Madonna has joined the spoofing parade. Thanks for the heads up. I'll just wait until after the record has been released to download the real files, assuming they're worth listening to, which I doubt.

The FTC has stepped up the fight against spam. It only took 46,000 emails.

OMG!!!!!!!!! That made me cry. Poor Xander. That's just not cool. It's not. What the hell is Whedon and Co. doing. Oy, this is just not cool. The episode was brilliant, and much to my chagrin it proves that no one is safe.

Much screaming has just ensued. And there are still ten minutes left on Buffy.

Sex sells but Puma doesn't like it. At least that's what it claims by sending out Cease and Desist letters to bloggers asking them to remove a questionable picture.

I'm miserable, but hopefully that will change soon. Why am I miserable? Well last week's prediction came true. I did get a migraine Saturday night at the Barrister's Ball, and I'm still dealing with it. It's my fault. I should have taken the meds this morning even though I felt fine, but I didn't. Then I sang in choir and the pain came back. Now I'm really trying not to throw up. (Too much information, I know). Oy, I'm really nauseous. I hate this.
One good thing has come out of this. I finally started my copyright paper. I have a goal for tonight, but it's not even a stated goal because I never fulfill them. Ok, I'm lying. I would like five pages, but seeing as my stomach and my head are not cooperating, I'll be happy with one page. Actually I'm happy I started.

�To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.� � Theodore Roosevelt.

The new Matrix trailer is ONLINE NOW. It looks so cool! It's just, oh wow, I'm going to see this opening day. I don't care if I have to buy tickets ahead of time. I'm so there.

I meant to blog about this yesterday, but I forgot. The email was specifically directed to me, which surprised me. I'm not sure if I'll try it. I did tell F. about it who said I should go for it and he'd tape it. We shall see. I want to send him the email and see what he thinks. It's rather amusing because when I spoke to him yesterday he told me he was in LA and a bunch of people he met there were trying to convince him to become an agent. I think he would be good at it, and it cracked me up when he said he'd be my agent if I do the blog thing.
That does make three people I know who have received the email.

I think the preview for next weekend's episode ellicited more screams from my friend and I than anything else in tonight's episode of Angel. That's not to say that what we watched was any less entertaining.
Kudos to team Whedon. That's three episodes I've enjoyed immensly, though I think the Gunn-centric one has to be my favorite of the season.
What I liked
This episode was just erie. You expect Jasmine (damn it, that's a good person's name not a bad one) to appear and act like something evil almost immediately, and when the opposite happens, it still screams 'evil' anyway. It's the 'too good to be true' feeling, especially when Connor freely called Angel dad. It reminded me much of Angel's dream where everything fixed itself. Something just didn't vibe, and in this episode it was much more apparent.
Later in the episode the facade begins to crack, and I jumped when Fred was shown what Jasmine really looks like. It was just downright gross and freaky. I wonder, once everyone sees through the facade, will this be the appearance of the Beastmaster, or is it another disguise? And how is it that Fred was suddenly able to see this other self?
Another interesting thing, Jasmine's touch transforms humans into demons. I could be wrong, but it certainly didn't look like the guy, who also saw the truth, was slowly being disfigured. Will he become a full-fledged demon as a form of punishment? It's interesting that Jasmine has this power.
I also liked how the whole conception of Connor was explained, sorta. I'm sure there's more to it than what Jasmine said. It was just intriguing to hear it mentioned. Also interesting was the way Jasmine was playing Connor. Could this be forshadowing?
There's not much to be said about the cast since they were for the most part acting as blind disciples. I did like Fred in this as well as her quirkiness. She has always been an interesting character.
What I didn't like
For some reason the episode seemed a little recycled ideawise. It reminded me too much of Glory even though Jasmine is no way like her. The parallels to the psychiatry ward just bothered me a little. Same with the fact that once the guy saw through Jasmine he felt it was his calling to kill her. How so? Maybe Jasmine is from the same dimension as Glory?
Oh yeah, it doesn't help that tonight's episode is a two parter, and I'm still shocked by what I saw in the previews.
