giles the cute librarian



My nephew Jeffrey.


In my dream last night, I was sitting in a classroom. Allison was sitting at the desk next to me. At the front of the class, Giles (the cute librarian from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) was asking everyone to hand in their homework. I panicked because I had no idea what he was talking about. I asked Allison, but her reply was complete gibberish. I asked her to repeat her answer, and she told me, looking somewhat amused, completely different gibberish. Then I woke up.

I have no idea what this means, except that I've been watching a lot of Buffy lately and was always stressed out about tests and marks in school. Funny how a dream always seems super-fascinating just after you've woken up, but when you're telling it to someone else, you realize how incredibly dull it really is.

Buffy spoilers later in this Blathering, by the way.

It rained yesterday in Toronto. I didn't care; I still went walking. First outdoors, then, when it began pouring rain, underground through the mysterious series of hallways, shopping malls, and subway stations that comprise the Toronto PATH system. Walked/ran 6 miles today after my physio appointment (yay! Nick The Physiotherapist is back from Greece!) . I'm currently listening to "Oh ok LA", which is Ookla The Mok's new CD. REALLY love this album. A more coherent and detailed raving coming in a Blathering very soon.

I started watching season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which is the last DVD season set that my friend Michelle was kind enough to lend me. I'm realizing that these episodes won't last me nearly as long as I had hoped. Maybe I can find a movie rental place that carries the other seasons on DVD.

I watched the last 15 minutes of the final Buffy episode on tv last night because I couldn't resist. I notice that Cordelia is nowhere to be seen; I'm theorizing that she must have been killed between season three and season 8. A shock to see Buffy tells Spike that she loves him, since they seem to be mortal enemies in the season I'm currently watching. what happened to Angel? And Drusilla? Where's Principal Snyder/Quark? And who the heck is (or was) Anya? No, don't tell me any of these answers. I'm sure I'll find out eventually. Quite a few characters that I didn't recognize, but I'm glad to see the librarian survive until the end of the series.

On the way home from my walk, I stopped in briefly to visit Michelle in Bakka to thank her for lending me her Buffy DVDs and to curse her getting me hooked on a series that is already over.
