Get Out The Fork.

I finished my database this afternoon. There are some flaws beyond my control but it's still infinitely better than anything I've done in the class all semester so that's something.

Smallville was fairly good last night. It was almost like Clark had to face a fellow Kryptonian but doesn't encroach on any continuity issues. Nice. I was especially interested in that fact Jor-El used Jonathan's body to heal Clark. I can't wait to find out what's going on with the two of them. I love the Native American analogy to Clark and Lex's future relationship. An interesting touch. I do have a question though: when Holdsclaw set fire to the truck with heat vision, any idiot could tell he was going to do it and Clark had time to stop it. Now, I know doing so would enforce the professor's belief Clark is the deity Naman and it was just a truck but still...

Angel was infinitely better than last week. Angel and Spike are hilarious together. The only thing that would have made it better would have been more Andrew. (Originally that was reportedly going to be Dawn...) Oh and more Darla and Druscilla; clothing optional. ("Will you hold me under the water?") When you're as old as Angel and Spike, you have many enemies that periodically show up after 50 or 100 years. It didn't sound to me the Immortal ever leaves Rome or Europe at any rate so he waited for the Slayer to come to him. If he is indeed immortal, he has time to wait. We may never know or at least not until the TV movies what his motives truly are. Illyria's motives for accessing Fred's memories, or what's left of them, to trick the Burkels were very kind disguised as selfishness which implies to me that Fred is still in there somewhere. Again, we will have wait until a movie to find out for sure.

Lady Vader had a question about Connor. I pretty much answered this question when I reviewed the episode he returned in a couple weeks ago but, to be clear, here goes an explanation. When Angel agreed to take over Wolfram and Hart's LA office, he had two conditions: care for Cordelia and to give Connor the life he deserved that Angel could never give him. Reality was altered with only Angel, and maybe the comatose Cordelia, remembering Connor's existence. Connor meanwhile thought he was a normal boy with a normal family until he we was hit by a car and was able to walk away from it. Meanwhile, Illyria tells Wesley that Fred's memories were altered. He finds the device that housed the real reality and broke it thinking that it would bring Fred back. It didn't but now everyone, or at least Wesley, Illyria, Lorne and Gunn, know what really happened last season. There is some debate if Connor knows but it seems to me and others that he does. He simply chose to go back to his better life. No one knows what his "parents" think or know.

The Neglected Blog

With the discovery of the time-waster that is Facebook, I find I no longer need to waste my time here. This is mainly why I haven't done any quizzes or other memes here in a cat's age. (I'm not a dog person...) They're all over there. Also why tell you all about what's not going on in my life when I can better waste time by making fake money off Lindsay Lohan's hi-jinks? Added to that, you can regularly follow the mundaness that is my life on Twitter. I don't want to say I'll never blog again. Frankly, this site and I have chronicled much over the years and I'm not ready to give it up fully. Every so often, something comes up worth sharing. Case in point, Thursday night, there was a retirement celebration for our outgoing OT professor complete with a guest lecturer from Boston, dinner and a vesper service designed by the professor herself. It was good Thai food, though admittedly not my favorite Asian cuisine, and saw many people I knew. My parents c

Reversion To The Old Ways

Since there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which of my posts get comments and which don't, I'm going post whatever I feel like. Sure, I love comments but I must face facts that I'm not going to get them. No, I'm not going to review every episode of every TV show I'm going to watch this new season again simply because it doesn't appeal to me any more. To be sure, I will write about some of the new series since that does still interest me but not every episode... I am going to go back to complaining about my love life occassionally though because, if I can't discuss it here, where can I? Remember that workstudy student I mentioned being interested in? Yeah, well she's married apparently and I think even has at least one child so even if she didn't commute from such a long distance, nothing is going to happen with that. (Boo!) This is the first time I've discovered information of this nature before I made a complete ass of my self so this is go

The Big E and Other Commentary

Last night, we went to the Big E up in West Springfield. It was apparently Connecticut Day so the parade was all CT all the time. It was the longest parade I have ever watched. It went on like forever. We got a baked potato at the Maine Building and a Spiced Apple Cider Donut at the Vermont building as well as sharp cheese called "The Preacher." I wanted to get "The Green Mountain Boys" which was supposedly XX-sharp but my father wouldn't go for it. We then went to the Sam Adams Beer Garden where I ordered an Octoberfest. Mine was 20 ounces so it looked huge compared to the little cups of chardonnay my parents ordered. We then went over to get the special Big E cream puff. Has anyone heard Clay Aiken's new song? He's covering Badfinger's "Without You" of all things and, I really hate say this, it's pretty good... We're having another Movie Night a week from tomorrow. We've decided today that we're going to watch Akeela
