Life is life

- I am under a pile of enormous workload still but the end is nigh – the due date for the statistical return I am doing at the moment is 30 of September.. YAY!

- But my eyes are still a bit dodgy so I keep as much as possible off computer .

- I have booked stacks of holidays at the end of October and during the Christmas time (when I am going to drink punches near the fire and stay away from the maddening crowd) . YAY!

- It seems that we have reached a "penny drop" moment in doing math with Sasha because she seems to be doing better by the minute. YAY Sasha!

- And even more glee – she is going to start in the H. brass band at the end of October. May be they will give her euphonium? I am so keen on euphoniums! But may be not, it must be bigger than Sasha in size!

- The only thing I have been watching this week was "Buffy" (one must unwind after work :D) season 4 which for me is much much better then season 3. I think this is because though my high school days happened to be in the previous century my University days were not so long ago (1 year to be correct) and I can relate more. I just watched "Buffy Wants Beer" episode yesterday and it cheered me to no end, especially the moment where Buffy hit Parker at the end :D.

- Oh, and I also caught up with "The Legend" or "The story of first King's Four Gods on Tuesday (?). Fabulous story, it seems to have been quite a while since I have seen anything so coherent and well-thought through in Korean drama. I wonder if this is an adaptation?

Yay for Sasha and for the heavy workload to soon be finished. And holidays are always good. :)

As for Buffy - I think season four is very interesting, but season 5 is one of my favourites. Everything seems to come together in S5 - so I'll be looking forward to hearing what you think.

** wipes her brow ** We seem to have managed to get the statistical returns validated today.. YAY!

I am also should be getting Angel soon - squee! (Sorry for low intelligence of my replies - I am brain-dead!)

That's okay. ;) And yay for being finished with heavy workload. I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing weekend. :D

And I'm very much looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Angel.
(all your posts make want to see the series again. It's been quite some time since I last did that.)

I am mostly eating chocolates today and watching a Russian telenovella dangemousie was so kind to send me, "Bednaya Nastya" .

I hope I don't sound too critical about "Buffy" - I really like it!

Except for what they did with Riley his last few eps, I thought season 5 was the best season of Buffy.

OH!!!!! I am so inpatient to get to the season 5 now that you second!

Season 5 works on so many levels - both with outstanding single episodes, and with the whole season arc. It took me a few eps to get used to Dawn though.

I didn't like what they did with Riley either. I actually liked Riley! He was a decent guy who wasn't, you know, a cursed vampire or some such.

Well...Dawn was supposed to throw us for a loop...and dhe did.

Riley was a good character, he just wasn't a good long term BF for Buffy. I think that if they hadn't immediately set him up as a love interest for Buffy right after Angel left, he would have been much better received(rather like Jo's pre-buzz in Supernatural...)
