I only found out about Buffy after the fact. So I watched all seasons on DVD, pretty much one after the other. That way you don't really feel how long it took the series to gel. Let's hope that VM will be given that chance ... AFAIK there's no agreement about a second season yet. > But maybe that's because I find Veronica far cuter than > Buffy.

The most interesting character to me is Logan. He seems to be on a redemption arc. I wonder if they will be able to pull that off convincingly. Apropos TV: I 'm afraid that "Lost" is already losing its edge. The last two episodes were disappointments to me. - -- Sebastian Hagedorn PGP key ID: 0x4D105B45 http://www.spinfo.uni-koeln.de/~hgd/ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2005 15:58:16 -0500 From: woj Subject: Robyn Hitchcock On Tour! - ----- Forwarded message from Yep Roc Records ----- Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2005 15:24:42 -0500 To: "woj " From: "Yep Roc Records" Subject: Robyn Hitchcock On Tour! - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Click the link below for a special ROBYN HITCHCOCK media player for "If You Know Time" for his Yep Roc debut, SPOOKED! http://www.yeproc.com/media.php?id=122 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't have a copy of SPOOKED yet?

[But I] discovered there that when you made an utterance that was remotely contrary to what the White House was saying, then they attacked you. For a South African the deja vu was frightening. They behaved exactly the same way that used to happen here [during apartheid]: vilifying those who are putting forward a slightly different view." -- Desmond Tutu __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I visited the park last Sunday and finally posted a mini photography blog: http://homepage.mac.com/stevetalkowski/myPortfolio/Galleries/theGates/ index.html I was very impressed with the scope of the project and the execution. Though, to me, the best views were always in front of the fabric when backlit by the sun, which turned them quite luminous. Views from the sun facing side resulted in the washed out nature the saffron could take on throughout the day. It really is a beautiful experience to view firsthand. http://www.christojeanneclaude.net/tg.html - -Steve p.s. Feel free to poke around the rest of my site and let me know if you find any busted links, as I just posted the online portfolio this week and it's still very much a work-in-progress. ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V14 #44 *******************************
