The cure for the winter time blues is.....


that's right....."Buffy". The all American- vampire fighting- just wants to be a "normal" girl- super fighting- super strength- Superhero. Not that I would want to have to fight evil all the time but wouldn't it be cool to be Buffy for a day. It would be Awesome to have to strength and power, needless to say the skinny girly body that can wear whatever she wants.

Buffy has now entered the realm of favorites that I can watch over and over. Not many make this list. Buffy ranks up there with: "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", "Hot Fuzz" and "Shawn of the Dead", " V for Vendetta", and disaster movies like "Inferno" "Day After Tomorrow" "10.0" and it's sequal "10.5".

My favorite "good" character is either Anya or Giles and of course favorite "bad" character just has to be Spike.  Of course these terms change and are transparent throughout the series.  It's something for a show that came from a B rated movie to have made it 7 seasons.  It surprised me.  In reality, I was the person who made fun of the people who were so devoted to the show when it was in prime time.  That is until I watched a few episodes from  middle seasons.  Deep down I did not want to admit that I really did like them and wanted more more more.  So in secret I would get up early or tape reruns of the show to view when no one was around.  When I finally came out of the "Buffy closet", I got others hooked.  So this Christmas, since it was so on sale, I picked out the first 4 seasons for a present from my sister to me.  The remaining 3 we bought shortly after, meaning I had the entire series for viewing anytime.  Since, I have hooked my bestest friend Rebekah and my husband Troy into watching them with me.  All vacation we have watched, (except Rebekah who is getting them soon), stayed up too late, ending the night with Troy saying "another"...........
No wonder my sleep pattern is so off.  Not to mention the weird, I really don't want to wake up because its like a movie, dreams.
