Yay! The boy is back! And he brought all sorts of nifty things from Stanford, so I am now in the possession of a new bear (named Stanley) a stuffed tree (as of yet unnamed), and the Buffy season 2 DVDs!!!!! SQUEE!!! They are a finishing the thesis present ^_^.

The stuffed tree is really funny... apparently Stanford's mascot is a redwood (I think the Princeton tiger is infinitely cooler) so it's a little stuffed Christmas tree with a goofy smile, eyes and legs. No arms. So I make it run around and fall down, then it can't get back up. Tee hee. See, it's just like the T-Rex, whose itty bitty arms are shorter than its snout! So everytime it falls, it can't even catch itself because its arms are too little. This amuses me to no small extent. Then I found out T-Rexes actually died of broken necks because they would fall and not be able to catch themselves, which made me laugh even more. I am morbid. But just picture it: the badass of dinosaurs can't even get up after it falls down! Hee!

I'm not a big femslash fan, but I love figuring out subtext. It doesn't even have to be about pairings or slash, it can just be foreshadowing or some kind of metaphor -- i.e. Tara wearing Indian garb in "Restless", thereby linking the First Slayer with the Hindu goddess Kali. Or at least, that's my interpretation!

Oooo very cool. Basically, am in favor of anything that leads to open interpretation!
