Last night I caught bits of "Nazi Prophecies" on the History Channel. It mentioned Matthias Stormberger, a 19th century seer, who has apparently prophesized a WWW3. I googled him and found this site http://www.geocities.com/nephilimnot/prophets.html. Now 99.99% of me is highly skeptical but there's this teeny, tiny part of me that worries that Dubya's policies will provoke the Moslem extremists into doing something even more crazy. I once had such high hopes for the 21st century. Now I weep for my world.

A Bit of Whimsy
Oct. 17th, 2005 12:22 pmI was at aintitcoolnews (http://www.aintitcool.com/) and as I glanced at this entry I misread it:
‘He’s No Angel!!’
Tickle Biscuit Reviews A Chunk Of Spike-TV’s BLADE THE VAMPIRE SLAYER Pilot Script!!
For a split second I thought it was our Spike they were talking about (who else thought of William the Bloody instead of Spike Lee when the network was announced?). I keep hearing rumors but so far no dice. JM has said that he really can play Spike for only a few more years so they better hurry. I was thinking in light of that and in light of Angel signing away his shanshu that the best option is to have Spike become human (yes I love our favorite vampire but unfortunately JM is mortal). I was thinking about the rest of the BtVS/AtS casts as they are now scattered to the winds. I have a feeling that for the "Spike Movie" Joss would unfortunately have to cast new supporting characters (I know that "Kitchen Confidential" is on hiatus/cancelled and Nick Brendan might be available but he probably has other projects lined up) and all those lovely post NFA fics would become AU--until the next addition to the Buffyverse comes out they are all equally valid. I will regret the lack of future canon Spander possibilities but Spike/William in any form would be sooo desired by sooo many. Please Joss get to work now!

Last post today I hope
Oct. 17th, 2005 06:11 pmAnother update!!! And here I wrote that the updates would be sparse--silly me. I intend to start posting the names of my favorite BtVS fics very soon. I just want to make clear that the recs are highly subjective. I've read an awful lot of very good fics over the past 4 or 5 years (has it been that long?? Time does fly except when you're at the dentist *g*), fics that were well written and deserve recognition but somewhere else. The stories I have made my favorites have something in them that make them very memorable to me and these fics I will long remember years from now. Heck I still can recall some of the fanfics I read back while I was a TOS Trekkie. "Kraith" anyone?
