Watching Inuyasha now. Didn't realize I'd missed so many episodes on CartoonNetwork.

Thankfully, the dub seems to have gotten much better with teh later eps. And ha! Inuyasha just said "I don't give a rat's ass"! I don't remember that in the subbed. Was funny to hear, though. I think i could actually get used to his voice-actor, if I forget he used to voice Ranma, and just accept it.

OOh! Sesshoumarru just came on. He's so pretty, and evil.


ETA: now I've got the urge to go read IY fic. And good--it wasn't as far along as I'd thought. Rin comes on next episode! And Sessh begins his long road to the redemption everyone knows has to come after he allows a cute little orphan six-year-old to follow in his bloody path like star-eyed puppy.

Hm.... I wonder if Rumiko Takahashi was a Buffy fan when she started writng the manga? InuYasha is such a Spike-like character... even with the crude language, the white hair, and the tragic romantic past tied up with a crazy undead chick. Though Kagome is so miles away from being Buffy, I must admit. She's a lot more like Dawn would be, if Dawn hadn't been the baby in the family.


o.O Manchild coming on. Must see ASH!

Manchild

::mad snickers and giggles::

ASH is so funny.

"I killed a pheasant once."...."No, I took it to the vet. It...didn't survive the surgery."

"May I touch your bunny?"

"I've got a trap. And I'm going to kill something. You'll see."

::rolling in couch giggling::

He's actually got an accent much like Giles in this... Giles in the later seasons, who's not afraid to say "fucking" a few times when he's very annoyed.

Jobs

Well, I didn't get hired at Abercrombie & Fitch. That's ok, I didn't really want to work there anyway. And I actuially mean that, you know.

Where I wanted to work: Hot Topic. And guess what! I have an inteview tomorrow morning! This is much of the good. I love that store-- punk music, skater clothes, gothic jewelry, and freak apparell. I thought I might not be scary enough to work there-- we'll see. I'll have to consider my wardrobe carefully.

The bad is it's a group interview. The same kind of group interview I apparently didn't pass with A&F. Oh well, I'll wow them. After all, someone has to give a freakin' job.

Fanfic

several things really, really annoy me in fanfic. As I previously mentioned, Giles having a split personality is one major peeve. Here's some more:

1. post-Grave fics in which Dawn take's Spike's side (in those conversations when he's not there to protest)and makes Buffy feel guilty for her bad in the relationship. Even if she likes him (which she did), Dawn would never side with Spike after he tried to rape her sister. She might forgive him, but she'd support Buffy. I think it'a awful because it excuses attempted rape, and softens or confuses a serious issue. This is so unrealistic it's not funny--and yet I'm always seeing it.

2. The fixation on Spike's tv-habits, and the constant need to have Passions references in EVERYFUCKINGTHING. It was only mentioned twice in the whole freakin' show, and not even in the last two years. We know he likes daytime tv, already. I don't need it shoved down my throat everytime I read fic. For all we know he could have stopped watching the damn show when Joyce died. The humor in reading it has long lost its appeal. Referecences like that, if made, should be subtle. And Spike must've watched hella tv-- try something besides soap operas next time.

3. Hot chocolate & marshmellows. see above for same reasoning. So. Fucking. Tired. of this in fics. Subtlety people! SUBTLETY!

4. Xander being called "Whelp". Ugly, ugly fanfic trend. Has no basis in canon, and furhtermore jsut sounds bad after the first three times. Spike calls Xander by his last name, by some reference to his job, or by the fact that he's Bufyf's hang-er-on "boy" or sidekick. He never freaking calls him whelp.

5. Willow being called "Red" by Spike. Yes, he's said it in the show... but it's been less times than I can count on one hand. He also calls her witch, and by her acutal name. Go for variety people.


That's all I can think of for now.... but the list is ever growing in the back of my mind. What about everyone else? Do these things bug you guys, or do you have different pet peeves?

Fic Challenge!

You know what would make a cool fanfic?

Buffy. X-Files. Future.

12/24/2012. The aliens invade, begin take-over. They gain overwhleming control.

While M&S are either helping or leading a human resistance, a resistance movement is brewing among the demon community of the world.

Buffy and Spike are involved in one or both of these movements-- either together or acting separately but planning together. Mayhap, for example, Spike is involved in the demon one, and Buffy is joing the human group to prepare them to ally with the demons, in the hope of overthrowing the invading aliens.

But there the demons, the humans, and the alien invaders--- and all three groups want control of Earth.

B/S, of course. Mulder/Scully too, I'd hope.

Wouldn't that be a bitchin' fic? I love end-of-the-world and post-apocalyptic fics anyway, and this one would rock.

Anyone want to write it for me? Please? :pout:

Film

Just watched The Bourne Identity for the first time.

Excelletn film-- best spy movie I've seen in ages. Better than both Mission Impossible movies, better than the Brad Pitt spy movie, better than The Saint... just an aweome movie. I was skeptical about casting Matt Damon as a spy/agent... but he really did well. Very, very cool. I never lost interest for the slightest, and the film never lost its pace. Go rent, now. I think I'll buy it on DVD later.
