My most bloggable present from Christmas was from my parents, who got me Buffy's Radio Sunnydale CD off my wishlist.
I resisted getting this soundtrack back when it first came out because I wasn't enamored by the number of songs on it. But the more and more I watch the show again, the more I wanted to have some of these songs that were unavailable elsewhere. Mainly the super Blue by Angie Hart (talked about getting it stuck in my head in this post). Some of the other songs are great, too (just noticing that the beginning of Bohemian Like You is reminds me of Real Gone by Sheryl Crow from Cars, LOL!) I already had purchased the Aimee Mann song on this album because I liked it so much, so I have two copies now!
There's also a Sarah McLachlan song on here that I couldn't easily get, The Prayer of St. Francis, and I love making my Sarah-collection more complete. Funny thing, this made me notice that somehow when I ripped my music in, Surfacing never made it in, so Full of Grace, another song used on a Buffy ep, wasn't on my computer. Most of the songs I liked from that CD were on Mirrorball, so I guess I hadn't noticed. Fixed now, Surfacing is all ripped.
While listening, I start digging for other Buffy-on-episode music that I didn't yet have that was available on iTunes, and I added a nice pile to my wishlist (Tip: for a low-tech personal wishlist in iTunes, just create a new playlist and drag the 30 second clips into it)
While Buffy Guide is the best overall site for anything related to specific episodes, I wanted to find a site that listed out the songs played in each episode rather than clicking through to each. I found Dusk 'till Dawn, which has a really nice short overview of each song, the artist, and the brief summary of when it plays for most of them. That works!
Oh, and I'm really excited right now about Buffy because right before Christmas, I used some Amazon gift certificates to finish up my collection when all the seasons were on sale. That was the 3 remaining Buffy's I needed and the 3 final Angel's, too. I'm adding them to my Vox when I finish them, and we'll be done with Season 2 of Buffy the next time we sit down to watch - I won't watch Becoming I without watching II at the same time, so it'll be a double feature :) We watched the one before those over the weekend, Go Fish, which is fun because it has not only Shane West (of ER, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), but Wentworth Miller (Prison Break) too :)
Pretty soon, I'm going to have to decide if I want to watch Buffy and Angel intermixed like they played on TV, or finish out Buffy and then start Angel. I hadn't thought of that until E said something, but the more I think about it, the more that makes sense for the timeline and the things that did cross over a little. That'd be 4 seasons worth that match up: Buffy 4/Angel1, Buffy 5/Angel 2, Buffy 6/Angel 3, Buffy 7/Angel 4.
I think I'll have to pick up Angel: Live Fast, Die Never at some point too, because even though most of it instrumental, it's got Christian Kane's LA Song too. ;)
And there's my fangirlyness that made me all happy even though I'm a bit worn out from the festivities!
Back in March, there was a QotD about TV shows on DVD, and I answered about the 3 seasons of shows that I owned so far. I got some recommendations in the comments, and I started watching sales at my fav stores for more sets I was wishing for.
We've found that now that we are cooking more, we enjoy sitting down to watching a Tv episode with our meals. Since we are only on the 1 dvd at a time through netflix deal, and our TiVo is upstairs so we don't watch anything new, the TV series that we own are the things we watch when we don't have a netflix movie/show to watch.
Right now, we own quite a few more than we did in March (3 vs 10 seasons!):
- 3 season of Roswell
- 2 seasons of Tru Calling
- Full season of Firefly
- 2 seasons of Buffy
- 2 seasons of Angel
Next up, we'll start in on season 3 of Roswell - we didn't have that one yet when we finished season 2, so we started on the next thing we did have. After that, Buffy and Angel even though we don't have the whole series on either.
In the meantime between the ones we own, we've been getting TV DVDs from Netflix. We watched 3 seasons of The 4400, and omg, love! I'm only sad that I didn't start watching it soon enough that I would have been able to watch season 4 in real time (I think it's just finishing up for the summer).
The 4400 is super and definitely fits my kind of show with some action, drama, and scifi all in one. I'm so glad quornflour thought to suggest it!
I think I'd like to see Sliders again. I faithfully watched the first few seasons, but then trailed off at the end. Another older series that might be cool would be Quantum Leap (since Journeyman is being touted as something similar and I like that concept a lot).
I've slowed down on buying TV on DVD, but I'm still watching for good deals on the series that need to be finished (Buffy - 5 more seasons - and Angel - 3 more seasons). I would like to own Heroes at some point too, super show that I know I'll enjoy rewatching (as judged by how excited I am still on Monday nights while they are playing reruns). No hurry, but it's sure nice to have such great options to watch!
Do you have any other suggestions along these type of shows for me? :)
Video: Show us your TV crush.
Submitted by quornflour.
There are too many. :D Sometime, it's a case of loving them because of the roles, and sometimes it's the downright sexy-ness that makes me crush on them.
Here's a few that I can't help but always love, very very sexy:
That's David Boreanaz of Angel and now Bones, and Steve Burton and Tyler Christopher of General Hospital. Definitely my favs!
A few others that I didn't track down photos for:
James Marsters of Buffy/Angel, no matter what color his hair is!
Christian Kane of Angel and Rescue 77
Shane West of ER, those cheekbones ohhhhh
Milo Ventimiglia of Heroes, who looked even more sexy in the Five Years Gone episode this week
Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell of Prison Break
(as soon as I save this entry, I'm going to think of more that I missed, I just know it!)
I have been known to crush on a few girls on shows too, some people just really wow me so much!
Show us something with wings.
Angels and fairies have wing and i have lots of them! This angel lost a wing and a foot last move. But she also has the distinction of being featured in a blog design, can you spot her?
Back when I watched everything on the WB, there was a promo video that I absolutely loved.
Features stars of Buffy, Angel, Dawson's Creek, Jack and Jill, Felicity, Charmed, 7th Heaven, Roswell, and more. This evening when I was reading feeds, I see that it was mentioned on PopCandy. I was so excited to see it again. Not too long ago, I found that this artist (thisway) had the song for sale on the iTunes Music Store and immediately added it to my shopping cart. Just because of this promo. :)
It was so nice to actually see it again. And realize just how many people I still love were featured. These are the people that I always have to try and see the movie if they are going to be on it, and I have wishlists in my TiVo for at least 5 of them. It was the start of me developing my love for series TV, the first years that I was on my own and could pick my own shows to watch. And watch I did, wowie ka-zowie. :)
Seeing this makes me sad for the end of the WB (coming up really soon), but I know that I haven't loved WB as much as I loved it in 1999 for a while anyhow!
