And I'm eating this banana. Lunchtime be damned! (btvs 3:16)

I guess I should talk about the Oscars for a second. I was annoyed that Crash won over Brokeback Mountain. crossoverman has some interesting thoughts on the win and karabair has an awesome theory about it.

Thank you to my friends who reminded me that the Oscars aren't actually about the best movies of the year. How could I actually forget that?! Silly me. I also must thank them for listening to me talk about how much I hate Queen's University (the university in my hometown) and its cultish school spirit because, for some odd reason, my annoyance with the Crash win fueled a completely unrelated rant! I am weird.

Fortunately Jon Stewart made the evening funny. If only the celebs had more of a sense of humour. *worries he will not get to host next year*

At least Ang Lee - who's one of my favourite directors - won best director! And Larry McMurtry thanking book sellers was awesome because we got to applaud two of my friends!!

My favourite moment of the show was when The Day After Tomorrow (one of my guilty pleasure movies) was included in the "movies about serious issues" montage!!!!!! That made my night because it was just too funny! Oh! I just remembered Jon Stewart and George Clooney in bed together!! *g*


I am sick. Grumble grumble. I've had this cold since Thursday and I thought I was getting better on Sunday but it came back with a vengeance. I spent 3 hours waiting to see a doctor today because I was worried it might be more than a cold (and I am neurotic), fortunately not. Of course I still feel AWFUL and I wish I'd just spent the day cuddled under a blanket.


I did see BSG 2.19 but have no coherent thoughts on it right now, aside from liking the episode. However 24 kicked ass tonight and the ending completely surprised me and made me cry (not hard considering I've been on the verge of tears all day, but still an emotional moment).


At a friend's recommendation, I'm trying to sweat the cold out but now I'm feeling feverish and my brain is all fuzzy. /whining


ETA: A BtVS/AtS community has been having shipper polls (eg. who do you like better Spike/Buffy, Spike/Dru or Spike/Harmony), which can be fun but also makes me uncomfortable because I've noticed the whole shipper thing can be divisive in fandom. Anyway, two posters for separate Spike and Angel polls said that Spike/Angel aren't listed as an option because they're not a canonical pairing. I'm too wimpy to make a comment there (maybe I should instead of posting here), but they're a canonical pairing in my book. grrr

Take care of yourself. Feel better soon. Chicken soup is a cure-all. So is chocolate. Just not together. Yuck!

I had always assumed Spike/Angel was a fact BEFORE it got confirmed. As a matter of fact, I was surprised that they claimed it only happened once.

And yes, stay away from shipper wars. I'm a Spuffy gal. I accept that some folks will never get that. There are some pairings I'LL never get. But I respect the right of others to believe even if they're the silliest ones on earth. Unfortunately, others don't feel that way and will try to bludgeon you into submission. Don't go there, girlfriend! *g*

Thanks for the feeling better wishes! Love the chocolate idea (but not with chicken - hee)!!!

I had always assumed Spike/Angel was a fact BEFORE it got confirmed. As a matter of fact, I was surprised that they claimed it only happened once. Me too!!

I'm definitely taking your advice and staying away from shipper wars. I tend to like all pairings anyway, as I can never pick just ONE favourite of anything!
