Earlier this year I said I was ‘back in the swing‘, posted a few times, and then vanished.The reason isn’t that I have nothing to say (although I have less than I used too) but that I am in the...
I think Joss Whedon is fantastic. Buffy, Firefly, and even Dr Horribles Sing Along Blog are all a lot of fun. Firefly in particular showed loads of potential so I was disappointed that it never even got to the end...
