We have snow.

[elisi]

It's not quite Snowmageddon, but it's very pretty. (It's sort of been there since the start of the week, but only enough to make everything all frosted. Now it's actually settling.)

Tonight we decided we'd have a nice family evening, watching a film of some kind and eating marshmallows and other goodies. Darcy thought that maybe The Avengers might be on Netflix. Instead he found Daria - dunno if it's been there all along, or if it's a new addition. Either way, we watched the first four episodes, and the girls are all hooked. We are very happy, and feel that we are succeeding in this whole parenting lark. :) (There's also a heavy case of nostalgia, of course, but... Daria! ♥)

DARIA!!!!

Only ever caught the odd fragment of that show; but I loved every second I could get my tired, cynical TV eyes on.

*sighs* That's Daria, not me ;-)

Ray.

I never watched it in any kind of order, but I too loved everything I could find...

*is nostalgic*

(Funny how well it holds up. The only major change is mobile phones, I'd say.)

Web Series you should check out

It's funny; sweet & I'm waiting for the 3rd series and wishing I had money to donate to it. I like to think Willow & Tara would watch it too.

Good morning, btw :-)

Ray.

Good morning! And thanks for the link. (Like the Jacob vs. Edward btw. *g*)

J vs E?

Oh hang on; I get what you mean :-)

Really not the first thing that comes to mind, those characters.

It just struck me as a nice way of playing with the theme. :)

SOOOO much love for Daria. And it gets better as it goes along; the flesh out the other characters. I'm a fan of the fashion club, and of Trent.

But Daria herself is my favorite!

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Who wouldn't be a fan of Trent?

[elisi]

I never watched it in order, so that is something I look forward to. :)

(Oh and I posted fic - see previous entry!)

[speakr2customrs.livejournal.com]

I only know Daria from the Buffyverse crossover fic 'April 10, 1997' at 'Twisting the Hellmouth' - one of the best Buffyverse stories ever written but a little confusing to me at first because I'd never even heard of Daria before.

[elisi]

Oooooh, it;s marvellous. Although confusing, I can imagine, if you have no idea what it is. :)

OMG, DARIA!!! I MISS HER!! She was so damned AWESOME!! *Grins*

Hope the snow doesn't get too dangerous and that your girls have fun in a winter wonderland!

*HUGS*

[elisi]

Daria is the BEST. I am sooooo happy to let the girls get familiar too. <3

And nope, we're pretty lucky with the snow. It's mostly pretty.

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

I loved Daris. I rewatched the whole thing early last year.

[elisi]

I'm thrilled to have found it again. Am planning some serious telly time today... (Esp as I've got an evil cold.)

[genericmarn.livejournal.com]

Yay, Daria!

When I first saw it, I thought someone had been watching my teenage life and decided to turn it into animated tv. Except, of course, they forgot my other little sister.

[elisi]

Your teenage life sounds awesome!

[promethia_tenk]

SNOW <3

Daria is one of those things that I've been meaning to watch for forever but it's never been available conveniently. Know I have checked for it on US Netflix before and been disappointed and went to look again and, indeed, no Daria.

BUT. Turns out it is now on Hulu. JOY.

[elisi]

I wouldn't mind a little more snow, but since it's promised to snow heavily all night, hopefully tomorrow will be a proper winter wonderland. :) (I walk to work, which is one reason I don't mind... No need to worry about public transport/car misbehaving.)

BUT. Turns out it is now on Hulu. JOY.
\o/ Daria is fabulous. *waves hands* I don't have anything to say, I just love it. <3

[missmurchison.livejournal.com]

I'm so envious. I watched Daria with my girls years ago, and I wish I had them here right now so we could watch reruns. There are shows I can only watch with them because I enjoy their reactions more than the episodes (*cough*Glee*cough*) and reruns I watch because I like them and the memories of seeing them with the kids enhances the experience. Daria is in the second class.

Also, Trent.

[elisi]

<3

And oh yes, Trent.

Mostly though (although they're growing up MUCH TOO QUICKLY) it's wonderful to be able to share stuff with them. The eldest is 14 now, and quite the fangirl - she's on Tumblr & facebook & Minecraft (and even has an LJ she uses now and again) and is involved in MLP and Merlin and things. It's adorable, and I get to mentor her and make sure she's OK.
