So did you all notice that we're already more than a month into 2011? I'm not entirely sure how that happened. Valentine's Day is coming up soon, and a friend and I have decided to celebrate by inviting some other single friends over to eat pizza and watch action movies. Because nothing says Valentine's Day like exploding cars! :)

I've been watching A LOT of Buffy and Angel lately. I'm midway through seasons 5 and 2. I've really started to like Spike. In season 2, I didn't really get it why he was so popular, but I get it now. Mostly he's amazingly snarky, which is a great contrast from the frequent broodiness of the Buffyverse. Spike being forced to live with Giles and Xander last season was awesome, as are this season's Spike flashbacks. (Floppy hair! Hee.) Anya and Cordelia have also both become surprisingly fun, though I don't really get the point of Tara. She's... boring.

Unrelated, but how weird is it that it keeps snowing in the south? Actually, I feel like it just keeps snowing everywhere that isn't here. We did have one small storm, but that's it. Of course, that was enough to knock out the power at my house for two days—and we were some of the lucky ones that didn't have to wait four days. We did have heat, thanks to the next door neighbor's generator, and a nice outdoor refrigerator. Still, it was annoying.

I'm reading another terrible YA novel. If I manage to actually finish it (I think it is more horrible than The Eternal Ones) you can expect a review of Tiger's Curse to follow.

Oh, noes! I do love your reviews of bad books, because it means I know to avoid them, so you are providing an important service. But you should get to read good ones instead!

Yes, Spike is amazing. I had a huge crush on him in high school. And it totally started around season 5ish. When Dru was around, they were annoying. But as soon as she was gone, his character got more interesting.

Tara was always kind of boring (I always missed Oz). But stick with it. That's all I will say on that matter.

Your V-Day plans sound great. I am in denial that V-Day is even happening, and have been buying Easter candy instead.

Sucks about all your snow storms. I'm not even going to tell you about our awesome sunny weather out here. Woops.

Is it better to watch Buffy and Angel simultaneously? I've really wanted to get into but I much prefer the characters in Buffy. But then again, when Buffy showed up in the Angelverse in Season 4 I had no idea what was going on. Damn crossovers!

Single Vday nights with awesome friends are amazing!

I never really dug Tara, either.

Read those books I told you about! They are not horrible!

Hey, the town where I live needs a new teen librarian. Are you qualified to do that? You can live in our guest room.
