Jul. 31st, 2003

1. My brother is visiting. He's arriving tonight and leaving Sunday. Very cool.

2. I changed the style on my journal. Haven't decided whether or not that was a good idea yet.

3. My dad's birthday is next month. I already have a present, so yay for me for thinking ahead.

4. I seem to be working on a post-Chosen Willow and Oz story.

5. I've been fairly good about staying away from Angel spoilers lately. Hopefully, I can keep doing that. I only know a little bit about the first episode and even that might be something that's changed.

6. In fifty entries, I'll hit 3,000.

7. Still haven't rewatched Hero. I really should do that. But I just know I'll cry. A lot.

8. I can't seem to stay asleep at night. For the past week, I've been waking up every couple of hours. Then I have to make myself fall asleep again. It's getting annoying.

9. I really want to make new icons and yet... I feel uninspired.

10. I like slightly longer hair on guys. Not all guys, but as an example, I thought that Connor's hair was very hot. Not when he had it pushed back, which could make his forehead look huge, but when it was all around his face. Pretty.

This would be my first viewing for this episode.

Interesting (or, well, totally intentional) that we go from an episode about how Wesley had a sucky dad to an episode about Angel had a sucky dad. Look! They have things in common! And Angel had a great reaction to Wesley in IGYUMS re: father issues. He clearly wanted to cuddle Wes like many viewers who actually watched the episode instead of quitting the show in "I'll never forgive you for killing Doyle!" anger. I really like Angel in The Prodigal. I wonder if I would have started liking Angel sooner if I'd seen this episode, because it's hitting my family conflict buttons - which are the ones that make me end up loving DB in the Connor-arc.

And the Angel family servant was hot. She really was. Mmm.

Also, I love Kate. And Cordy looks so much better with dark hair. Also, eee! Darla!

"Tell me something that you don't know that I don't know." Hee!

Okay, the 'Evil Thing' conversation may have just killed me. "There are not-evil Evil Things?"

The conversation between Angel and Kate's dad is all kinds of ominous now.

"You got any kids, Angel?"
"No."
"Right. Then don't think you can know how a father feels. Or why he does the things he does."

The Liam/Father conversation very much reminds me of the Buffy/Joyce conversation.

"You go out that door, don't even think about coming back."

Of course, Buffy had very different reasons for leaving.

And this interested me, in light of how Wesley gets treated in late S3:
Angel: "...but sometimes, the price we end up paying for one bad choice isn't commensurate with the offense."

This icon? Will probably not be used on this journal (it's for an RPG... okay, the fact that it actually has RPG written on it probably gave that away). I just wanted to wave it around and call it pretty.

*waves icon*

Pretty!

Also, I do talk openly about real person slash on this journal. Always have, always will. I cut-tag overly long things, but I'm not going to censor myself.

It's been a while since I said anything like that, so I just wanted to make sure that everyone on my friendslist knows the score.
