Buffy steps toward the door, but looks around and notices the Christmas lights that Faith has strung up around the room.
Buffy: (quietly approving) I like the lights.
Faith: Yeah. Well, 'tis the season. Whatever that means.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate.

I took today off, and did next to nothing with it - outside of baking chocolate chip cookies I didn't need to bake, and resting my knee. I think I just wanted to watch television, play Royal Match and veg?

Decided to do laundry either tomorrow or Friday. Knee needed a respite. Struggling with my diet still - chocolate chip cookies tends to spike blood sugar, so does fries. I had fixed lamb, asparagus, and fries for dinner. It was a good dinner, but not the best for my blood sugar. The holidays are hard for restricted diets.

Zigging back and forth between Angel and Buffy, has made me aware of a few things? ( Read more... )

It's time for bed. The year is slowly winding down again, isn't it? And once again we've sunk into winter. Although it was sunny today. I have the lights on my little christmas tree on. And I watched my UUA Church's service on my big screen television set via Youtube. It's easier that way. Plus I can see more - such as the musicians. I couldn't see a thing when I attended it in person last year. (I won't do that again. Too crowded.) I don't get the little chocolate Christmas bells they handed out - but I didn't want or need them either. I think they gave chocolate coins, a little thing of perfume, and something else last year - to symbolize the gifts of the three kings (for the past several years the Magi had been the general theme), this year immigrants and angles were the general theme.

And it was topped off by a rendering of this song Huddled Masses. Listen to it, and I dare you not to cry. It's very moving, and particularly now.

At work yesterday, my cubicle mate did her busy holiday dance. This is when someone feels the need to tell me how busy they are, and all the things they are doing and have to do - like a little spinning top that can't stop spinning. I told her to just focus on one task at a time, stop thinking of all the things she needs to do, and break it down bit by bit.

The Department Wide Holiday Party that was held on Monday apparently ran out of food about fifteen minutes into the Party. People had to go out and get food on their own. They also ran out of bowls, and utensils. And all they had food wise was pizza (it was good pizza apparently from Adrienne's), salad (a small side salad), and a bowl of pasta. When cubicle mate left - they were hunting for bowls to serve the pasta. Cubicle mate was able to score one of the remaining two slices of pizza, which were small slices. In short, I missed nothing. The party on my own floor was better catered.

On that note - off to bed.

Sleep deprived and off to bed, after doing a bit of a brain dump

Dec. 23rd, 2025 09:27 pm

[personal profile] shadowkat
Taking tomorrow and Friday off, and get Xmas Day off of course - it's a Federal and State Holiday in the US.

Happy to have the break at last - work has become infuriatingly tedious of late. Needless to say, I'm burnt out, and desperately need a break from all of it. Also the commute is playing havoc with my right knee, and I've been sleeping poorly as a result.

I hope to do knee exercises, and maybe get some watercolors and writing done. Lately, I've become addicted to Royal Match on my phone. Only one problem with it? It costs money - or I get tempted to expend small amounts for more tries. I need to find a game with no costs and no ads. The Majhong game's pop up ads kept freezing the game and my Iphone. See? This is why I'm not much of a gamer. I should try the board game link.

Pondering Buffy S5 and Angel S2 today - and in my rewatch, I picked up something that in hindsight, is relatively obvious. It's a television trope that I've actually seen a lot since Buffy/Angel aired, but not as much prior. I think the series may have influenced a lot of writers to play with it. What it is - is the bait and switch, or mislead the audience into thinking this is going to happen, but do something else entirely. Otherwise known as the hairpin plot twist. It's hard to pull off well, without annoying the audience. The writers of Buffy and Angel tried to pull it off in just about every episode of the series and in the seasonal arcs.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Like I said - it's hard to pull off.
( Read more... )

I keep writing about this because I can't figure out how to articulate my thoughts on it. And keep thinking, perhaps erroneously, that writing it out will help.

**

Working my way through Angelica Huston's Memoir - which I keep forgetting the name of. Ah found it - A Story Lately Told - Coming of Age in Ireland, London and New York. It's well written and narrated. Listening to it on audible.

Gave up on "Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem" and went back to T Kingfisher's novel "What Moves the Dead". I like Kingfisher's writing style (possibly because it's very close to my own and I don't have to work that hard to read it? I've learned recently that reading a writing style that is close to my own style is easier for me to process, than one that is alien to it - or very different from it. Because of what I do for a living, and the amount of legal and technical reading I do - I have a tendency to skim formal writing, and disconnect from it. The more formal it is - the less likely I will be able to remember what I've read, without re-reading it five or six times.) It has a lot to do with dyslexia - I think? Formal writing has a tendency to make my eyes glaze over, and my focus shift away from the text.

Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem - has a formal writing style - in that the writer is trying to copy a formal British style of writing, most likely from the Victorian period. While I respect this choice? I wish they wouldn't. It makes it hard for me to stay focused on their story.

I can actually write in more than one style. I've been trained to do so, and can shift on a whim. I often do in these posts. I just prefer the casual or conversational writing style - it's easier for me to write in and to read. YMMV. People don't process information the same way or read the same way.

***

Off to bed, and hopefully to sleep. I need sleep. Been averaging 5 and a half hours the last couple of nights.

WESLEY Angel does have a point. Spike has been unintentionally disapparating more and more frequently.
GUNN Give him 20 minutes. He'll be popping up next to you in the bathroom, making cracks about your—(looks at Wesley) Am I the only one he does that to?
FRED I know he's done this before, but you saw the way he was acting. Something's different this time. He's agitated, hallucinating.
GUNN Ghosts can do that?
WESLEY We are dealing with a unique case here as far as manifestations go. Dementia isn't completely out of the question.
FRED He's not crazy.
GUNN Screaming about people who aren't there? That's grounds for involuntary committal under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act which states— Oh, sorry. Sometimes the law they stuffed in my noggin just clicks on.

Can't think of a bloody title...

Dec. 22nd, 2025 09:07 pm
shadowkat: (Default)
[personal profile] shadowkat
Resting my knee tonight, so didn't do the exercises - did ice it, also did exercises at work. Also took a longer walk than I should have? I wanted to see if Trinity Church, Printemps, and NYSE had been dressed up at all for Xmas. It had, but minimalist in style. The over-blown festive decorations are apparently saved for Dyker Heights, my apartment complex lobby, and Midtown Shopping District. The Financial District is well...not exactly spendthrift when it comes to Christmas decor - and errs on the tasteful and minimalist side of the fence?

( The Financial District, Trinity Church and NYSE at Christmas Time )

After the walk - which included an ill advised journey to Insomiac Cookies, which was alas closed - my right knee/leg was killing me. It was my own fault - if I'd ended it five to ten minutes sooner, I'd have been fine. Plus it was cold outside. ( Would have been nice if Insomina Cookies had warned me that they were closed this week.) And I didn't even get any chocolate chip cookies. I wanted my cookies. Instead I bought a chocolate bar - which resulted in high blood sugar, the cookies were the better bet.

On the plus side (knee wise, at least) - I managed to schedule an MRI for January 4 at the Brooklyn location, and on a Sunday morning, no less. Go me. So not quite as far as the Manhattan one, and less steps. Also a followup appointment with the orthopedist at 2:30pm on January 9 (Friday). I'll probably have to take the day off. Unfortunately. Either that or take two hours of comp time. I only have 10 hours of comp time remaining. Currently have a PT appointment scheduled at 4:30pm after it, which I might cancel or try to reschedule. So got it a lot faster than expected.

2. Gave up on the Larry Silverstein book - the narrator was speaking in a monotone, and I was having troubles following it. Jumped over to Tim Curry's autobiography entitled "Vagabound" - which Curry was reading himself, only one small problem? He'd just suffered a stroke. After about an hour and a half, I gave up. I can't do 10 hours of that - it was painful listening to him. So, I jumped over to Angelica Huston's autobiography/memoir, The Story of Me - which is a two party, and read by Huston, to high acclaim. She has a lovely voice, and it's beautifully written. Also very interesting - since she talks about her parents, the acclaimed actor, film director and writer, John Huston, his wife a prima ballerina, his father, an acclaimed actor, and their friends. It talks a lot about old Hollywood - during the 1950s. I just finished a chapter, where she talks about how her father, along with Edward G. Robinson, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, etc - formed an organization supporting the First Amendment - to speak out against the McCarthy Hearings and the infamous Hollywood Blacklist. This also resulted in Huston leaving the US, and filming outside of it, and living outside of it for the remainder of his life. Huston married Angelica Huston's mother when he was 40 years of age, and her mother was 18 years of age, and a prima ballerina at the premier ballet company in the US which later became the NY Ballet.

Angelica Huston doesn't tell so much as show? She relates the facts, and lets the reader figure it out. Reminds me of Paul Newman's memoir in that respect. It's well written.

3. Progressing along in my rewatch of Buffy S5. Some takeaways, after seeing I was Made to Love You and Crush.
( still pondering the contradictions in Crush and in IWMTLY )

Plot Contrivance Issues with the Buffy Episode Crush...

Dec. 21st, 2025 05:36 pm
shadowkat: (Default)
[personal profile] shadowkat
Haven't done much today - groceries, stayed off the knee, did exercises, and watched things on television. It was a pretty day, if a little cool - although define cool? It was in the low forties, upper thirties, which is relatively balmy in comparison to what it has been of late.

The All Birds slippers arrived at Mother's, finally, she tried them on - and they fit. She likes them. Yay! (Allbirds doesn't wrap it's items, so..).

Finished watching Angel S2 episodes Reunion (9) thru Blood Money (12) (all heavy on the noir themes, we even prior to Reunion have the heist episode, where everyone turns on each other. Each episode has a twist). It's made clear in these episodes that Angel is neither good nor evil, more in the grey area. He doesn't care about his friends, or that much about anyone really - outside of destroying WRH and Darla/Dru. This is kind of important - in regards to Buffy (after watching episodes 8-13) because while Angel is swinging more and more towards that dark grey area, Spike is swinging more and more towards that lighter grey area. The two characters are going in opposite directions, and the one going towards the dark side - has a soul.

Then along comes Episode 14 of Buffy S5, Crush by David Fury and guest starring Juliet Landau (as Dru) and Mercedes McNab (as Harmony). This is a confusing and a mixed bag of an episode, and doesn't quite play the way the writer intended. (It's so far off in places, that I wonder if David Fury has seen the previous five episodes? Or watched Angel? It's also very heavy handed in spots, to the point in which I was laughing at the writing and not with it. David Fury is a lot of things, but subtle isn't among them. His dialogue can be heavy handed at times?)
( glaring plot contrivances in Crush - why does Buffy not know Spike is into her, and more importantly why didn't she stake him at the end of Crush? )

Not sure anyone read through that ramble. I'm rewatching these because they don't require much focus, are entertaining, and I don't remember them well enough to be bored.

ETA: in rewatching Angel S2 - halfway through there's something goofy going on with Cordelia's hair. ( WTF is going with Cordy's hair or the hazards of working on a television serial )

Saturday is just hanging about, and doing a meme

Dec. 20th, 2025 05:45 pm
shadowkat: (Default)
[personal profile] shadowkat
Feeling a little accomplished? I got my new LEVOIT Humidifier set up in the living room. It covers about 600-700 sq feet of space. I was also able to set it far enough away from appliances, walls, and put a plastic foam yoga mat beneath it. It looks nice actually. Better than the fan I'd set up there previously - and is currently taking up space in the pantry closet. (I keep meaning to clean out that closet, but I can only do sections of it, and most of it - will just have to wait until the damn knee heals.)

Currently robot vacuuming, while my light Xmas lights twinkle. One may need a battery replacement soon. It's getting dark earlier now - although it feels like the same time? Around 4:50pm.

It's cold today, I guess? I've not been outside the apartment? But the sky was blue, and barely a cloud creased the horizon.

The shoes I bought mother - finally arrived on her doorstep, just in time for Xmas. But the paperback book that I bought her - has no delivery date and has yet to appear, and seems to be perpetually stuck somewhere in the USPS postal system. Annoying, but hardly worth fretting over - it was only $20. If it is never delivered, I'll get a refund. It's kind of amusing, that Amazon which started out as a book distribution organization - has managed to misplace a book.

Dreadfully behind on the Question a Day Mememage - so below:

December Question a Day Mememage

12. Do you have a range of different glasses for different types of drinks or just one type?

Not really. I tend to grab whatever is available for the most part. I have a couple of metal glasses, and a tall green glass, that I use a lot. But mainly I drink out of a variety of water bottles.

13. When you open your front door to a guest, what is the first item (apart from you!) that they see when they come inside?

The rug on the floor before the pantry door. I have a long foyer hall, with no real views of the rooms within, which I adore. Provide much more privacy than my old apartments did.

14. What’s your favourite type of biscuit/cookie? Ever made biscuits/cookies at home from scratch (for example at Christmas)?

Chocolate chip. Sometimes double chocolate chip. Yes. As a child, we made and decorated sugar cookies (don't any longer). Also about twenty different kinds of cookies.

Made chocolate chip all the time when I was growing up and well into my forties. I have some wonderful childhood memories revolving around cookie making. In recent years? I've made gluten free - which are harder to do well. Actually if you can pull off gluten free cookies that are low in sugar, and vegan - you are ahead of the game.

(Biscuits in the US - look like THIS.)

15. Do you have any maple syrup? What’s your favourite way to use it?

Yes. Pancakes

16. Do you still use post-it notes to remind you of things?

At work, yes, but not as often as before.

17. Do you use a tablecloth on your dinner table?

Don't own a dinner table [no room], so no.

18. Have you ever been ice skating?

Yes, many many times. But not recently. Not really a fan?

19. What’s the last thing that made you laugh out loud?

Buffy, I think? I've been rewatching. Actually something mother said on the phone.

20. Have you ever had to wear a neck tie?

Not that I recall - maybe once as a costume?

Friday took the day off for physical therapy and watched Buffy to comfort itself

Dec. 19th, 2025 08:47 pm
shadowkat: (Default)
[personal profile] shadowkat
Took the day off, had physical therapy ("PT") at 2 pm. Slept until 8 am, took a shower, made breakfast (fried eggs - sunny side up, fresh raw spinach, and grits), iced leg, did knee exercises, and watched several Buffy S5 episodes. (I'd forgotten a lot of it - so it was bingeable.)
( Me rambling on about Buffy S5 episodes Fool for Love through Into the Woods )

Someone on Twitter asked - if you could only pick one vampire series from these four vampire series to keep - "Buffy, Angel, Vampire Diaries, and Interview with a Vampire" - which would it be? ( Read more... )

Listened to a bit more of the Juliet Landau Revamped podcast - and what works for me are her interviews with fellow castmates, producers, directors, writers, etc. She's an excellent interviewer. Also her insight on backstage tricks of the trade, and the process of filming. What does not work are the "Dru" commentary (which is annoying - a little Dru, goes a long ways), and the navel-gazing regarding her dysfunctional parents. ( Read more... ) But other folks are loving it, subscribe to it, and pay for it, so what do I know?

Latest on the reboot - is no, no one else in the original cast has been contacted. They have to get the pilot off the ground first. They do it differently now? They shoot and air the pilot, as a movie, if it takes off, then they order more episodes, and air those, usually just six to ten episodes, if they work, then so on. Right now - they just asked for the pilot.

I don't know. What they may not realize - is the fandom loves the original cast and has their own ideas what they want to see? And it may be diametrically opposed to what the fans writing and producing the pilot and continuation want to see? The Buffy fandom like all fandoms is kind of fractious?
***

Finished the Paul Newman Memoir and onto the Larry Silverstein one about the fight to rebuild the world trade center. Larry is 93 years of age. I didn't realize that, until I started listening to the book and realized he met his wife Klara in the 1954. He was 70 when the Twin Towers fell. He's writing about the struggle he had to rebuild them - in his 70s. So far, my main take away, is there has to be a specific spot in hell just for all the real estate developers on the planet. Although it is interesting - learning all about real estate development in the 1950s and 1990s, also the pitfalls of working with big government agencies like the NY State Port Authority.

***

PT was frustrating. ( Read more... )

Did manage to make it to Union Grocery on Court St. ( Read more... )

And it rained heavily this morning between 6am and 10 am. Then stopped. Sun came out. Then got gloomy and rained briefly after 3pm. It's windy now. I'm staying in and off the knee the rest of the weekend, except for knee exercises.


Off to bed.

Neurodivergent Rights...

Dec. 17th, 2025 09:07 pm
shadowkat: (Default)
[personal profile] shadowkat
Found on Face Book of all places:

Apparently, I'm neurodivergent - since I have a grab bag of a lot of these:

Image

For those who can't see it? It breaks down visual and audio coordination issues into categories:

1. Dyscalculia - Difficulty with visual/spatial coordination, counting, doing numbers in sequence or sequencing (example? Unable to count by sevens), difficulty working word problems...

2. Dyslexia - difficulty reading aloud, mis-pronouncing words (often substituting words or finding another word), difficulty reading aloud, problems retrieving words, difficulty with writing or spelling, slow and labor intensive reading

3. Dysgraphia - symptoms include cramped/sore hand, poor spatial planning of sentences and margins, frequent erasing, inconsistent letter and word spacing, poor spelling and missing words and letters

4. Dyspraxia
Symptoms include: difference in speech, perception problems, poor hand-eye coordination, poor balance and posture, clumsiness, fatigue.

Better late than never, I guess? But I wish this information was more accessible and prevalent in the 20th Century and early 00s? Along with the advocacy.

Wesley: "The shroud was woven by the head priest, said to have been driven mad by the demon himself. Once Rahmon was defeated the priest dyed the shroud with the blood of seven virgin women sacrificed on the first full moon. Then laid it upon Rahmon's body in order to prevent his resurrection."
Cordy: "Why is it always virgin women who have to do the sacrificing?"
Wesley: "For purity, I suppose."
Cordy: "This has nothing to do with purity. This is all about dominance, buddy. You can bet if someone ordered a male body part for religious sacrifice the world would be atheist (snaps her fingers) like that."
