It’s been one HECK of a week. Deadlines, client meetings, fancy presentations, and lots and lots of loose ends to finish up projects. My back is ouchtastic, and my brain is fried. The only delightful thing to do? Shut off the computer and make for the edge ‘o town!

This cakedelight goes out to my lovely and talented friend Katie, who is currently perfecting the fine art of making tiny cakes (and sushi) out of Sculpey. Hooray!
I’m in the midst a pretty crazy week. Deadlines galore! Not sure if there’s time for actual writing, but I always have time to share delightful stuff. Like Tron Dog.

I’ve adopted the ritual of watching a season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer every year around this time. Curling up with 20 hours of the Scoobies is cathartic and inspiring during the midwinter. I usually choose Season Three, and occasionally Seasons Two or Five. This year, though, I was overwhelmed by the need to watch Season Seven.
Suprising, to say the least, because it’s not the strongest of seasons. In fact, its shortcomings are alarming obvious: plot holes, an omniscient First Evil who gets un-omniscient at convenient times, Caleb the evil preacher who leads Buffy to the ultimate Slayer weapon, and Kennedy. (Kennedy! Could the writers have picked a less satisfying way to help Willow overcome her grief? Blarg.) I always appreciated the challenge of wrapping up Buffy, and I enjoyed a lot about this final television season, but I never really had the desire to re-visit it. Until this Winter. Because Season Seven is all about becoming a leader in the face of incredible odds. If that isn’t just what this Winter calls for, I don’t know what is.
