I Suck At Buffy The Vampire Slayer

in addition to being my friend's (hot amy) birthday, today is the normal day i get to hang out with my friends (marc and kelley).

although he was never a diehard fan of buffy the vampire slayer, marc has lately been watching the buffy the vampire slayer spin-off "angel". i think his favorite episode of angel is "smile time" where angel turns into a puppet (which apparently can be purchased online).

(pictured below is the angel puppet from the episode.)


anyway, knowing that i had the entire buffy the vampire slayer series on dvd, marc came up with the idea to watch the entire series (and possibly the entire angel series on dvd) while we hang out... at least until "heroes" or "lost" comes back on television.

now i suck at buffy the vampire slayer. all right, so maybe that is a lie. buffy the vampire slayer is by far... one of my favorite shows ever. so, i wasn't about to disagree with his plan. karen, however, took some convincing because she gets easily scared. she gets scared watching lost too, but somehow she manages to get through the show.

needless to say, we convinced karen. the four of us almost made it through the first disc of season 1. watching the old episodes brought back such great memories. i don't remember how many times i have seen the episodes. when the show originally aired on the wb network, i remember watching the episodes twice a week simply because the episodes were on twice a week. of course, it didn't hurt that buffy was easy on the eyes too.

anyway, i love the show! if you were to ask marc, he would tell you that i was so giddy with excitement as we were watching the episodes. i was glued to the television... big grin on my face... the entire time.

ah... such a good show. i can't wait to watch the rest of the episodes (again).

"smile time" is one of my favorite episodes too! i've been looking for one of those puppets, but all the ones i found on ebay were either too expensive or fake. :(

you have opened up pandora's box, mike. i <3 buffy. i used to watch the show twice a week as well when it was on the wb. i had most of the episodes on tape (yes, tape), until i got all of the seasons on dvd.
