The Buffy Diairies 03-13-2021

Buffynicity #1: I folded my laundry today and Rachel was foldling laundry in this episode.Scary Buffynicity #2: Today I’ve been retelling myself an old joke. In my movie “Bang-Shang-A-Lang”, Congressman Biff Hardassian has two German shepherds named Haldemann and Erlichmann. I haven’t thought of this joke in what seems like years, but today it occurred to me again and I thought of it several times. Then in tonight’s episode of Friends, Chandler is wearing doggie slippers i.e. a pair of slippers that look like dogs. This is so totally specific that it freaks me out.Even Scarier Buffynicity #3: Over the last couple of days I’ve been listening to Phantoms by the Fixx and working a lot on my story The Darkening of the Light, thinking about 80s rock and looking at the Apple Music Playlist “Rock Hits 1985”, which I added to my library. I was thinking about Duran Duran and how Simon Le Bon is still married to his wife, Yasmin. I was thinking that is cool, but I wondered if she was the same person as Yasmine Bleeth. I never think about this question, which is why it is colossally weird that Joey and Chandler just sat down to watch Baywatch and talked about being in love with Yasmine Bleeth. As a little extra, I just looked her up and found that 1985 was the year she married Simon.Totally fucked up Buffynicity #4: An hour or so ago I was rocking out to “Shakedown” by Bob Seeger and I visualized my guardian angels as backup singers. Then just now Phoebe was recording her song and was surprised by three backup singers behind her.Funny Buffynicity #5: I think it was yesterday, but certainly in the last three days I was driving home thinking about the velociraptors from Jurassic Park, specifically because I’ve been thinking of nasty things to say about Hollywood, like no one has cared about special effects since Jurassic Park showed they could put CGI creatures on the screen. Just now Ross was on the phone telling someone that Dino from Flintstones could not be a velociraptor.
