- 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?

I liked the first season of "Buffy the vampire slayer" , I loved the season two but when I got to the season three there is not an episode passing by without me being cranky about one thing or another (and I am on episode 3X19 now – "Choices"). But I still in love with the show none the less. :D I think the problem for me is that my teen years are long gone and forgotten and that my POV is not the one this show was made for..

My thought on season 3, illustrated )

Episode by episode and I am already at the end of the season 2 of "Buffy the vampire slayer" and head-over-the-heels in love with it. It got under my skin :D

This season was wonderful all arond, but the most fabulous episodes for me were:

Killed by Death OMPH. So fabulously scary.

Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered So incredibly funny.

I have few little niggling things I must spill out ..But again, I must say that I love the show and the characters so these are just tiny things that don't spoil anything at all.. )

But there are many, many things that I loved very much in this season and among them: )

I have finished a half of the first season of "Buffy the Vampire slayer". So far so good. I am afraid to miss a word as every word and every phrase seem to be beyond awesome. So much fun and wit were the last seen in 19th-century books. :D Oh, I think I like "Buffy.." to bits but I have few questions:

1. Buffy is incredibly pretty and perky.. but it seems that she is at least 3 dress sizes and 4 chest sizes larger in this first season then in the season 6. And here comes my pet rant ..I think Buffy looks gorgeous just like this – tiny but curvy and kick-ass, very much like Scully in the first season of X-files. Why oh why (again) all TV heroines have to undergo slimming? This happened to Scully in X-files, this happened to Rose in "Doctor Who" too..?
