Hangin' with the Buffster

Well, as predicted, over the last couple of days I'm mostly blown off all the stuff I should be doing and instead spent large chunks of my free time watching Buffy. I've now made my way up through the episode "Band Candy," which was actually one of the very few third season episodes I'd already seen, but is definitely one that's worth watching again. And again. And occasionally freeze-framing.

Um. Where was I?

Yeah, well, anyway, I could go on about how great this show is, how clever the writing is, how sharp the dialog, how excellent the acting, and so on and so on, but I'd really only be repeating myself, so I won't.

I will say that, paradoxically, I actually find myself looking forward to getting the third season DVDs now more than ever. I'm deeply grateful for the loan of the tapes, but of course, they're taped off the TV, so the quality isn't always that great, and the editing is kind of glitchy. I want this entire series in beautiful, crisp, DVD quality! And I want it now!

Of course, once I get to thinking along those lines, I always start thinking about how I really need a better TV to do justice to that nice crisp DVD quality, which gets me to thinking that I also really need a decent sound system to go with the better TV, and the next thing you know, in my imagination, I've already spent a couple of thousand dollars... Stupid imagination.
