Stupid holiday. Too much work over the next few days.

If you didn't watch Buffy last night, you missed another great episode. There was SO MUCH.

Back on Monday.

Angel moving to Wednesday? Wow, the WB made such a big deal about moving it and Charmed to Sunday.

It'll be taking the place of Birds of Prey, which has been cancelled.
Wowzers, "Sleeper" was a great episode. Megakudos to James Marsters for another great performance.

In Buffy action figure news, the Riley Finn figure (which I'm hoping will have Amazing Nekkidness Action) that was supposed to be released with Phase 4 has been postponed to Phase 5. Phase 4 will now have a new Anya with Tara and an updated Willow.

The next release will have Riley with D’Hoffryn, Adam and Giles as a Fyarl demon.

Second set of Angel figures will be Wesley, Darla and Lorne. Lorne! No home is complete without a Lorne action figure displayed. But just so Lorne doesn't feel like an oddball, I recommend picking up a D'Hoffryn and Giles-as-Fyarl-demon.

The link also mentions that Angel season 1 will be released here in the US on February 11, the first time I've seen a date attached. Hooray! I'll finally be able to experience Doyle.

From an interview with Fabian Nicieza at the Dark Horse comics Buffy Zone: "I'd LOVE to see Buffy vs. Predator. I'd also love to see Buffy and Batman."

Are there a lot of undead in Gotham? Would Batman end up in Sunnydale somehow? That could be fun. Batman whips out some very expensive, very complex gizmo to battle a vamp. Buffy uses a pencil. Batman would be so pissed.

[link = spoilery] Fray #7 is scheduled for release on December 4. Fray #8 (the conclusion) is set for December 26 release.

Thanks to wonderful Jean, I get to see the Buffythat I missed last week. Hooray! She made a copy of the episode for me.
My second, part-time job is in a video store. I used this week's movies allowance to see films I've never seen but keep meaning to:

Twelve Angry Men, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and A Streetcar Named Desire.

It is so difficult to watch A Streetcar… without cutting up, especially with lines and songs from The Simpsons' "Oh, Streetcar!"

I felt that I needed to bring home some classics and Oscar® Winners to balance out the four PS2 games I brought home last week ("Deus Ex: Conspiracy," by the way, is a kick ass game).
