beccatoriaThere has been an Escalation of Hostilities in the ongoing war between My Father and The Pub Across the Road.
They are now trying to poison us!
The manager in a suit just happened to pick our house at random to offer a free meal for four people in aid of new staff training. Interesting since they've been refurbishing not recruiting... And you know, since it was the manager. In a suit. AT RANDOM. I'm kinda disappointed my dad wasn't home at the time. Someone mighta got PUNCHED or sumthin'.
Clearly they want my dad to stop riling the locals into a pitch-fork wielding flame-carrying mob. I think he is disinclined to acquiesce to their request.
In Other News, if Nothing Goes Wrong, I have a JOB. Teaching very small south korean children how to speak English. Starting on August 4th, so I suppose I'll be leaving sometime in the preceeding week. I am, to be frank, rather scared, but more scared of what will happen to me if I don't go just because I'm scared. I also find it rather pathetic that one of my major concerns is: how long will it be before I can get an internet connection in our apartment. You know, that and, OMGWTFBBQ SMALL CHILDREN LEARNING THINGS FROM ME?
On the plus side, it's a casual dress code that explicitly allows jeans!
Also the documents we have to send include information about how Kev changed his surname and stuff, so we're hoping they don't find that horribly weird or anything. Especially since there's no real nice-and-tidy way of explaining why.
In Exciting News, I also met![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heyiya briefly and she was awesome! There was much discussion of BSG and vidding and things and I had a fantabulous summer fruits smoothie thingy, and apparently I ought to watch the rest of Angel because in season five I will fall in love with Wesley much the way I accidentally fell in love with Tigh. I admit I am still skeptical but this is not the first time I've been told that season five makes up for seasons three and four (not that I watched four). So I'm opening the floor to debate:
Angel: To Watch, or Not?
Finally, In Vidding News, I tried to get on with writing some more of that BSG story, but my head kept making a vid instead (this is what happens when I have like...nine weeks with nothing at all to do, seriously people, co-opt me, I have FREE TIME for the first time in what seems like years. Ideas on how to keep me entertained are welcome.beccatoria need YOU!). But anyway the point is, the plot of Myth is continuing to unfold in my head, but at the moment a vid has eaten my brain. Fortunately it's short and I'm mostly done with it. Now I just have to find a beta... (beccatoria needs YOU!)
And, that's about it really. I've spent most of this week in an extremely sleep-deprived scramble of finalising South Korea details and going on long coach rides to obscure government offices, and forgetting to take pictures to show everyone the library I'm going to move into if there's ever a Zombie Apocalypse, and being horribly anti-social and vid-obsessed in between...
Just figured I'd let everyone know how it was going!

Date: 2008-06-20 01:28 am (UTC)I think if I have to rank the seasons I'd put them in this order: 2,1,5,3, and 4. I don't know what the worst thing was about Season 4, Conner, the Jasmine arc, or the total destruction of the character of Cordelia. The fifth season was a mix of good and not so good. I do think you would like Wes. And I found Illyria to be an interesting character. As big a fan as I was of Spike on Buffy, I'm not sure he was a necessary addition, but I did really enjoy a few of his episodes. And I am still bitter about what they did to Lindsey.

Date: 2008-06-20 11:42 am (UTC)Oh, and you know who I really, really missed? Kate. We just never saw her again after Angel saved her from killing herself. :(
TO be honest, I'm actually sort of...afraid of watching season four, it sounds so awful. Cordy was always my favourite on that show and I always had a real soft spot for Fred even though she came after I stopped liking the show so much, and, well, she sort of gets destroyed and stops being herself too.
Could I skip right past season four and go straight to season five, do you think, or would I be too confused?

Date: 2008-06-21 02:58 am (UTC)Season 4, imho, was...not good. They also managed to ruin Angelus. I forgot to mention that. The Fred/Illyria thing is complicated because while I wasn't happy that they killed Fred, I did like Illyria. And I could share her disgust with the people she found herself stuck with. :p
I'd say read some recaps of S4 episodes to have a general idea of what happened, but that you don't necessarily have to watch the eps to understand what is going in in S5.
