Random recs...

Just a few things I thought people might be interested in:

[livejournal.com profile] thedeadlyhook had lots of lovely long discussions in her LJ yesterday about all things S6 because of this post. Have a look, there are some very, very clever threads!

And whenever S6 is brought up, I always feel the need to rec one of the best posts ever on S6 Buffy and Spike. (By [livejournal.com profile] the_royal_anna so you might all know it already - I just feel in a pimping mood today!).

This morning [livejournal.com profile] vampirefever very kindly linked to an interview with JM. If you've ever wondered why Spike always came across as a sex-god, now you can find out! ;)
ETA: Picked up my own copy of Metro this afternoon on the bus! :) I'm such a sad little fangirl!


Is there anyone out there who doesn't know about Three Deep? If not, go check it out now. Personally I can't wait until May 3rd!


Completely unrelated to anything else - just found out that Little Miss M has friday-monday-tuesday off! That means 5 days at home! And I've just managed to return the house to a state of tidiness... maybe I could lock the children in their bedroom and not let them out until they've tidied it?

OMG, that's a great interview! Thanks for the link.

This was a great post. :0)

It's very strange being in the Buffy fandom when I'm not a fan so much anymore. This is entirely because I don't watch the show at all now. How do I know this? Because when I watched that kick-ass trailer to Three Deep - my pupils got so big I looked like Puss in Boots. :0D Sometimes I forget (especially with shaved JM wandering around out there) just how shockingly special Spike is...and how much I really love Buffy. So thanks for that!

That interview with JM was really good. I thought his answers were thoughtful and kind. He could have easily said we're all nutbars, even just joking, but he didn't. I think he's so right about the show taking us away from the greyness of our lives. That's a little sad I suppose, but odds are we're never going to be Slayers who have sex with vampires, you know what I mean? I think even if our lives were wholly satisfying, we'd still ache for the myth. Hey, here I am being deep in your LJ! Go Team Me!

The reason Spike took off was because me and my then girlfriend were having the most outrageous sex I've ever had in my life and I felt like the tallest man in the world. It was just dripping off me.

::head explodes:: That actually explains a lot, doesn't it? Makes perfect sense to me. Where do I send the thank you card to his ex?

PS Send your kids over here. My house was never clean to begin with.

You were engaged after 6 days!?!?!? WOW. ::whistles::

Thank you so much for the links - wow! You're a special person. *g*
I loved this quote:
I suggest people avoid Juilliard as it will sap the fun out of any young artist they get their hands on.
Heee! I'd love to say that about bad experiences I had, but never would because I would be afraid of karmic or normal retribution. I'm not sure to worry for his sanity, or applaud him for his straight-talkin'.

You are.
I shall wait with baited breath! :)

Oooh, thank you so much for the recs. I downloaded a clip quite awhile ago in which an interviewer asked James about strange fan mail. He seemed very uncomfortable with the question at first, but he managed to turn it around so that his answer was complimentary to his fans, with no horror stories of stalkers. I was amazed at how gracious he was, 'cause you know he's gotta get some very disturbing stuff now and then.

The "outrageous sex" story squicks me a bit, though, because James' girlfriend at the time, Liz Stauber, had just graduated from high school; James was 34.

Didn't know his girlfriend was so young... I've never really studied his lifestory in that much detail! Ah, well, we live and learn.

Heh. It's possible that the extent of my knowledge of James Marsters trivia borders on the scary end of the fangirl spectrum.

I'd been hearing about the new Tea at the Ford project but hadn't heard the name or seen the trailer (and nice artwork on that banner too!) The trailer made me chuckle, should be an interesting project to watch.
