Rebecca and I rented 3 Angel DVDs recently, which amounts to about ten episodes. Which is a lot of Angel. I’d never seen the show before, but I love Sci Fi, and I love watching TV on DVD, and I love hero stories, and I sort of secretly love Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which is the mother ship to Angel’s satellite. I haven’t watched a lot of Buffy, but my friend Heather is into it, and when I visit her we’ll often watch a couple of episodes. The musical episode sort of made me fall in love with the show. Anyway. Rebecca and I decided to just start with episode one of Angel and see what happens. Confession? I basically love it. Well, I love it less now that Doyle is dead, but I have some degree of confidence that he won’t be dead forever. No one stays dead forever in these shows, right?
Doyle is actually dead in real life now, though.
Which is sad.
Because he’s a cute Irishman, and you know how I feel about that.
My plan for getting out of the proverbial gutter:
* blog the shit out of the PDX Film Festival,
* make my one minute movie,
* try to ride a horse this Sunday,
* have a little fucking faith for crying out loud, right?
I have a job fair to attend Friday. Then another one on Saturday. Then hopefully on May 4th (if I make the cut. It’s invite only). I need to work on my portfolio, print more copies of my resume, and get a haircut. I also need to get new brake-pads, like, yesterday, and do my laundry. But first, JOY!! I’m getting dressed up and going to a movie premiere and then to the Holocene for a p-a-r-t-y. I might wear some shimmery makeup, who knows. It’s time to let loose!

Willow, you just go to that job fair and kick some teacher butt, OK? Let ’em know how lucky they would be to get you.
i’m not a big buffy or angel fan, but i really did love ‘firefly’. if you haven’t seen it you should!
hopefully we will see you on saturday for some dancin’!
i want to go to a movie premier too! and a party at the holocene!
…and tv on dvds. a very new thing for me. i never did it til i visited the states… but now I’m addicted to lost …
J and I are big Firefly fans, though I had to grit my teeth through most of Kaylee.
Good luck with the job fairs!
Oh, how I loved Buffy! The musical may be one of my favorite hours+ of TV ever. My fellow Buffy fans and I have always dreamt of having it available on karaoke. I used to host a Buffy premiere party with red-colored rice krispie treats and gummy hearts with tooth picks (just like stakes!) stuck in ’em. Oh, and also fake vampire teeth. Um…and it was actually fun, despite how it sounds.
Angel gets kind of bad (there’s this chick Jasmine, and Cordelia becomes some kind of God/demon), and then it gets good again once Buffy ended.
OMG, i first saw Serenity and am now hooked on Firefly.One of my favorite parts of good sci-fi is the Byronic Heros-Han Solo,Spike,Angel,captain Malcom,Wolverine,Batman.Hot brooding men in tight space pants and/or vampire fangs?Yes!!!
Take it back, Real Girl, Angel was nothing but awesome! Buffy is the show that ran itself into the ground…not that it made me love it any less. Also, uh, not that I have it or anything, but you can actually buy a karaoke feed for Once More With Feeling. I am so ashamed.
Willow–I highly reccommend netflixing the rest of the series. You might get bogged down in season 3, but I guarantee you will want to power through to the series finale n the 5th season. Those last 4 or 5 episodes are killer! I also share your love of Doyle…as is sadly reflected in my URL. Again, I am ashamed of myself. But only slightly.
I LOVE that you are into Angel. Welcome to my nerdy world! Any time you want to nerd out and talk Buffy and Angel you got my number.
