It's Monday and I've gotten more done than I thought, considering I can't seem to get myself to focus for long on anything. What is it about Mondays?
Easily distracted. Friday's - I'm exhausted.

Anywho...one of the chief deputy directors came by with this question - which he was asked on an interview once:

Is it:

Two plus two is five

or

Two plus two are five

[Note 2 plus 2 equals five was not an option.]

The odd thing about posting in blogs or on facebook is sometimes you feel as if you are just adding a layer to the babble page. All these voices. Any listeners?

Been rewatching Buffy S7 now. And found myself blown away by the layered metaphors and prose poetry in the first four episodes. These are a lot better than I remembered. I think removing the anticipation and not watching them with a critical posting board mumbling in the background may have made a difference? Or maybe I just see things now that I didn't before? (shrugs) Buffy is one of those rare tv shows that you actually see new things in it each time you watch. Even more with the appropriate distance.

It's a huge shift from S6, which was in some respects less poetic in style and more raw. Here we are going back to the beginning or roots of the series, but much like Stephen King's novel "IT", the monsters aren't the ones the teens feared, but rather ones that adults do. Old demons haunting the hallways of the high schools we may have physically left behind, but emotionally never quite did.

[ETA - post below has been edited slightly, I added a paragraph and changed some dialogue. If you are at all curious about why I am obsessed with this show still and the characters of Spike and Buffy, this meta and the three or four before it - are the places to figure it out. ]
