Life lessons from TV
March 6, 2010
I love me some good television. Some of my all-time favourite shows? Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Felicity, Six Feet Under, Damages, Dexter, Oz and Beverly Hills, 90210 (yes, one can love both Oz and the adventures of Brandon, Brenda and Kelly equally). Anyhow, reading this post 17 Things I Learned about Life from Watching Movies and TV from Paxton Holley’s blog Cavalcade of Awesome over breakfast today was a fun way to start off the weekend.
Speaking of Buffy, about two years ago I was having dinner with a girlfriend in NYC at Gemma in the Bowery Hotel (fried zucchini blossoms — yum!) and Sarah Michelle Gellar was having drinks at a table nearby. “I HAVE to go talk to her,” I blurted out to the friend I was dining with. I mean, it’s not every day I am in the presence of the star of, like, only the best TV show ever. But the look of fear on my friend’s face of potentially being with the uncool, starcrazed fan, and the girlfriends flanking Gellar at their banquette (making it difficult to discreetly profess my love for Buffy) kept me from getting up to talk to SMG.

I have the entire Buffy series on DVD. I learned me some language play, as in rather than say someone is “somewhere else,” say the person is “someplace that’s else.”
Joss Whedon RULES. The End.

Love it. Shall we start writing like that?
