we finished Angel season one last night. good stuff. when we started watching, i was really skeptical that it would be good, but now i'm totally hooked. i really like what they've been doing with the characters--Angel has so much more depth now, his brooding is justifiable, and what they did with Lindsey the Lawyer in those last few episodes was awesome.

season two comes out september 2nd--we can preorder on amazon and get it for under $40 with free shipping (not to mention The Two Towers extended edition dvd, which comes out on november 18th--amazon has it for around $26 with free shipping). we really have too much stuff to buy. but season two--i was reading reviews, and there's all the darla stuff coming up, plus the black guy becomes a regular and spike and dru show up and willow and faith have guest spots and i'm all excited just thinking about it. yeah.

my problem, though, is that i'm not going to be able to catch up to the present time. i would really like to be watching the current season of Angel, but i think i've missed way too much in between. and is there going to be another spin-off, does anyone know?

hey jorn, speaking of amazon, did you ever send back the defective dvd of This is Spinal Tap? you should really do that, or else if too much time passes they might not take it back.

today: out to lunch with jorn and his friends from work, then frisbee at 5. tomorrow: going for my massage and facial and manicure at chakras spa! i'm excited. this weekend i'm also going to finish my proofreading job and get the proofs back to dr. langenfeld, so that'll be some nice extra money. oh, and saturday night, while jorn's conveniently at his radio show, i'm going to watch my new Dirty Dancing dvd with emily and possibly xina. yay! i just wish elan and rhett were around to watch it with me, too (rhett's going out of town for the weekend). and i'm going to start packing, really i am.

I want Lindsey. I want him bad.

One of my favorite Lindsay moments is in the second season. Jess and I still randomly say "Evil hand" from time to time. You'll see.

whoa. :) i must say i was really excited when Angel cut off Lindsey's hand--that was a great scene. but of course i am expecting an evil prosthetic of some sort will appear next season. :)

So ordering stuff from amazon isn't much of a hassle then? I've never bought anything from there before, but want to.

you've seriously never ordered from amazon before? wow. no, it's easy. it gets a little more complicated if you've got gift certificates or you're ordering from the z-shops (regular bookstores who post their used books on amazon), but in general it's so simple.

and that reminds me--i've got an amazon gift certificate. Angel season two is as good as bought, yo.

NEVAR. I don't ususally go for big online sites like that. I still prefer to buy things in person. But Amazon is the only place that had seasons 2 and 3 of Slayers @ a decent price.

you get free shipping if you spend more than $25 on an order from amazon (not from one of their affiliated sellers, though--you'd have to buy new rather than used). but it's a pretty good deal, especially if you're buying something big like dvd sets.

Which I would be. =-) teh.

I looked into the amazon return policy and it said that if it's more than 30 days out, you can still return a defective dvd, but you have to pay for the replacement! WDP? So I wrote them an email saying that it was a gift and we didn't get to watch it until very recently, even though it was ordered way in advance. They should respond within 24 hours and let me know precisely how much of my ass they'd like to kiss.

and technically, that's true.

did you see, in my comment to dann, how i'm going to use my amazon gift certificate on Angel season two? yeeaaahhhh!!!!!
