Buffy Season 2 and Buffy Season 5 ended the same way.

and Season 2 and Season 3 pretty much start the same way.

Off Poker

Well, that week went well.
I didn’t think about poker once!
I didn’t watch a hundred hours of poker on the TV and internet.
I certainly didn’t desperately try to put a game together two days before the week was up.
No sirree, Bob. I did not.
Instead, I finished two books. (Three Junes and Rule of Four, two ehs and a blah apiece.)
I did laundry myself! How boring was that? Figured out that the dryer costs .032 a minute.
I watched an inordinate number of Buffy The Vampire Slayer DVDs and watched a couple of Netflix movies (Has anyone else managed to find random black and white WWII movies in their queque?)
And…drumroll, please…even went to the Gym. THE GYM.
So, experiment tried, ruled a moderate success…but we now return to our previously scheduled poker playing.

SOOO DEPRESSING

Buffy, Dawson and Felicity Bid WB Farewell
Thanks to some fancy licensing-rights footwork by bossman Garth Ancier, WB will end its 11-year run on Sunday, Sept. 17, by rebroadcasting the pilots of signature series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Felicity, Angel and Dawson’s Creek, Variety reports. The net’s five-hour farewell package will also include promos from years gone by and a tribute reel recounting the famous faces who have graced its broadcast signal. Says Ancier, “This will be an homage to our shows.” Gripes Michigan J. Frog, “I’m still unemployed, ribbit.”

OOH, OOH, PICK ME!!! PICK ME!!

But she said “I will not be in a catfight … Women professionals need to perform as women professionals.”

On her replacement, Reynolds said, “It would be nice to see another African American professional, not an actress or comedian.”

Star, actually has handled her firing very well. Her interview today with Al Roker struck the perfect balance of “mistakes have been made and I will not dignify their comments with a response.”

I also love the seed of discord she sowed by mentioning that Elisabeth — the one co-host without any loyalties to Rosie O–sent her a “lovely letter.”

Crazy.

Of course, somewhere Debbie Matenpoulos is laughing her ass off.

PUT YOUR LIGHTERS UP

Lil Kim to be released for Fourth of July.

Lil’ Kim says she’ll be celebrating Independence Day early this year. The rapper, who was sentenced in September to a year and a day in prison for lying about a shootout outside a hip-hop radio station, is being released Monday, the day before July Fourth.
“I am thrilled to be coming home,” Lil’ Kim said Thursday in a statement issued by her publicist, Tracy Nguyen. “I thank all my fans for all their letters, as well as my family and friends for all their support throughout the past 10 months.”

WHO ARE YOU KIDDING, DAWN?

How on earth did you think “hmmm…I’ll just put on Buffy season two in the background while finishing up this memo,” was a good idea?

On a completely unrelated to my totally being up at 3 a.m. finishing this memo, BUFFY ROCKS.

Oh, they were sooo young. And angsty. And her mom was so alive.

That is all.

Will TV ever be this good again?

Snyder: “There are some things I can just smell…it’s like a sixth sense.
Giles: No…that’s one of the five.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

Giles: Punishing yourself like this is pointless.
Buffy: It’s entirely pointy.

Buffy: I’m an old fashioned gal. I was raised to believe that men dig up the corpses and women have the babies.

There was a lot of saving Cordelia’s ass in this season.

Seriously, so when I get fired, do you think Joss Whedon will take me in?

Absolutely, positively the last thing Ima say about Buffy…

I always thought I wanted to know the future. But watching season two…knowing how it all ends for Jenny and Buffy and Willow…it’s kinda sad. Knowing but not being able to do anything.

Glory was not as bad as I remembered.

OK…now this is the absolutely positively last thing: Dawn wouldn’t have been such a bad character if she didn’t have a voicebox…or lungs…no lungs Dawn would have been great.

Bawling “She saved the world. A lot. /Bawling

OK…memo now.

Can’t. Stop.

Willow Evil.

HAMAS SAYS NO MAS

Israel hits ministry; Hamas offers soldier

Gotta say…there is a lesson to be learned from the fact that the most famous pacifists in history were shot to death.

IT’S NOT EVEN MY SHORTEST-LIVED PHASE

I am so over juice in a bag.

UHH…ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER

A dancer and actress who claimed she was harassed for having large breasts and a serious toe injury while performing for the touring version of Broadway’s “Movin’ Out” musical is suing a stage actors’ union for more than $100 million.
