| MattH | Hiya CM |
| Elais | whew |
| Elais | glad I remembered |
| Elais | bummed about Jerry Orbach |
| MattH | Same here. |
| Elais | watching an L&O ep with him in it |
| MattH | Yeah - he was going to be in a new L&O series, too. |
| MattH | I haven't watched much L&O recently, but I always enjoyed Briscoe... |
| Elais | never saw Jerry in any of his Broadway musicals |
| MattH | I didn't know he had appeared in any... |
| *** Amy_Madison has joined #thesuccubusclub. |
| Elais | I'm currently reading scripts of fictional season 6 of Angel |
| MattH | Any good |
| MattH | Hiya Amy |
| MattH | Long time, no see |
| Amy_Madison | hi guys |
| Amy_Madison | sorry, Xmas and all |
| MattH | Well, I hope both of you had a Merry one... |
| Elais | http://www.atpobtvs.com/existentialscoobies/fictionary/season_6/ |
| Elais | I got what I wanted most at Christmas...an extended edition of Return of the King |
| MattH | How was the confrontation between Gandalf and Saruman? I understand that was one of the cut scenes restored on the CD. |
| Elais | it was pretty good |
| Elais | kinda short though |
| Elais | and it was Grimtoungue? who killed Saruman |
| MattH | Grima Wormtongue - yes....though in the books it happened at the end of the scouring of the Shire. |
| MattH | So what do you think of the fictional S6 Angel scripts you linked to...I have been unable to get into any S6 fanfiction so far. |
| Elais | I like them |
| Elais | it is a bit more 'science fiction' than I would have expected |
| Amy_Madison | been looking for them myself. Where are the ones for Buffy. I had the link before, but kinda misplaced it |
| MattH | Looking for what? Angel S6 fanfiction? |
| Amy_Madison | I saw a LONG time ago, that someone also continued with Buffy |
| Elais | haven't run across any Buffy fic like that, Amy |
| MattH | There were a couple of Buffy fics like that...none of which I really liked. |
| MattH | I have read some post S7 Buffy fics which are very good, though. |
| Amy_Madison | ah. okie. I thought I kinda heard of virtural (?) Buffy season 8 awhile back. Sort pf when I first left the air |
| Amy_Madison | again that was a LONG time ago |
| MattH | There were a couple...they seemed to have died out.... |
| MattH | Lizbeth Marc's Living History is quite good...set about a year after S7 - http://www.fanfiction.net/u/295154/ |
| MattH | She is also working on a sequel on her livejournal http://www.livejournal.com/users/liz_marcs/ |
| Elais | I would be surprised if anyone actually managed to to do a full 22 'episodes' of Buffy |
| Elais | Works In Progress usually winds up going nowhere |
| Amy_Madison | going to check them now. Thanks |
| MattH | I would rather read a novel length fic than 22 short ones |
| MattH | M. Scott Eiland's Central is post S7 Buffy (AU for S5 Angel) |

| Elais | what did you get for xmas, Matt? |
| MattH | Just some clothes...and a fruitcake... |
| MattH | Fortunately, my mom makes *good* fruitcake |
| Elais | will miracles never cease? |
| Elais | I got a nightgown for christmas |
| Elais | but it would look better on a 70 year old woman |
| MattH | Well...there is no actually cake involved in it...it is more of a candied jell. |
| MattH | Hmmmm...then it will be a while before you need to wear it. |
| Elais | whats in the candied jell? |
| MattH | Fruit....I should have Mom send me the recipe. |
| MattH | I don't know the actual details of the jell itself...it is fairly rigid and translucent. |
| Elais | haven't eaten it yet? |
| Elais | just admiring it? |
| MattH | Ate it the first day. |
| MattH | Wish she had sent more.... |
| Elais | good food never lasts long |
| Elais | my mom can spend several days making lefse and it would all be gone within an hour or two |
| MattH | I've never had lefse |
| MattH | A type of bread isn't it? |
| Elais | it's kinda like a tortilla |
| Elais | but thinner |
| *** Amy_Madison has signed off IRC (). |
| Elais | guess Amy was bored! |
| MattH | I think she followed up on some of the fanfiction links I posted. |
| Elais | yeah, I've got those links saved to look at later |
| * MattH sighs |
| MattH | I hate the midwinter TV hiatus |
| MattH | I've been able to follow Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis via the web, but I am missing the rest of my shows....Veronica Mars and Smallville especially. |
| Elais | I am really looking forward to all new stuff in January |
| Elais | what do you think of Ben Browder being added to Stargate? |
| MattH | It is turning into Farscape....they just had the lead actress (forgot her name) doing a guest spot |
| MattH | I didn't care for Farscape, though. I will miss RDA a lot... |
| Elais | Claudia Black |
| Elais | I know the UK has been able to see the new eps |
| Elais | I liked Farscape, but only watched the first two seasons or so |
| MattH | 9 seasons is quite an accomplishment though |
| Elais | did watcht he mini-series |
| Elais | yeah, 9 is a LOT |
| MattH | Especially as it is still pretty good. |
| Elais | It would be nice to get some new faces on Stargate |
| Elais | I'm not too bothered of RDA's time next season is limited |
| MattH | Strange thing...we haven't seen much of the Goul'd this season |
| Elais | yeah, the replicators seem to be the big thing |
| MattH | They are making the same mistake with the replicators as Star Trek did with the Borg...they are giving them a human face/identity... |
| Elais | true |
| Elais | not sure what other direction they could have gone if they were going to bring back the replicators |
| MattH | I would have preferred them to get rid of the replicators....if they want a villain for the Asgard...use the Wraiths... |
| Elais | the wraiths are the bad guys on Atlantis? |
| MattH | Yeah...the ones who beat up on the Ancients... |
| MattH | I'd also like to see/learn more of the Furlings and the Nox. |
| Elais | that would be interesting |
| MattH | I'd also like to learn what the relationships of the other 3 races were to the Ancients...the early seasons made it seem like they were somewhat equal, but the comments made by Thor in this seasons opener sound like they were much more advanced than the Asgard at least. |
| Elais | the races were Ancients, Asgard, Furlings and the Nox |
| MattH | Yep...I'd like to know what the relationship between the Asgard and the Nox is now...what happened to the Tollen after Anubus took over their new home planet., etc. |
| Elais | how are things at work? |
| MattH | Slow...very slow. |
| MattH | I expect January will be as well...it was this year. |
| MattH | What about at your job? |
| Elais | slow...very slow |
| Elais | I was able to read a couple of short stories and do a crossword puzzle during regular work hours |
| Elais | I don't have net access at work |
| MattH | Heh...I spent the week working on some programs to use when we are busy.... |
| Elais | so it has been extremely boring so far this week |
| Elais | there are learning courses available on the company's intranet website |
| Elais | but there are only so many I can take before I go batshit |
| MattH | I feel guilty about doing anything not work related, even if there is no work.... |
| MattH | I totally understand...most such training stuff doesn't do much good anyway. |
| MattH | And is boring to boot. |
| Elais | barely remember what I've 'learned' two minutes after taking the course |
| Elais | but there is literally nothing else to do |
| Elais | I'm hoping this is just a slow patch and things will get busier in a week or two |
| MattH | The other person in my department is one vacation this week, and it is still slow....just no work whatsover. |
| MattH | Of course, when it picks up, it will all hit at once.... |
| Elais | yup |
| Elais | I'm not sure which is worse, being overwhelmed with work or not having any work at all |
| MattH | Not having any work....that way lies unemployment... which is *much* worse. |
| Elais | I've been down the unemployment block one or two times |
| MattH | Same here...way too unpleasant for my taste... |
| Elais | reading sacbee.com |
| MattH | Not much happening in CA at the moment...except rain |
| Elais | yeah, slow news day |
| Elais | this tsunami thing will be going on for weeks |
| MattH | Well...it has been a lot of rain...started Monday afternoon and ran through this afternoon down here in LA |
| Elais | not much rain or snow or anything around here |
| MattH | We have more rain on the way, too...just in time for the weekend. |
| Elais | my sister gave me coupons good for free movie tickets |
| Elais | might see a movie this weekend |
| MattH | Is there anything good to see at the movies right now? |
| Elais | I'm interested in 'The Woodsman' |
| Elais | that's the movie with Kevin Bacon playing a child molester. |
| Elais | PG-13, I think, so no bad stuff involving children |
| MattH | Hmmm....can't be very realistic then |
| Elais | well, he plays a child molester who has spend 12 years in prison |
| MattH | Can't deal much with prison life then...not and be PG-13 |
| Elais | I have no idea if it is 'realistic' or not |
| Elais | and I don't really care |
| MattH | Kevin Bacon is an excellent actor though. |
| Elais | I like Kevin Bacon, and this role sounds like an interesting one |
| Elais | nothing else really interests me |
| MattH | He even made me like Footloose... |
| MattH | ;-) |
| MattH | Have you seen the Incredibles? I hear that is an excellent film...not sure it is still playing though |
| Elais | saw the incredibles ages ago |
| Elais | I loved it! |
| Elais | oops, better get going Matt |
| MattH | Yep...see you next week. |
| Elais | have a good new years eve |
