This morning I was riding my bike, unaware that the road was still covered by a treacherous icy glaze. So I slipped and landed on my side - which wasn't so bad. Then my bike landed on top of me - which wasn't so good. I just scraped my knee, though; it's a ridiculously tiny scrape, but it hurts like a bitch, so I skipped the gym today. But I want to go running again tomorrow. Shoulder hurts too, but I don't need that for running. And at least it's the left one, always preferable.

There's some mildly entertaining wank or other going on, about the Spuffy shippers being responsible for the season six storyline and the evils of television in general. Check
rahirah's journal for the shocking details.
(Why is no one ever blaming the C/A shippers for season three of Angel? Are we not important? Do we not matter?)
By the way, am I the only one who loved the Spike/Buffy storyline in season six? It seems to be equally disliked by all factions, from reading the comment threads. I mean, I'm not a shipper in that I very rarely read S/B fic, but I thought that storyline was great; dark, and convincing, and sexy. It's what pulled me into BtVS while I'd previously only been interested in AtS.

Hey, me too! :D I'd drifted away from BtVS, but S6 got me back into it.

Oooh, thanks for the steer! I've been falling behind on the Wank watching, what with having a house guest and all. Mmm, shipwank. It's my favorite flavor.
Sorry to hear about your wipeout. I think you should buy some absurdly expensive bath salts and soak for hours: that'll fix ya.

(form the OP:)
Season six of Buffy was my senior year of high school, which is to say 2002
Bwahahahaha! And that's all she wrote.

That's a good plan. For tomorrow... right now I'm still in the process of growing some new skin on my knee. How's your toe doing, anyway? Did you see a doctor? (Are we a bunch of old women or what ;)
I delighted in S6, and can't really get my head around why it's so universally loathed.
Maybe the fans who loathe it are just that much more vocal than the rest? Though it sure doesn't seem very popular. I don't get it either, I thought that was a whole season of very compelling writing. *shrugs* different strokes.
Season 7, I'm not so crazy about... I just saw so much wasted potential, particularly in the second half. They wasted whole episodes where not much new happened, while they could've wrapped up some of their subplots. I think they juggled too many balls and dropped quite a few, and they lost steam in the end. But even so, I still liked a lot of it. Still better than most everything else on the telly, anyway. Just the season as a whole, I found disappointing.
