom or being an irritant and I still can't tell if the way he's written is clever and smart or really craptastic gay stereotyping. But I care. A lot. The whole Ethan/Giles backstory, whatever it may be, interests me the same way the idea of Lucius + team Slytherin during their Hogwarts years interests me.

Also the current Xander/Willow situation? Breaking my heart. I keep wondering to myself if they feel grownup in the misery of their little non-affair.

And Angel's demise (such as it was)? Yes, very CoE, but hard to have an emotional response to when the guy later gets his own series, so you know it's not a permanent death.

Since we're on fannish things -- the guy who plays Lafayette on True Blood is a Dragon*Con guest this year. I'm so pleased.

And since we're on media things, let me be insecure about acting. ( Read more... )
