This that and the other thing...
Aug. 4th, 2025 08:06 pmWas feeling a bit off, so I took three COVID tests - all negative, so it's not COVID. And I'll go to work tomorrow. I think it's a combination of sleep deprivation, sensitivity to wildfire smoke (frigging Canadian wildfires), massive swings in blood sugar, and boredom at work.
I did get 8,900 steps in. ( Read more... )
Finished watching another episode of Andor S2 Ep. 8 - which was quite good and a rather satisfying ending to the whole Cassian/Syril arc, also Deidre/Syril and Cassian arc. Cassian clearly has no idea who Syril is, while Syril was obsessed with killing Cassian.

It was a good episode, if a brutal one. The second season is slow to start but picks up its pace towards the second half. It takes a while to build everything, also there's two storylines that kind of bog things down - Mon Motha, and whatever Forest Whittacker's character is doing.
Still doing Buffy S3 rewatch, and well, the writers don't appear to know what to do with either Xander or Cordelia at this point. ( Read more... )
The Faith centric episodes that immediately follow are somewhat better, but the B villains drag the first of the two down a tad. ( Read more... )
Other take-aways?
I can see why Faith ditched the Scooby Gang for the Mayor, except for one small problem? Faith is anti-authority to the max - so it would have made more sense for her to leave town? I mean I get why she ditched Buffy and company, I would have too, if I were Faith. But I don't understand why she hooked up with the Mayor?
( critical explanation follows )
Oh another takeaway - I can now tell that Gellar did not do her own stunts at all. ( Read more... )
It's still enjoyable, but not quite as enjoyable as it was twenty years ago.
Here's a picture from today's walk at lunch time. And I think I have a biting fly or bug in her, it just bit my foot, and it stung. Doesn't itch, just has a slight burn to it. No, no bite. Maybe just a nerve tingle? Ugga Bugga, I don't understand my body at all sometimes.
