Moonlit Jazz

So I’m on this mailing list called Zack World, which focuses on William Gregory Lee’s Dark Angel character. Of course, they want Zack back, but a recent post has bothered me. I don’t know if it’s the tone of it or what, but I get the feeling that the writer of this post isn’t totally supportive of Greg. Right, it’s a Zack list and so the people are more supportive of the character, but I guess I just didn’t like the tone. I don’t know if any of this makes any kind of sense. Oh well.

Updates!!! Yeah, I’ve added more to this site, as you can see (as well as tweaked my blog a bit, hope everything works all right).

Guestbook – in case someone actually stumbles upon this site they can leave leave any comments… (Oh, and how sad is this? I just checked it and it’s not working. Rat b’s!!!)
Words – my “essays” for the want of a better word, as well as poetry. Hopefully I add more sometime…

My Saffy girl is in heat! My puppy isn’t a puppy anymore. Awwwww! 😛

Now how cool is this? The Privateers Official Website has video clips from the Pasadena convention and I’m in one of them! Karl and I are getting our picture taken. I started laughing when I saw it. It’s so cool though! 🙂 There are also video interviews with the actors from the show, including Scott Levy, my personal favorite. 🙂

I think I’m sad that my vacation is ending. I really don’t want to go back to work. I really enjoyed all this lazy time. Oh, and we even did some cleaning up in the house. Woohoo!

I’m listening to Garth Brooks at my friend’s house while they play quarters. I know, I should be out there. And perhaps I’ll go out as soon as I finish this. 🙂

Yes, I wish I had been at the Metro signing! No fair! Oh well, another time? 🙂

My A’s won the first game of the double header. I should check and see if they won the second game… Rats, they lost. Oh well! 😛

Okay, time to get off the computer. But then do what? LOL!

Awww, Greg asked after me when Lisa and Paula saw him at the autograph signing in Santa Barbara. Yes, Lisa called me to tell me about it. I feel so loved! LOL! Oh, and he liked the collages I made. Hmm, must think about linking them from the main page. 😛

But yikes, apparently people aren’t getting my emails! Sucks! What do I have to do to get reliable service? (I know, not use Yahoo? LOL!)

I think I’m ready to spill about Dark Angel. 😛

NOT ZACK!!! Why would Zack do that?! Yes, his last gesture shows how much he loves Max, but to sacrifice himself for her? I can’t believe that Zack is dead. In fact, I’m in total denial. I won’t accept it until they come back next season and we see his body on the morgue slab. Yeah, that’s it.

In spite of my reaction to Zack’s death, I thought that the season ender of Dark Angel was one heck of a cliffhanger! 😛

NOOOOOOO!!!

That was me during the last moments of the season finale of DARK ANGEL. No spoilers from me yet…

Will I be sad when Xena finally airs its last? I watched it this weekend and I realized that I would miss it. So many wonderful things have happened because of that show. No matter how I say I liked Hercules too, I know that deep down, Xena was the one that hooked me.

Things I didn’t like… The whole subtext thing. I’m all for telling the story and the story DID NOT begin with the subtext theme. Fans imagined it, TPTB played into it. But for me, it was NEVER about whether Xena and Gabrielle hooked up. To me, they are friends. The best kind of friends, sisters. Why did TIIC give in? I know, I’m likely in the minority in all of this. And I probably wouldn’t care if I thought it was in the “master plan.” Of course, I don’t think TPTB had a master plan. That’s why they sometimes get “TIIC” acronym, eh?… Killing the gods. What in all of Olympus was up with that?! Oh yes, it made for definite drama when Hercules had to kill Zeus. But for Xena’s baby? And why were the gods so scared, so selfish, so shortsighted? You would think that with all the wisdom and knowledge they supposedly possessed, they would have realized that their own fear would be their undoing. I hated this storyline and was so very sorry to see the gods die as they did…

Things I’ll always love about Xena… “For Him the Bell Tolls.” This episode, Xena lite but Joxer heavy, is my ALL TIME favorite episode from either Xena or Hercules. I have always loved Joxer for his bumbling ways and good intentions. In FHTBT, he was the romantic, sexy warrior and I loved seeing him like that. I could watch that episode over and over again… ARES. Kevin Smith is THE REASON I began watching Xena and Hercules. No matter what I’ve said before, he was the one who lured me into the world of myth and legend and I could not resist. On Hercules, Ares was easier to read. “Must kill Hercules!” was his main motive. But on Xena, Ares was so much more. The seducer – “come back to me.” The fighter – “if I can’t have you, I’ll kill you.” The lover – “my godhood for you.” He was bad, but he was so delicious doing it. In all his moments, Ares was the reason for me. I can’t ever deny that… Hades. He had a smaller part and was only around in the beginning. But those fleeting moments introduced me to Erik Thomson and I must ever be grateful to Xena for that. (Though in reality, I had first seen him on Hercules.)… Virgil. He was exactly what I didn’t want. Another handsome guy in the long line of handsome guys to grace the universe of Xena. But Virgil is different. Yes, strong and creative, he’s also sensitive and sweet. Irresistible. Too bad he didn’t get more on screen time. But I think it was William Gregory Lee himself who hooked me… The cyberworld. I went online in search of more information on Kevin Smith and ended up finding a place to express my creativity. Not only in writing, but in creating websites dedicated to my favorite fellows… MY DEAR FRIENDS. I’ve met a lot of people over the last four years or so. Many of them online, then some of them in real life. The conventions brought me together with fans who became my friends and I never ever thought a show could do that. And for that I must forever be grateful.

I think that I will feel that tinge of sadness when the credits roll that final time on Xena. Yes, it’s time to move on, but I will always remember my time in the Xenaverse fondly. And really, does it all ever end?… 🙂
