Saw the finale of Buffy again last night. I watched the whole thing, then I rewound and fast-forwarded and watched my favourite bits again and again, which are some of my favourite bits ever to be on any episode.

Spike talking about how blood makes you hard (wow), Spike telling Buffy that he knew she never loved him, but she still treats him like a man instead of a monster, Giles killing Ben, and Spike breaking down and sobbing at the end.

And this wonderful exchange, that I should have written down word for word, but forgot to, and so must paraphrase:

BUFFY
We have to stop Glory before she starts the ritual or we will all die, and if anyone tries to come near Dawn, I'll kill you. (exits).

SPIKE
Not exactly the St. Crispian's Day speech.

GILES
(exiting with broadsword)
We few, we happy few...

SPIKE
(following)
We band of buggered.

I'm all over Shakespeare jokes.

Notice anything about those fave bits? All but one are of Spike. Where the hell did this come from? I've been mad about Giles since I started watching the show, left over from when I watched him on VR5, but now suddenly I'm all over Spike?

Maybe it has something to do with my suddenly getting crushes on younger men instead of older. I've always said that men only start getting interesting in their 40s, but now that I am hard upon mine (ARGH! LALALALALALALALA I can't heeeeeaaaaar yoooooouuuuuuu!!!), the late 20s and early 30s are looking better and better.

I don't know, maybe it's the new hairstyle.

O, here's something funny, after writing that I thought I'd check out how much younger than I am he actually is.

Well, all the bios on these fan sites all say the same thing, "James Marsters was born on 20 August, but we don't know what year! Nope, we haven't the vaguest, foggiest notion as to his age, not one little bit, nope nope nope." On this picture, it says that he is 28, but then I decided to check out the IMDb, and by golly, look what it says there, 20 August 1962! That would make him two years older than me!

At first I thought it was a typo, but then, of course, I realized that there would be no reason for the secrecy if he wasn't nearly 39. Refusing to tell the year of your birth means one thing and one thing only--you are old old old old old. On the other hand, of course, he couldn't be cast as a 39 year old for anything, he just couldn't play it, so better to hide it.

Man, he must really be a vampire, though, or have a picture falling apart in his attic, he has no right to look that young.

Today's horoscope:
Curiosity about how things work is stronger today. Don't ask embarrassing questions, but do increase your understanding.

One year ago today:
Nope, it's all "Summer=Heat". Now it's "Summer=Pneumonia".
