I'm such a sap.

Alex is out on a case tonight – actually, his 4th case since Wednesday night, which means he’s been away working more than he’s been home lately – so I’m entertaining myself. It was absolutely gorgeous out today, so I went for a few walks around the area, which was nice. Got to catch up on my podcasts. I went to Target a little earlier and for the past few hours I’ve been playing with a bunch of freeware that I found for my iMac while watching episodes of Buffy on Hulu. I’ve already seen all of seasons one and two, which are all they have posted, but I’ve got a terrible memory for details when it comes to books, tv shows, and movies, so I can watch things over and over again and not get bored… and still be surprised at what happens or still experience extreme emotional reactions. Like tonight – I finished watching season two (d’oh! They don’t have season three up yet…) and at the end of that season, Buffy has to kill Angel, right after his soul gets returned to him (it all makes sense when you’ve been watching the show…). I am sitting here sobbing like a baby watching this episode, and I’ve seen it before! Here’s the scene (after a brief commercial):

Wicked sad, right? (By the way… Isn’t Hulu cool?! You can create your own custom clips to embed on your website. I mean, you have to watch ads, but whatever, it’s free for me and everyone has to make a dollar, right? Oh, and the entire episode can be watched right from that clip, just click backwards in the time elapsed thingy at the bottom… I love it!!)

Now I’ve got to figure something else out to watch while I wait for Season three to be posted… Hmmm… Maybe they have Angel on Hulu…

I'm Disgustingly Addicted

clipped from www.hulu.com

It’s 8pm on a Friday night. I’m not TOO old yet. But I’m sitting at home with the hubby having a quiet night in the living room. I’m such a geek because I’m TOTALLY OK with the fact that we’re not going to go out and do something super cool tonight because… “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” season 2 just got added to www.hulu.com! Hulu is a pretty awesome site that allows you to stream some current and some older TV shows and some movies (though I think they’re edited for TV viewing). It’s add-supported, so every commercial break, you have to watch 1 commercial. I’m OK with that. A couple of weeks ago when I first discovered Hulu (when they were still in Beta), I watched the complete Buffy Season 1 and became addicted (again – I used to obsessively watch Buffy repeats on TV a couple years ago). I was super excited to discover today that they just added season 2. Oh yeah. I know what I’m doing all weekend. (By the way, Wham and Pa, check out Hulu… I’m not sure if they allow streaming outside of the US, but if so, it’s another option for some good ol’ American entertainment.)
