The Immortal

I'm walking home the other day free associating when it occurs to me that Buffy's Immortal was none other than Mr Flint, a character from the "Star Trek TOS" episode "Requiem for Methuselah". He had been born in 3834 BC and after he was pierced in the heart in a battle, found he could not die. He was known to us as Johannes Brahms, Leonardo da Vinci, Solomon, Alexander the Great, Lazarus, Methuselah, Merlin and many others. One of the names he gave was Abramson so possibly he was using that when he met Buffy. I tried to see some of Buffy in Rayna but there was none so I must assume Buffy was not his ideal woman. The Immortal probably looked much younger before he left Earth and began to age. There's crossover potential there (unless it's already been done unbeknownst to me) - anyone know?

Meow Mix House

Remember those reality shows where a bunch of people share living quarters and are slowly voted off? Well now Meow Mix has created Meow Mix House, a feline version airing on the Animal Planet. There are 10 cats from animal shelters and eventually one will become the MM cat while the others are adopted. I know it's really one glorified commercial but it's so purrfidiously cute.

Books

Every once in a while I'll come across a post on lj by someone who wants to de-clutter and get rid of some unwanted books. I came across a couple of links in case anyone now has a pile of unwanted books lying around. I gave away all my unwanted books last summer to my library so at the moment I have none to donate to these good causes *sigh*
