Speaking of Soundtracks

Great idea, Rusty! Yes, everyone should visit on B&S day. Or, any day for that matter! And we can all go to Emo's and make wishes on our rock 'n roll stars. In a couple of weeks South by Southwest starts. We didn't go last year. The first night we tried to get in to see a show (Dressy Bessy at Emo's), they turned us away because we didn't purchase the almighty (and expensive) wristband. This year we've talked about forking over the big bundle of cash, but we haven't made it down to the ticket outlet yet. I just can't bear to miss all the awesome shows again. Calvin will be there this year, as will Chicks on Speed and Add N to (X). Dressy Bessy makes a return engagement and Holly Golightly will cross the Atlantic.

I don't mind so much the after-school-special-ly episodes of Buffy. They still prove to keep me glued. The writers played Willow's "problem" rather heavy-handedly. But I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to both Buffy and Angel. And I look forward to The Watcher spin-off. Jason, did you mention that it is to be a BBC-produced show? Does that mean we won't get to see Giles unless we move to England or buy a super-duper hi-tech digital cable outfit like Liza and Rusty have?

We bought the Buffy game and played it for the first time last Sunday. Lots of fun for not a lot of money! Eric played Evil and I played Good. Good prevailed (and with little difficulty, I should add). We're going to have to devise some house rules though, especially if we're playing with just two people. Eric didn't think it was fair that if you play Good you get Buffy, Willow, Xander and Oz and all their cool cards; whereas if you play Evil, you're only able to do evil deeds with your four cards and maybe an artifact card. He got a little testy when Buffy kicked the poop out of the Master and managed to save the world once again.

Rusty, the robot needs a soundtrack.
