"Perhaps writing is the route to our ultimate hapiness, or maybe it's only a dream."
My friend, Celebalen wrote me this in an email recently, I reproduce it here because I found it oddly reassuring, which I believe may have been his intent.
Right now I feel as if writing is the one thing that I can rely on - I escape into it at times like a child might into a warm blanket - the world of words.
As a small child - I used to go to bed with a stack of books, tucked into bed with me, I would hug them like someone might hug a teddy bear, even though I could not begin to read most of them. Books to my child's mind did not reject, or harm, they merely opened up doors to new worlds and new friends whose voices echoed in one's mind. Now, I find myself retreating to the internet to hunt posts, essays, journal entries...providing the same hopes, dreams and reassurance as those books did then.
( Long ramble on very personal health related situation )
Today, I found a couple of really good reviews on the ATPO board regarding The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinquo - if you are interested you can find them here:

My favorites were by Rufus, sdeve (Helplessness, Hopelessness, Happiness thread), Ryeui, and cjl.
For the record? I really enjoyed ATS 5.6 and agree with those who state it is one of the best so far this season.But this post is already far too long, I think - so I'll put my views on ATS 5.6 in a separate post. Maybe tomorrow, once I re-watch it.
Did re-watch LMPTM and Darla tonight. Came to the conclusion my favorite characters in Whedonverse are without a doubt The Fanged Four in all their evolutions.
