Angelic Revelation

One of the reasons why I haven’t been much active online lately, is that I spend most of my evenings watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with one or more of my flatmates. We started about a year ago, when one of them asked me to show him a really fun Buffy episode. I chose “Hush”, [...]

Success!

Finally, after close to three months of almost constant webcomic reading, I’m finally ajour with Order of the Stick, PvP, xkcd, Penny Arcade and Ctrl+Alt+Del, meaning that I am now ready to strart reading new ones! Wee!

Karaoke at the Caritas…

Last Thursday, my sister and I watched one of the first Angel season 2 episodes where Lorne* and his abilities are used.
