*  It's funny, I can get more worked up about the ancillary political debates surrounding the BtVS comics than the fact that within the comic
Buffy is a robot.



I mean, I'm fully aware of the problematic subtext of 'woman loses control of her own body" (hence the ancillary political arguments) but the fact that Joss pulled a 'gotcha!" or that he truncated a Spuffy discussion so that--as ever--it remains unfinished, Buffy's feelings remain opaque, and arguably no interaction at all may have taken place (depending on certain factors regarding Buffy). 

Well that's just.. typical.



* Zoe was trembling this morning when I tried to leave the house.  I'm not sure whether she's ill (she did throw up during the night, but she didn't appear at all ill this morning when I woke her up for her walk).  SHe got wet this morning on her walk because of all the dew (quite wet) and she did lay down on her bed in my bedroom where I had the ceiling fan running (because it was HOT last night.  OMG is it really just March?  I almost turned on the air conditioning) so maybe she got cold?  Mom came over to check on her and she said that she's not trembling and has eaten, had water, and played since I left so maybe it was nothing.  Still it was concerning.



* It's hot again today.  When I went out for lunch my car was HOT.  It's only MARCH!



* Not a lot was on tv last night.  "Modern Family" was 'eh'.  Patricia Heaton has sapped my enjoyment from "The Middle."  "Happy Endings" was rather forgettable.  And "Daily Show" and "Colbert" were only so-so.



*sigh*  Ennui.

I can imagine.

We've been hitting the lower to mid 70s the last few days and the trend is supposed to continue next week. I shudder to think what July/August will be like if this keeps up.

Yeah, I went out at lunch time to take a walk, and at first I was all 'please don't let it rain!", but about halfway through I was kinda hoping for a cooling shower. LOL

Aww, poor Zoebabe. But yeah, she probably got chilled. Cache often comes in from his morning outing shivering a bit.

Pip, my little rat terrier, often comes in shivering when she gets wet. Doesn't stop her from wanting to go out and run after the ball.

OK, I admit I'd like to read the Buffy conversation. I'm so out of fandom, where does one go?

I'm so tired of GOTCHA storytelling. Ever since they revealed that dismemberment cover, I knew that was what was going down. Not in a specific sense, but the game of GOTCHA was clearly on. The writers are still having fun with WTFery. It's Cordelia 2.0 where we didn't know it wasn't really Buffy, but it is, but she's pregnant, but wait is she pregnant?

At what point does postmodernity deconstruct itself into nothingness? Now Joss keeps revisiting his own stories and retelling them rather than looking to the wider 'verse of literature for primary inspiration. He keeps deconstructing his own uber specific rendition of this story and it's just gotten to the point that I can't emotionally engage.

He's gone down the rabbit hole, but I don't there's another side, it's just the same story with the presentation changed. And I'm tired of it.

Also, it was hot here, too. 80 degree weather in March? WHUH?

Buffy's a robot? I think Joss has lost his teeny little mind. Also, I think people are right and Zoe was chilled. Puppies don't always regulate their body temperatures perfectly.
