Ahhh...more stuff and Firefly

Feeling a tad persnickity and irritable tonight. I think this is just end of the week woes - ie. I'm frustrated that I'm still unemployed, single and poor. And a tad bored of whining/worrying about it. Don't mind the single bit so much - except for being horny and no sex. Forget I said that. Hmmm, wonder if I can take a vacation from myself?

Watched the Train Job on pumpkinpuss's Firefly DVD tonight, ( Read more... )

After watching The Train Job, wandered over to atpo board and almost, almost got sucked into that ranking game some of the posters are playing. I'd play but I can't for the life of me remember the order some of these episodes aired in, which makes reading some of the posts very confusing. Must avoid ranking game. Ranking games bring out the geek in me - every time. Also lead to me bashing others favorite episodes such as *cough*storyteller*cough*
...which is never a good thing. Not to mention a tad hypocritical on my part.

Still frigid in New York. That type of cold which has the radiators hissing and clacking to keep up with it. The type that leaves the streets and sidewalks with a white dusty residue from the morning dew freezing on contact and any remaining water on rooftops: Cracking as ice, frozen solid. Not a shred of water underneath. Meanwhile the sky is clear and sunny. Not fond of the cold. Like those in between temperatures of 40s,50s, 60s and 70s. Extremes make me grouchy. And up until 2000? I was spoiled, NY had been having incredibly mild winters and summers. Hmmm, should go to bed now, read for a while maybe. Sleep late. Too cold to go anywhere. So guess I'm hibernating until Sunday, when I meet cjl for lunch, discussion, and a movie. Will be the first I'd seen since RoTK over the holidays.

Oh the new icon is commenurate my new ship - the brother ship between Spike and Angel, not slash, except in my head. I have no interest in seeing it on screen.

That BTVS Ranking Game

After a little nudging by aptolittlebit and dead soul, have decided to figure out and do what I call the Btvs ranking game. I did Ats too, but since this entry is so bloody long, I’m saving it for another one. Also it took me forever to do this…ugh. The most difficult part of this game is remembering all the episodes and writing them down in proper order. Once you've done that - it's a breeze.

The thing about these "ranking games" is they tend to tell you more about the person doing the ranking then they really tell you about how worthy the individual episodes are. ( preamble on ranking episodes )

Here’s how the game works if you want to play: you rank each episode against episodes that fell at the same time in the seasonal order. Example: Instead of pitting Welcome to The Hellmouth against Fool For Love, you pit it against Ann, When She Was Bad, Lessons, Bargaining I, Freshman. Not as easy as it sounds. Trust me.

I’ll leave it up to whomever decides to read this on whether my choices say more about the show or my own interests and tastes.
