\"LJ-icon-Sylv\"Firstly, on a more serious bent, I just wanted to say “Thank you” to elsaf<\/b><\/a> for her post yesterday regarding the decision on same-sex marriage in Massachusetts. To read it, click here<\/a>. I think it’s great to see steps forward in gay rights issues, I only hope, as Elsa fears it might, that it doesn’t give more fuel for George W in his re-election campain. My sister is getting married this summer to her girlfriend of several years and I’m pleased as punch about that. But it just irritates me that there are people out in the world who think that their getting married is going to be the end of civilization as we know it. (It won’t be – I can assure you. It will be a joyous occassion, providing she doesn’t make me wear an ugly green dress.)<\/p>\n

Now onto last night’s Angel. I was going to post our comments last night, but the show ends at 10pm and that’s when I like to be in bed (currently rereading Warchild by Andrew Cartmel). I’m only surprised that Elsa’s not had a chance to comment on it in her LJ. (Probably by the time I finish this post, she will.)<\/p>\n

I saved our chat last night and will repeat much of it here:<\/p>\n

trinalin:<\/b><\/span> Angel!
\nJudiAnnG:<\/b><\/span> I’m getting bad reception on WB
\ntrinalin:<\/b><\/span> That’ll go with the bad acting \ud83d\ude09
\nJudiAnnG:<\/b><\/span> heh
\ntrinalin:<\/b><\/span> Angel’s Irish accent always sucks
\nJudiAnnG:<\/b><\/span> Is that what it’s supposed to be?
\n[Spike the Ghost gets Post]<\/span>
\ntrinalin:<\/b><\/span> He gets to be a real boy – but for how long?
\n[Spike tests his corporeal-ness on Harmony – blech]<\/span>
\nJudiAnnG:<\/b><\/span> He’s acting like a typical human male
\n[Expendible Ensign, er Lawyer gets hit by guy at copier]<\/span>
\ntrinalin:<\/b><\/span> There are days when I feel that way re: toner
\ntrinalin:<\/b><\/span> Corporate Seers – heh. I wonder if they order them from the Seers Catalog \ud83d\ude42
\nJudiAnnG:<\/b><\/span> dialogue is getting a little too clever
\ntrinalin:<\/b><\/span> So far, the best line is “Is that otter?”
\n[Spike and Angel fight to the death (again)]<\/span>
\ntrinalin:<\/b><\/span> So, Spike kills Angel and we get a decent TV show… \ud83d\ude09
\n***JudiAnnG<\/b> high-fives Trina<\/span>
\nJudiAnnG:<\/b><\/span> this might be a half way decent show
\ntrinalin:<\/b><\/span> I’ve been entertained. \ud83d\ude42 Which is all I ever ask of a show.
\nJudiAnnG:<\/b><\/span> Can’t see shit..
\ntrinalin:<\/b><\/span> Neither can I. It’s all dark. My biggest complaint about the old Angel was it was too dark
\n***JudiAnnG<\/b> nods<\/span>
\ntrinalin:<\/b><\/span> Angel’s fighting against someone who’s been dying for a piss-up for months…
\n[Gunn goes after Eve]<\/span>
\ntrinalin:<\/b><\/span> Go – kill her! Kill her!
\n[He fails]<\/span>
\nJudiAnnG:<\/b><\/span> damn
\ntrinalin:<\/b><\/span> Bet the folks looking forward to Dru were disappointed
\nJudiAnnG:<\/b><\/span> That’s what I don’t like about Angel, mega-shit is supposed to be going down and it turns out to be a lot of action that goes nowhere
\n[Go to final scene with Eve in bed…]<\/span>
\ntrinalin:<\/b><\/span> Whodat?
\nJudiAnnG:<\/b><\/span> Who is that?<\/p>\n

In other news, my new reading chair arrived yesterday. Leo has already decided that he loves it. I’ve yet to get my reading room sorted the right way for the new addition (it’s a rocker recliner – it’s replacing a boring ol’ stationary stuffed chair), but I know I’ll get it sorted before too long. So last night I spent an hour and a half reading and listening to my reading music. And Leo sat on my lap for a bit, but then decided to play around the chair. I’m currently reading Bone Walker<\/i> by the Gears. It’s an Anasazi mystery that’s being solved in the past as well as by archeologists in the present. It’s the third in a series by the authors and I’ve enjoyed them all so far.<\/p>\n
