So me and my friend Aviv (he's a guy) went job hunting today. We went through the entire city and we left our nembers at a few places. The two jobs that seem most likely to pan out could actually work out together, schedule-wise, so I might take them both. The first one is handing out food samples at supermarkets, which is only, like, a few hours a week, so it can easily work out with the second job which is waiting tables at a bar\restaurant. But waiting tables could very well be my worst idea ever, 'cause a) I have the coordination abilities of a one-legged five-year-old with down syndrome. Seriuosly. I mean, running around carrying plates and drinks and trays and stuff? I can already see this ending badly. And b) I suck at multitasking so having to carry stuff, and take orders, and write things down and be nice while doing all of that at the same time has disaster written all over it. But I'll just have to see.

So anyway, we are doing all this job-finding effort for one simple goal: we're planning a trip to AMSTERDAM. Holy awesome. So we're working to have enough money by the end of November, which is when we're planning to go. We're already looking at hostels and flights and dates and stuff and we're really excited. For me it's going to be the third time visiting Amsterdam, but I never really got to "experience" it because the last two times, I was there with my parents, and all we did was go to the Anne Frank house, which, don't be fooled otherwise, is really really boring. But this time we're gonna do the whole Amsterdam thing, including bars, coffee-shops and the red light district. Hell yes.

Lately I've been finding myself 'shipping actual couples, with actual people. It's strange.

I have become addicted to Tegan and Sara.

So - a little tv stuff (spoiler-ish):

Doctor Who (4x11): Great episode. All I have to say is one word (well, one words many times) - ROSE. RoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRoseRose. OK, I got it out. Iv'e been waiting for this fo so long. Call me a crazed fangirl. Cuz it's probably true. And oh, when I saw the trailer for next episode... I swear, I was having, like, a.. a.. a geekgasm. I can't wait, damn it!

Weeds (4x01): To tell you the truth, I was underwhelmed with this episode, though it was really great to see Mary-Louise Parker on my tv screen again. Though some parts were really really great (some bits of dialogue here and there, Celia's interrogation), it basically just felt like it was laying the groundwork for the rest of the season, which I will of course watch.

Top 20 BtVS Episodes - Part 1:

(oh, you should probably know, I'm a big season 5 fan, and a huge, big Spuffy fan. You've been warned)

#20: Blood Ties (5x13): I think this is the first episode where I realized I kinda like Dawn. The whole sequence where she finds out what she is and then cuts herself is very powerful in my opinion, and it really touched on subjects of self identity, and was interesting to watch. Plus, there's a bunch of great interactions between the characters, like when Buffy goes to beat up Spike, and his nails are still wet . Funny stuff.

#19: Intervention (5x18 ) : Honestly, I'm not completely sure why I love this episode so much. Maybe it's the Buffybot ("Hey look, it's Spike, and he's wearing a coat!" "Angel's lame. His hair goes straight up and he's bloody stupid" "Hey, you look just like me! We're very pretty"), maybe it's the Spuffy action at the end, and maybe it's the hokey-pokey stuff in the desert. And maybe it's all of that. I just love this episode.

#18: Selfless (7x05): an entire episode about Anya? How could I not love it? The whole bit at the beginning with Olaf is hilarious, and it's very interesting to finally see Anya's past and how she became who she is. Overall it's a pretty bitter and sad episode which talks about how Anya always used to define harself by what she was doing and who she was with and not by herself. The only thing that bothered me about this ep is Buffy's really quick decision to just kill Anya. That sort of came out of nowhere.

#17: Chosen (7x22): Although Anya's death is one of only two things for which I do not forgive Joss about (the other one being Cordelia's story arc in Angel s4 resulting in her death in s5), I usually just supress it and try to look at the other cool stuff in the episode. All the Spuffy scenes were totally great (and so cute!), how Buffy believed in Spike, and finally told him she loves him (don't care what Spike said after that, I think she did mean it), and Buffy's speech gave me tingles. Everything rocked it this episode, a lot of funny going around in it, and I actually cried during the Buffy/Xander/Willow/Giles scene in the high school. Really nostalgic.

#16: Dead Things (6x13): Probably one of the darkest episodes of the show, if not the darkest. I love how it dealt with buffy's need to punish herself for the way she's feeling and treating everyone else. It finally showed how the most idiotic villains on the show became, in a way, more evil than all the other bad guys, because they were human. I mean, one minute they're stupid high school boys, the next minute they become rapists and in the moment after that they commit murder. This is the ep that really turned the season into the dark season that it is. I like that. But my favorite parts were, of course, the Spuffy stuff, in the most deeply dark period of their relationship. I know many people did not like it, but I loved it. Oh, and the final scene where buffy finds out she didn't come back wrong and doesn't have an excuse for her behaviour and how she breaks down in front of Tara... Brilliant. Sarah's acting was great in this episode.

Well, sorry for the longness of this blog, but whatever.

So until next time - toodles.
