And none of you really whine about anything. *lol*
Real life is calling me - it's only a week till my son graduates from high school and I was supposed to get some graduation announcements typed, printed, and sent out to relatives out of town. Right now he's doing one of his last big things before graduation - the AP college-bound English exam. Then one more exam on Friday and he is finished!!! I might take him out to lunch today.
Also, I am so behind on planting my garden, and I really need to go to the garden center and pick up the plants before all the good varieties are gone.
Is it time to be planting stuff outside already? My little sprouts are not up to it yet. (Except the corn, which as dicussed elsewhere, moved outside in April. It is dong fine, about twice as high as it was when I planted it). I guess if my sprouts are still looking lame in a week or two, the kiddos and I are off to the farmer's market to get tons of cool plants (heirloom tomatoes, Thai peppers, e. g.), and Home Depot for a few boring standard ones too.
As for whining--of course I don't whine at you for not posting on your blog. You update very frequently. ;)
I'd gotten behind on reading it (I read the entries when you posted them, but not the comments. Mistake - you have a very interesting and articulate group of commenters here at "Rattlesnake Central"!)
I have not been to Leaky recently, but it must be a sight to see. I have an HP friend, completely pro Jo, who hopes SVA/RDR lose big because she considers the book "theft". She visited the site, and her comments on Leaky? She can't believe the level of antagonism and rudeness of what is posted there. If she were running the place, she's be handing out warnings in handfuls, and plenty to pro Jo posters. That convinced me I want to stay away, lol.
That's interesting that you remember you AP exam so vividly! My son took a practice test a few months ago and scored a 5 (is that the highest?). Ironically, my daughter never scored higher than a 4, though her grades in English were alot better. So John's teacher made a snarky comment about "who knew?" that someone who had a bad quiz grade could suddenly bring up the class score average, lol. My son is so much like Harry when it comes to school, except that he likes to read, so I have hope for college.
I’m starting Season 5 of Buffy and Season 2 of Angel. There is always a new fandom around the corner.
but Spike made up a lot.
I think that in character he had a lot in common with Snape, althrough in appearance complete opposite.
I could be wrong, because I never sat through episodes as thorough as through HP.
Bluestocking
But I do have a clearer head after a little rest. :)
I've seen one or two episodes of Buffy and found it a little too dramatic for my tastes, but that brief Spike performance has me alternately raising my eyebrows in disbelief and choking with laughter. And the instant he drops to his knees, mumbling something about "one enslaved" and that vulnerable look climbs onto her face - how can anyone, however cynical, not react to that?
Enjoy your gardening! And good luck to your son with APs. :)
Spike has some of the funniest lines, but also the most beautiful lines. He is a truly great ambiguous character, just like Snape.
Prom is all over for us, thank goodness! We get out of school so early because they started back in the middle of last August. That seems ages ago.
*lol*
I only own Seasons 5-7 on DVD. But the other day I found the DVD of Spike Episodes at my used bookstore, and it has the one where Spike first comes to town ("School Hard"). What surprised me was that the character really stayed consistent all the way through, and I think that's because James Marsters is just a genius.
Have you ever seen 'Firefly'? It's another Whedon show that was only on the air for a year. It's Sci-Fi and fabulous! It's worth a rental to check it out. ;)
